How to add a dx media player to sliding object
Monday, October 6, 2008 by Doubird | Discussion: DesktopX Tutorials
Hi, I played around with RomanDA's turorial:hide and seek which makes an object slide up and down. I was able to add an analog clock to the mask so when the target object slides up it reveals the clock. I have been trying to add weather instead of a clock but i'm having trouble. Same problems trying to put a media player. Can anyone help me do this? Is there a tutorial somewhere to help me or I could send you the sliding widget I made. Once i have one that works, i'll be able to check how it was done.
Thanks for your time

thanks, i'll check it out. I have made one with the weather that slides up but the problem so far is that if you change the location, the new location name will stay visible on the target. it is no longer hidden like the the rest of the weather info.

IF you send me the DXPACK i will look at it.. You have to set the PARENT object to the mask and make it a "CHILD" object, but if you want i will look at it.
Just email me. Make sure you use WC DX in the subject line

Try DL'ing some themes that have this capability built in so you can see how it's done. This theme by gef has a hidden MP3 player that's revealed when clicking a button. Found here. You can open the theme in DX Builder and then see how gef did this. I've learned a great deal about DX this way.
