WMP Color Change Problem - HELP!!! PLEASE!!
Wednesday, June 16, 2004 by RomanDA | Discussion: Skinning
Hey all,
I have a skin im working on. I have not tried to setup Video in my skins in the past, maily because it seems to be a major pain. I am trying to add Video to this latest skin im working on. The good news is the video seems to be doing as it should. The bad news is, this skin is designed to have multiple colors, and the when i attempt to use the command i was usiung to change the PNG files on the main skin, doesnt seem to work on the Video "view".
This skin has 2 "views", "mainview" and "video", the colors change fine on the "mainview" but not the "video" view.
All i am doing is changing the background image to another one based on what skin color is being called.
If you have any ideas on this problem, PLEASE email me or leave me a reply here. If you want to look over the JS or WMS code please let me know and i'd be happy to email you the skin to check out.
This is the last problem for this new skin, and im dying to get it all working, and up for people to see.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Sorry,
I thought it needed to be in this one after I added it to the other. Ill go back and see if i can remove the other one.

ok... here goes...
when u change the color (image) of ur main view u will first ve to check wether ur video view is open or not, then if its open u will ve to close it & reopen it with the new color...
so heres how ur skin should work...
whenever u open/close the video view u will ve to save a setting in windows registry to true/false accordingly...
then ven ur script which changes the color executes it should save the color value in the registry...
then it should check the video on/off setting from registry & then if the video view is open it should close it and reopen it...
for the video view to change color it should check the registry for the stored color value every time it opens...
hope this helps....
