I am trying to display the comment field on my skin, What is the script I would add to my skin xml file to display the scrolling comment of my playing deck on a 4 deck skin, Any 1 of the 4 decks should display the comment text at the same location on my skin. I used the comment to store info about a song/artist. Thanks.

You need to add this code to your skin..

<textzone deck="X">
<size width="477" height="22" />
<pos x="18" y="169"/>
<text font="arial" size="17" color="#28acff" weight="bold" format="%Comment" scroll="yes"/>
</textzone>

where X is the deck you wish to display the comment for. Of course you need to find the proper pos x,y along with the size and height depending on the skin you wish to use.

Thanks djdad but how would I just display the playing deck comment instead of a specific deck. (Ex if deck 2 is playing live, then display comment from deck 2. All deck will display the same position on my skin). Thanks

<text font="arial" size="17" color="#28acff" weight="bold" format="`deck active get loaded_song 'comment'`" scroll="yes"/>
</textzone>
