Why won't the ^$#%$#^ togglebuttons work?

Ok, this will probably end up being a stupid question, but anyways... I'm working on my first WA3 skin and for some reason the togglebutton functions in the main player do not work. (Crossfade, Shuffle, and Repeat.) The graphics work perfectly, but the buttons themselves do nothing. I have checked, re-checked, and re-written the .xml a dozen times but no go. Hints or suggestions anyone?

This is how it reads right now:

<togglebutton
id="Crossfade"
x="159" y="144"
Image="player.xfade.disabled"
downImage="player.xfade.pressed"
activeImage="player.xfade.enabled"
tooltip="Crossfade"
/>

And in the elements file:

<bitmap id="player.xfade.disabled" file="gfx/smalluplitoff.png" x="0" y="0" h="14" w="7"/>
<bitmap id="player.xfade.pressed" file="gfx/smalldown.png" x="0" y="0" h="14" w="7"/>
<bitmap id="player.xfade.enabled" file="gfx/smalluplit.png" x="0" y="0" h="14" w="7"/>

So why the hell won't it work?

have you changed anything in the sysfunc.m script?
the crossfade function is in that script.

[mrsamitk]

yes that happened to me too. what solved the problem? include sysfunc.maki script in your skin and it will work.

Right before

code:


</WinampAbstractionLayer>

put the following

code:


  <scripts>

    <script id="sysfunc" file="scripts/sysfunc.maki"/>

  </scripts>

The abouve statement assumes that you already have the sysfunc.maki in a seperate folder called "scripts".

Could be you simply don't have crossfade enabled in the
configuration panel. I had the same problem and thats all
it was. The crossfade has it's own area and the shuffle/repeat
is in the playlist configuration area.



Theres no reason the xml should stop them from working.
Oh and if you crash winamp before you close it on your own
these setting will not be saved into the studio.xnf

oh BTW. Nice to see you over here Adder.

I actually figured out the sysfunc.maki thing myself after thePlague's reply, although I ended up there the long-way-'round by copying the script into the main folder and calling on it direct in the skin.xml. Ah well, something for the update.

Thanks guys for the help. Looks like life is a bit harder here in the big leagues.

So, are we going to get to see a preview of your WA3 majic.

It is a bit harder to skin WA3. But you must admit that the
freedom of choosing your button sizes and layout is well worth
the trade-off.

I love skinning this monster.
