EDIT: TITLE FAIL ! It was "[BUG] <scratch>, <pannel> and <textzone>", but title doesn't like the <>...
Hi !
Currently working on MultiFunctions 7, I'm stucked on an issue. I think that's a bug of the skin engine, but my XML is pretty complex so I'm not sure.
XML (I'll do it in a tree style for easier understanding):
<pannel A group X>
=<pannel A_A group Y>
==<scratch/>
=</pannel A_A>
</pannel A>
<pannel B>
=<textzone/>
</pannel B group X>
-Pannels A and B are in the same group. They have the same position and size. They are obviously not displayed at the same time.
-Pannel A_A is a subpannel of Pannel A.
-The scratch element is on the pannel A_A.
-The textzone element is on the pannel B. It's position on the pannel B is inside the area used by the scratch element on the pannel A.
Issue:
-The textzone doesn't update. This textzone contains a "%fromcue" and the time stay frezzed while playing. It only affects the textzone which inside the scratch area. I've got other textareas with "%fromcue" just above the buggy one but outside the scratch element area that are working well...
Any idea?
SQ;p
PS: Keep in mind that the scratch element and the textzone are NOT VISIBLE AT THE SAME TIME !

What do you use to switch between panels A and B, buttons or visible script actions?

Buttons for pannels A and B, script for A_A...
When B is up, A_A is can be enabled as a subpannel of A (wich is not visible)
A_A is almost always enabled but is hidden by cascade when A is hidden...

Ok, just double checked, that's not the scratch element... That's the songpos element.
Please read "songpos" and not "scratch" in previous posts :)

I tried nesting pannels on a previous skin and wasn't able to get it to work correctly.
The problem I found is that this command <pannel pannel "a" id="a_a" group="main"> won't really do anything
So I wan't able to assign a sub-pannel to another pannel and hence they all wanted to show at the wrong times.
Unless I'm wrong fantastic skin master?

try to add to the visible of A_A ... visible="skin_panel 'A' on ? rest of your script"
This will make A_A panel appear if both actions are true.
Not sure about it, send me the code, if you want.

I've no problem with sub pannels... every single item I've got on every single subpannel (and they are a lot !) is working well... except for the songpos element which prevent textzones from refreshing...
Here is my <songpos> XML declaration:
<songpos pannel="2decksunlocked" deck="right" orientation="circle" waveform="no">
<size width="137" height="137"/>
<pos x="861" y="225"/>
<volume x="780" y="1645"/>
<selected x="780" y="1145"/>
<clipmask x="568" y="2201"/>
<mousemask x="568" y="2201"/>
</songpos>
I can't see anything wrong with it... maybe can you ?

I do think now that's must be an issue with the skin engine :'(

Did you try to add up to that songpos?
Posted Thu 14 Apr 11 @ 3:29 pm
squatman972
Yes.
I made a really simple skin to show you the issue: http://files.squatsoft.com/songposissue.zip
-2 pannels in the same group
-1 circular songpos
-2 clocks
It's ULTRA simple but it works:
-Bind a key with "settings" ;)
-Play a track on your deck 1 from your current skin
-Change skin with this one
-Toggle pannels
You will see that the clock on the pannel B refreshes only when you toggle pannels...
That's exactlly what I get with my skin...

Great !
I hope you'll have better luck than me... I wasted about 6 hours on it :(
If only the "circular" visuals haven't been removed...

Hello,
Replace the textzone with a button (no action)
for exemple in your zip file from line 40 :
replace:
-Clocks
<textzone pannel="B">
<size width="113" height="27"/>
<pos x="286" y="83"/>
<up x="0" y="40"/>
<text font="LCD" size="15" color="#D1D3D4" align="center" weight="bold" format="%fullhour"/>
</textzone>
to:
-Clocks
<button pannel="B">
<size width="113" height="27"/>
<pos x="286" y="83"/>
<up x="0" y="40"/>
<text font="LCD" size="15" color="#D1D3D4" align="center" weight="bold" format="%fullhour"/>
</button>
it work for my :p
but, but ....
I understand your need to realize
it works but there are flickering when data is refreshed
BMP files poses some limitations...
one more thing
tried also with the textzone to extend to overflow the pannel
it works too if you really want a textzone
then uses a well defined clipmask
bye
