image save state / turn off / variables

[i b o]

hey guys!

i have included a few images into my skin, which you can cycle through.

now, i want to add an option to completely switch those images off. and i want winamp to remember onload, which image was shown when it was shut down...

guess, i will have to save some variables...?

come on, slob!

if i knew, how to save & load variables, i would not post this question!

[i b o]

setPrivateInt() & getPrivateString()
setPublicInt() & getPublicInt()

???

i don't know the difference between private & public...

[SLoB]

hehe, i'm not sorry that i was being vague

but you only really need to use private ints or strings
something like this

Global Int iLCDMode;
iLCDMode = getPrivateInt("RType_LCDMode", "LCDMode", 0);
default being 0 if no value found

if you make your skin layer changes with a function you can call it on startup with a variable as above
such as
changemybackground(iLCDMode);

on unload or in your function
setPrivateInt("RType_LCDMode", "LCDMode", iLCDMode);
obviously changing the value of iLCDMode depending on your image etc..

I did a similar thing on media whore and the mini me skins to save the images, I used one of these...

code:
Global int image;

A few of these...

code:


Function saveconfigs();

Function switchimage();

function loadconfigs();

Couple these when the skin loaded...

code:


// LOAD CONFIGS AND SWITCH IF NEEDED

loadconfigs(); 

switchimage();

One of these when you close the skin..

code:


System.onScriptUnloading() {

saveconfigs();

}

Assigned "image" a variable every time the image was switched,1,2,3,4 etc etc and then did a very simple save/load routine to write the variable to studio.xnf

code:


//SIMPLE SAVE CONFIGS AND LOAD CONFIGS



saveConfigs(){

setPrivateInt("skinname", "backimage", image); 

}

loadconfigs(){

image = getprivateint("skinname", "backimage", image);

}

There, that should be enough to get you started...

thanks guys! works perfect!

next step: i will have to simply my code, so i want to make a loop with a integerToString()-command...

how do i add the string to a param-name?

Global int showing;

img_layer.setXmlParam("image", "img"+"showing")

and i could not find any documentation / examles, how to implement loops...

;-)

maybe:

global int showing, img;

img_layer.setXmlParam(ïmage", integerToString(img + string);
