Topic: Pannel layering

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Ok, what is the proper syntax to layer pannels?

say i have a pannel that is 10x10 units (square) and i would like to have another group of pannels 2x5 units inside the 10x10 pannel

call 10x10 base call 2x5 layer

I want to put an element on each variation of these two pannel

for instance this is the code I am using

<rhythmzone pannel="red" pannel="split">

<rhythmzone pannel="yellow" pannel="split">

<rhythmzone pannel="blue" pannel="split">

where the color is the base and the split is the layer on top of it.

HELP!

All it does is flicker

hmmm, i think its not the right way CB,

one of those panels (colors..2X5) will be visible all the time, as long as that 10X10 panel is visible.

You can't use the following code

<rhythmzone pannel="red" pannel="split">

<rhythmzone pannel="yellow" pannel="split">

<rhythmzone pannel="blue" pannel="split">

because you call the "pannel" element twice on your definitions
You have to create sub-panels
<pannel id="split">
<pannel id="red" pannel="split">
<pannel id="yellow" pannel="split">
<pannel id="blue" pannel="split">

Then you place your elements inside the sub-pannels:
<rhythmzone pannel="red" >
<rhythmzone pannel="yellow" >
<rhythmzone pannel="blue" >

that what I was thinking too. Bob, the xml file is huge. I wouldn't ask anyone to debug it. LOL

I'll try defining the pannels as sub-pannels

what I'm doing is completing the coding for the multi color version of Blackest Night and all that's remaining is the Rhythmzone codes and I have so many variations of the waveform I'm trying to avoid 60 seperate rhythmzone definitions

i have <ab><cd><abcd> etc etc which are all pannels

but now I am adding base pannels <green><red><blue><yellow><purple> which encompass the entire screen and all other pannels are on top of those base colors

I want the rhythmzones to change the color coding based on what the base color selected is
would conditional pannel viewing be appropriate?

for instance <pannel id="abgreen" group="waves" visible="skin_pannel 'green' on">?

I'm thinking no because if i change the wave set to <cd> then <ab> would still be trying to show through...

I think I'm just going to have to assign 5 variations to every waveform style and add a skinpannel 'abgreen' on to the color selection button then assign color specifis pannel selections to the buttons on that particular layers wave selection buttons

ugh.... copy paste type type replace copy paste,,,, ugh it's a monster!!!
