The thread you posted in is just for Action Script Postings...


It looks to me that the xas can't find pwscreen.xas...  

In line 12 - $actualpath$ tells you where MXM is run from... So if you launch MXM as a dashboard from c:\ then $actualpath$ = c:\ ...   Just make sure that the callfile line points to pwscreen.xas.... there are several others in the xas.

I use my own variables to define paths...  Load the following code in MXM.xml Autoexec... Edit the paths to your situation....

line 12: callfile %_scriptpath%pwscreen.xas

CODE
;#
;#Set MXM Scripting Enviroment Path Variables
;#auto load in AutoExec in MXM.xml
;#


SET _scriptpath "c:\\mxm\\mxmscripts\\"
SET _gamepath "f:\\games\\"
;SET _appspatch "f:\\apps\\"
;SET _skinpath "c:\\mxm\\mxmskins\\"
;SET _mediapath "e:\\mxmmedia\\"
;SET _thumbspath "e:\\mxmmedia\\"
;SET _coverartpath "e:\\mxmmedia\\"

Thanks for the reply, so say if i'm runnning from E:\Scripts\pw.xas
Then i have to change $actualpath$\scripts\pwscreen.xas to E:\Scripts\pw.xas and do that all the way through?
edit: nope thats wrong, i have to add that stuff quoted into the mxm.xml!

Still can't figure it out, I get this screen:
(IMG:http://homepage.ntlworld.com/angela.taylor47/SCRCAP_0004.JPG)
And this is how I have changed the MXM.XML to try to do what  you said

Firs off if you plan on doing it the LarryX way, it would be like this.

%_ScriptPath%pw.xas

Second, it looks to me like you didn't do the autoexec part correctly. Should be..

CODE



SET _ScriptPath E:\scripts\
SET _GamePath E:\games\
SET _AppPath E:\apps\
SET _SkinPath C:\skins\
SET _MediaPath E:\mxmmedia\
SET _ThumbPath E:\mxmmedia\
SET _CoverPath E:\mxmmedia\




And qoutes are ONLY needed when the path has spaces in it.

Ok I removed that from my MXM.XML and have added it to my menu.xml shown below
QUOTE

<Title>Fan Speed</Title>
<Description>Change Fan Speed</Description>
<Action>Callfile E:\Scripts\FanSpeed.xas</Action>
<Media>E:\MXM Videos\scripts.wmv</Media>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>AutoExec</Title>
<Description>AutoExec</Description>
<Action>Callfile E:\Scripts\_AutoExec.xas</Action>
<Media>E:\MXM Videos\scripts.wmv</Media>
</Item>
</Submenu>
</menu>


So i ran AutoExec then went back and tried to launch a game I had passcoded and this time I got the screen where you got to put in the pascode
and the black screen with 5 boxes to put in my pasword comes up. However it then freezes before I press anything and says 'error line 81' and I have to turn off xbox then back on.
And to get to even be able to get to the password bit were it crashes I have to run AutoExec AGAIN!
Please help meeee

just now saw this post, so i modified the script so now you wont have to worry about the problem you guys are getting
CODE

Game1

 SET DIGIT1a A
 SET DIGIT2a B
 SET DIGIT3a X
 SET DIGIT4a Y
 SET DIGIT5a A
 SET PWSCRIPTPATH "E:\\scripts"
 SET PATHNAME "C:\\folder\\anotherfolder"
 SET FILENAME "default.xbe"
 Callfile %PWSCRIPTPATH%\pw.xas



that is how the new script works, so now the script can be run from anywhere.  hopefully the new version (1.1) will be on AXS soon

get it here

Well I have got it working sort of, but i have to run Autoexec to get it to work!!!
Please can you just post the two scripts up here so i can create it in Notepad?
And btw do you plan on implementing a background image for it? As i think a 'Please enter password' windows style background would be good!

Insert this above the problematic line:

CODE
Begindraw
messagebox $actualpath$\scripts\pwscreen.xas
enddraw

DELAY 5

Callfile $actualpath$\scripts\pwscreen.xas


Then run it, and see what exact path/filename its looking for, and verify it exists.  Remember to check for missing or double slashes and whatnot.

Works beautifully now!!
Is it possible to use this to password a folder?
Also would anyone have any idea how to add a background image?
