Can I use this program to create skin for the MXM Multi-Game options? Thanks

Well, the program generates standard MXM skins, so there should be no problem in using the skins for multi-game dvds (if that is what you mean)

Well, that small window is your preview.

To put the video into the skin, drag your mouse across the "big black box".

As for the skins not loading, double check whether the MXM_skin.xml file exists in the folder you select.
-OR-
It might be an OS issue.  I am using winXP, and it works fine.

That AllowVideoSound tag goes into your MXM.xml file, NOT the MXM_skin.xml file This is where it goes: CODE      True

Put this in your MXM.xml

This will make MXM play all .wma files (in random order) included in this folder:
(skin folder)Music

bah I wanted my viedo to work! Thanks a lot i was really pulling my hair out!

Here's a snippet from the Matrix Skin.... it plays the audio from the video-based element used as the background when it cranks up.

CODE

1     false          True

[irajames1176]

so we can see where the tv cut's off on the skin, and being able to click on the menu box or text box we just made and being able to edit it at the bottom again, these are just very little things other then that i'm lovin this program thanks a bunch man

[hazed69]

is there a way to add a picture on top of a video maybe like cut out picture on a video

[moowear]

Can't seem to find any info on this;

is there a way to add fonts and adjust font size within skinner?

Not supported: -Modifiers -Timers -Transparent boxes (they show up opaque) -Conditionals -PNG pictures (they show up blank) -Fonts

[geniusalz]

. I got 28 compile errors,  21 design errors and more than a hundred runtime warnings.  Guess I'll have to stick to VB 6.

As for the font support, generating XPR's is beyond my scope.  Maybe I'll add fonts to the resource management, but you'll have to make your own XPR's

Right now I have added system color support, and am currently working on audio support, including background music and event sounds.

Next in my todo list is timer, conditional and modifier support. (Which makes the window even bigger .  Well, it doesn't fit in 800x600 anyway)

And allowing editing of element properties after creation is tough, might take a while.

[moowear]

cool, thanks.

great program by the way geniusalz!
