Volume/mouse wheel interference

[JW]

I have two different containers in my skin that have volume controls. In one (shade mode), the mouse wheel works, but not in the other (main). Oddity - when the main one is displayed, I can click on other open containers and the wheel will control the volume. Both containers are defined similarly. I've tried removing (nearly) everything from the main one, in case something was interfering with it, and it still doesn't work.

It shouldn't really even matter if there are controls or not, right? The wheel should control the volume with any container displayed, yes?

you dont say what type of control
same control i.e. standard slider, region map, animated layer
have you got volume maki scripts for both modes?
if so you could add the following

code:


System.onVolumeChanged(int newVol) {

	int p = (newVol * 100) / 255;

	yoursongticker.settext("Vol:" + System.integerToString(p) + "%");

}

this normally sorts the wheel out

If there is components in the container the components will take the control. You can add wantfocus="1" to a group of a container with components(vid/vis/lib/...) and when this group is clicked the mouse will move the volume.

Example:
If you have to groups in the playlist container the mouse will always control the playlist(list up/down) but if you have a group with wantfocus="1" it will still move the playlist but if you click the group volume will take it again and vice versa.

Both layouts have buttons that either add or subtract 2.55 from the current volume each time they're clicked (very similar to your solution). I do have region maps that update with System.onVolumeChanged, but for display of the volume level only (and same script handles both layouts).

No components in that container, although I did have that problem when I had the playlist in the main container a long time ago
