Problems with the order of VIEW elements in WMP skins
Saturday, July 19, 2003 by CerebroJD | Discussion: Skinning
I'm making a skin for media player with two windows. One is the normal window and the other is the video window. When I put the normal window VIEW before the other video VIEW then the normal window is visible but there is no video. When I put the video VIEW first, it shows up but no normal window. Its really wierd and I cant get them both to show up at the smae time. Anyone have any clues on this problem?

I put it in the OnLoad function but it still wont show up! Grr, this is getting frusterating! I appreciate your help though. I dont know why this wont work! This is the VIEW's code: (replace [ and ] with angle brackets)
[VIEW title="Video"
width="470"
height="1000"
titleBar="false"
resizable="false"
zIndex="1"]
[SUBVIEW id="Visuals"
top="-200" (note: this is set to -200 because it is supposed to slide down into place. Even when I change it though, it still doesnt work)
left="100"
backgroundImage="vidbackground.bmp"
onEndMove="JScript: ShowVid();"
visible="true"]
[video id="Vid"
left="12"
top="9"
width="225"
height="156"
onVideoStart="JScript: MoveVid();"
onVideoEnd="JScript: VidUp();"
visible="true"/]
[/SUBVIEW]
[/VIEW]
Do you see anything wrong with this code?

I don't think the content of the video view matters (I would make it the second view, with the main view being first). Although wait a sec... you should have a
id="viewvid"
line in the video view, which you don't currently have, then try again the
[VIEW id="mainview"
(variable stuff)
OnClick="blahblahblah;theme.openView('viewvid');"
]
See if that works, in other words, much more simply, I think you just need "id" instead of "title" for the 2nd view. HTH,

You can call this under the first view's OnLoad function if you want it to open right away, or on a button's OnClick function. Also: theme.closeView('...');.
