Play button help
Thursday, September 8, 2005 by 4thpage | Discussion: Skinning
I'm a beginner here. I've only created one skin (it's for WMP 10), and that was just because I could never find one small enough for me. I'm pretty happy with it, except for one area.
I want to know how to get my play/pause button to respond to the player's current play state. For example, right now, clicking the button changes it from play to pause or pause to play. The problem is that if, for example, I've pressed play and the player is playing, the button has changed to pause. Fine. When I press stop, I want it to change back to play. As it is now, I would have to click it once to change it back from pause to play; then click it again to start the player. Another example is controlling the player from the keyboard shortcuts. I'd like the buttons on my skin to respond appropriately.
I'm guessing this all has to do with needing a Java Script file, something about which I am totally unknowledgeable. I'd appreciate any help. I've tried looking at other source code, but can't quite figure this out the way I did everything else. If you want to look at my .wms file, you can download it here: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=615&LibID=9
Thanks in advance!
