Change object id

Saturday, March 17, 2007 by ChonJi | Discussion: New Users

Help! I'm trying to load two different widgets which have the same object id. How do I change the object id so that I'll be able to load them without problems. The thing is, theyare both picture frame so if I don't change the object id, I end up loading the same picture for both of them.


Thanks!

I tried that once, didn't work. Since I was only playing I haven't followed through.


I suspect if you make a copy and open it up and then change everything so's all things have a different name (eg: frametop.bmp becomes frametop2.bmp)it might work.

off to try.....

hmmm... imported the Silica Frame widget - exported as SilicaFrame2test.exe

now have 2 instances running using different folders.

also had them using same folder but different change rates.

You may not have to bother renaming any object ids, try opening one of the widgets in DX builder then just export back to a widget using a different name also when you export them back try ticking off "allow multiple instances". This should allow you to have multiple picture frames running.
