SO what is the last button of the dialog toolbar that pops up for (the one that looks like a little logo) Oh and why does the dialog toolbar "pop up" why don't you build it into the border of the inteface on a side bar such as Fireworks, Paint, etc...

My guess is that's gonna the image control

Yeah, it's the image control. As for the popup, I wanted everything to be self-contained (its just simpler that way. I've had enough trouble with skinner otherwise) I didn't want the toolbar to always stay up either, hence the popup.

The code is in there (right-click 'Show tag' works), it just won't show up in the box.

Hmm well in my now hour of use of it, I have found the popup toolbar unobtrusive, but annoying. I guess its just on a visual perception basis for me, but I like always having the"tools" I need in sight. But, a minor annoyance it is, and to others probably not one at all. In all though, I like the progress and where this is going simply because as I said before, I actually understand how the controls are going to be controlled by an actionscript when looking at the generated code, alongside the testdialog. THanks for the sweet alpha tool G-Dub, hope you get this thing fianlized sometime so I can maybe, as I said before, actually contribute something program/actionscript wise to MXM.

One thing that bugs me is the how nothing is centered on the screen (the app)
Maybe you could make it so all the forms are centered.

OK, I'll do that when I polish the interface up.

Another idea for you geniusalz. On the Show Tag stuff. Maybe you could change it from a messagebox to a form with the tag inside a Text Box so you can copy (Right Click)the tag from right there if need be.

geniusalz · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2004, 06:16:00 PM »

But I'll consider keeping it as a textbox

Yeah, I fixed the error

I did the resize stuff myself for the custom controls. Four picboxes (one at each corner) in the control that change color on mouseenter, and when dragged they resize the control.

If you want to have a look at it, pm me

As for the resizing of controls while resizing windows (such as the script editor window), that's from the .net framework (that's what I was talking about there), using the 'Anchor' property.

I'm a little busy nowadays, so can't work on it much (next week I think I'll be free most of the days)
