creating a slide show with a drag and drop

July 28, 2006 8:45:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I am trying to make a slide show where you just drag and drop the images that you want. I am having a problem figuring out the scripting for it.  Also would it be posable to  drop  the images on to another object other then the one displaying them.  Any help ya'll can give would be great.

If you're using desktopx, I may have part of the answer:

1. Create 2 objects, "collect" & "display"
2. Set the height and width of the "display" object (e.g. 200 x 200)
3. Insert script below into the "collect" object


Sub Object_OnDropFiles(files)
desktopx.Object("display").states("").picture= files
End Sub


[[[ desktopx.Object("display").states("").picture= ]]]] --- That is how you set object pictures remotely.
(*Remember, that's states with an 's' on the end. It doesn't work without it.)

Well, I can't help you on the slide show part. I'm sure it has something to do with the enumeration of the files dropped and setting a timer but I can't figure it out.

Hope this helps.

would it not be akin to something like the picture frame widget? but with a remote drop container?

I thought you can't use any of Tiggz's scripts?

I think he wants you to ask before posting a widget?

I wasn't suggesting "using" a script without permisssion. Just pointing out that there existed a widget which had very similar functionality to what the original poster described.

Oh, okay.

This reminds me of a question I've always wondered about. Does anyone else get slightly discouraged when they get a good idea for a widget and then find a superior one that already exists? That kinda happened to me when I found out about Tiggz's OMNI Wallchanger-- but I went ahead, finished mine and submitted it. Not quite as pro as Tiggz's but, oh well.

No problem Hillbillyoct19. If I figure out anything else I'll let you know.
