Cliff, I have a request. I think it would be great if you add some new object functions. I have one in mind, an object function that could enable you to make some specified layers to show and hide other specified layer at the same time.

you can use modify(a,b,c,d,e,f,g) etc.
you could setup those ids to hide/show specific layers easily enough

not tried using multiple modifies on a layer tho, hmm

Could you give me an example of what you mean?

Currently you can use a button object and then use as SLoB said, the modify() keyword with a list of id's separated by commas, so for example:

Code: Select All Code

button_normal modify(panel1,panel2,panel3) action_layer_show

Or do you mean that you'd like the ability to do the following?:

Code: Select All Code

button_normal modify(panel1) action_layer_show modify(panel2) action_layer_hide

(Which allows you to show one layer and hide the other layer on the same button)

?

Never known those before. I thought the modify() could only control one id.

I'm working on my new skin which has menu arranged in 5 coloumns and 3 rows like you found on a cell phone. And the skin have a 4-way navigation key, which enables you to navigate through menus in four different ways.

The problem is besides the nav key I want it only has one main button. Now I have three, one for each row.

And thanks to you guys, I think the problem gonna be solved

cool
don't forget you can create animation sets and trigger those off so you could do all manner of things
you could create 2 sets, 1 to show things and clone it and change it to hide
then you could use modify(a,b) acanplay and it will go through those sets showing and hiding stuff

there in adds a bit more complexity to the skin logic but then that is what your after anyways, mark groups/sets with a colour so that you can distinguish them apart from other layers/sets
