Topic: Need help or idea to make an hidden slider or other trick

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello Skin Team,

i'am a stupid newbie by creating vdj skin. ;-)
Today it's my first skin tests. But it's very cool.

I need help.

I want to make an textzone which displays me the "pitch".
I'am make an slider over which textzone (sam position and size like the textzone).

I would make an hidden slide over which textzone. But when i slide.... the texzone the slider (is a black graphic position) is paint over :-(.

So i tested it wih an transparent graphic in my bmp file. But the transparent graphic is ingored from vdj :-(.

Hase anybody an idea how can i realize an transparent/hidden slider.

Here is my work example


*gain level des tracks*
<textzone chan="1">
<size width="60" height="30"/>
<pos x="447" y="331"/>
<text font="TAHOMA" size="30" color="#CCFF00" align="center" format="%Plevel"/>
</textzone>

*slider/actions für das gain level des tracks*
<slider action="gain" chan="1" orientation="round" dblclick="reset" rightclick="auto">
<size width="60" height="30"/>
<pos x="447" y="331"/>
<fader sensibility="4000">
<pos x="100" y="100" nb="1"/> *this is the black pixel but black is shit and transparency dont work :-(*
</fader>
<clipmask x="447" y="380"/>
</slider>

Pleeeeaase help me and many greatings

Hi DJ Mykel,

many thanks it works fine. *yeaahh* thx thank ;-).

But i have the next question ;-)
How can i make an button with 2 actions

I want to make an textzone as which displays cue point.

I try to make an button which due 2 actions leftclick set cuepoint and right or dblclick go to my cuepoint. But why only works the right button. Which make i wrong.

My idea was to make an button1 for leftlick action and an button2 for right click action.


I not understand the skin tutorial

<button action="" chan="" value="" rightclick="" dblclick="" leftclick="" pannel="">.
Which values can i set to the rightclick="" dblclick="" leftclick="" vaules??.

Thanks for help or idea

It isn't possible to have 2 functions on a single button, but it does sound like action="hotcue" may help you with the feature you want.

Hope to see you as a registered user soon :D

<pos x="18" y="367"/>
</button>

...lefcklick="1" not work righclick="0" lefcklick="1" not work. Which values muste i use.
To bring the edit_cuename command to front?

Hotcue is another command (although I am not sure if it is valid in 3.4).

The SDK is the most useful guide, but I suggest you open the default skin XML and try to copy/edit some of the functions from there. This will give you a great aid in understanding the functions of the codes.

leftclick is similar to value, and therefore you can leave that out in your example.

doubleclick is often used to "reset" (sliders, knobs, etc)
