Question about animation

[strike105x]

Hi i want to try and do a skin and i have a question is it possible to do a command or maki that lets a animation start when the music starts ?
I aint refering to the Speaker beat effect on the music i know how to do that and thats not what i want to do. I just want a normal animated layer,

id="Example1"
image="anim.example"
x="5" y="20"
w="200" h="200"
move="0"
autoplay="1"
autoreplay="1"
speed="50"
/>
like the one above to start, stop or pause (and just start or stop i dont want the speaker effect like i said) the same time the music starts playing/pause or stop.

Ty in advance.

Hi

You have to start/stop your animation with a script using the onplay() onstop(), onpause() and onresume() functions, the autoplay parameter being set to 0 in the the xml definition.

Thx for answering . thats what i did but now i stumbled in to another problem i tried to integrate the video, avs even the playlist in the main window and i have 2 problems:
1st problem without the playlist editor integrated in the main window:
When i have the playlist editor docket/snaped to the main window and also if i have avs/video playing if i move the main window the image in the avs/video stay's put gets all glitchy and its not moving with the rest of the window (only happens with pl docket/snaped also i have not skinned the PL yet).

2nd problem with all of the commponents integrated in to the main window (including playlist) i get a black shape left when i close video/avs (with just having video integrated is fine without avs/playlist).

here are my xml configs for the 3 components:

<groupdef id="AVSGroup" w="364" h="189" maximum_w="364" maximum_h="189" owner="main,normal" lockto="main,normal">
<component
id="InlineAVS"
x="0" y="0" w="364" h="189"
noshowcmdbar="1"
autoopen="0"
autoclose="0"
disableanimatedrects="1"
param="guid:avs"
sysregion="1"
/>
<LayoutStatus id="layoutstatus" x="0" y="-12" w="0" relaty="1" h="10" relatw="1" exclude="{system}" />
</groupdef>

<groupdef id="VideoGroup" w="364" h="189" maximum_w="364" maximum_h="189" owner="main,normal" lockto="main,normal">
<component
id="InlineVideo"
image="bg.main"
x="0" y="0" w="364" h="189"
noshowcmdbar="1"
autoopen="0"
autoclose="0"
disableanimatedrects="1"
param="guid:{F0816D7B-FFFC-4343-80F2-E8199AA15CC3}"
sysregion="1"
/>
<LayoutStatus id="layoutstatus" x="0" y="-12" w="0" relaty="1" h="10" relatw="1" exclude="{system}" />

<groupdef id="PLEGroup" background="pl.bg" w="364" h="189" maximum_w="364" maximum_h="189" owner="main,normal" lockto="main,normal">
<component
id="InlinePLE"
x="0" y="0" w="364" h="160"
noshowcmdbar="1"
autoopen="0"
autoclose="0"
disableanimatedrects="1"
param="guid:45F3F7C1-A6F3-4EE6-A15E-125E92FC3F8D"
/>
<LayoutStatus id="layoutstatus" x="0" y="-20" w="-5" relaty="1" h="20" relatw="1" exclude="{system}" />

i would ilke to say i dont necessarily want to add the playlist to the main window probably the only reason i started to try doing it was because of the video problem when it was attached.

pls help me with this cause i'm going crazy...

[strike105x]

I think i found part of the problem the components fail to hide/close properly dont know why...

[strike105x]

Ok i used <windowholder... etc/> in the normal player xml but now when i start a video playback desktopalpha turns off is there anyway to resolve this issue ? ty in advance

[strike105x]

This is driving me crazy i used <windowholder method but now my skins drawers get messed up if when playback starts if double size is pressed for example... plss anyone help me with this i dont know what to do anymore i've been working 5 days on this video crap... and nothing...

[strike105x]

Since you cant edit messages after a period of time il post again sry, i managed to solve my problems partially i think, damn a good nights sleep is good.

[strike105x]

Ok this will be my last question but i cant find a answer except for my skin when video playback starts it continues without any problem automatically to the next video clip but in my skin i have to push play to make it start playing the next video what am i doing wrong ? (btw i'm using the window kill method in bento for video and avs) and i have tried all kind various options with windowholder. (btw just to make sure, what i mean is it jumps to the next clip but doesnt start playback.)

[strike105x]

I'm sry it was a dumb question.I'm tired the next post il make will be with the skin.
