Scotty, I agree with you to one point, doing the copy and paste in this program sometimes doesn't work. But this time I typed it in, the reason I had my first problem is because I typed something wrong. If I removed the last endif, it crashed. Still can't figure it out.

Now here is a good one we ran into. I attempted to change the color of the temp high and lows for each day.  Added the code and it didn't work at first until I removed some of the blank spaces. Then the weirdest thing happened.  On refresh the first day dimmed but the buffer was not replaced.  How can a can a color change affect the code so drastically?

Hi joelw135

Can you post your skin - I'll take a look. As I say above, I can't just accept that you need an extra endif -- darn it, the things should balance out !

Interesting that you, too, found that copy / paste didn't work.....I thought I was losing my mind  

All the best

Here is the skin, have fun. What ever you do don't purge the buffer, I am working on the update time turning red when information is 1 hour old. But if there is nothing in buffer it crashes. Maybe you can figure that one out.

Scotty,
It was all typed in by me. No cut and paste. I am still playing, but if it works I ain't going to complain.

[Scotty]

Thanks, I'll take a look

Question:  above, in the code you posted, you wrote:

storevar,var0=1,0

what is the extra term at the end (,0)?? Why not just storevar,var0=1 ???

I suspect maybe things have changed (I am not enrolled as a beta tester, and the only reference file that I have access to is for 10.2 - and in that, the storevar command doesn't have the extra term that you included....)

All the best.......Scotty

I do know what you mean - but it should make sense......

[Blazingwolf]

I would like it to make sense also. The code I am using does not have the extra ,0 in like joelw135's and it still works like that. Here is the code in question:


initvar,var0,1

imagebutton,131,64,right_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_1
button,131,64,12,24,0,4,0,0
imagebutton,120,64,left_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_-1
button,120,64,12,24,0,2,0


   if,var,var0,,>,%var29%
      storevar,var0=1
      else
   endif

      if,var,var0,,<,1
          storevar,var0=%var29%
           else
       endif
endif

You can see where I added in some of the code you posted.

[joelw135]

I am looking at the code, I don't no where you see that!

[Blazingwolf]

I think he meant the code you typed in an earlier post.

Hi joelw135

there is, I think, an extra endif in the skin that you posted. I have made your skin red, and the extra endif is in green.

// Icon is button to weather section

initvar,var0,1

imagebutton,144,23,right_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_1
button,144,23,12,24,0,4,0,0
imagebutton,144,41,left_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_-1
button,144,41,12,24,0,2,0

   if,var,var0,,>,%var29%
      storevar,var0=1
      else
   endif

      if,var,var0,,<,1
          storevar,var0=%var29%
           else
       endif
endif

Gotta go - my beloved is asking why I spend so much time at the computer  

All the best.....Scotty

[Blazingwolf]

That is the extra endif that makes this work for our skin. Can you see why we need it. I can't find anything that would need it.

[joelw135]

That is the endif we are talking about, with out it the darn thing wouldn't work. Like you said it could be anything in the way the code was placed in the skin. I have had problems with spacing causing problems.

[Scotty]

Hi again

I left my wife watching TV  

I loaded joelw135's skin, and the scrolling worked....then I deleted the endif that we all agree should not be there -- and it STILL WORKED  

Curioser & curioser......

Just FYI, here's my skin (you'll recognize a lot of the code, Blazingwolf   ).....it's not really a ZIP, just DL, & change the extension from ZIP to TXT... then load it, and see if the scrolling works for you. Some of the images may not be there (we use different weather icons, and I've modifed a number of the buttons) but that's a detail...

Let me know....Scotty

[Blazingwolf]

Strange your works on my unit also. I think I will rewrite the whole section and see waht happens. Still doesn't make sense but we will see what happens.

[Scotty]

One thing I have noticed about joelw135's skin:

imagebutton,144,23,right_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_1
button,144,23,12,24,0,4,0,0
imagebutton,144,41,left_arrow.png,t,1,13,var0_-1
button,144,41,12,24,0,2,0

Several of the buttons overlap. Look at the left arrow button, drawn at 144,41. the "invisible" button drawn at 144,23 overlaps it (because that button is 12 by 24, so it extends down over the left arrow); and the top half of the "invisible" button at 144,41 also overlaps it....

Not sure if this is the problem.....but it means that, when you click on the left arrow, you activate 3 lines of code....

All the best.....Scotty
