So they don't have to fast forward 7 times to get to the 7th song they want to hear?
Thanks.
Depends on which skin you use (Mine is "Classic Right List"). Different skin have different displays. Some you can change colors in, some you can't. Make your player, than go to skin in the properties. You can check 'um all out there. And, of course, make sure they are all labeled.
Ah ok, so if I don't the song list show up (as I'm scrolling through the different skins) then it won't do it.
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I coded to populate the list.
Some skins obviously you can't put the list because there's no room (like the boom box skin).
But, some skins, by their physical appearance LOOK like they have room for something there, big empty blank spot... so I was thinking I was supposed to code something there like the playlist.
Examples of these skins are "wood", "transparent", "sunset" just to name a few where you can see the current song label scrolling across the top.... play dials at the bottom... then 80% of the picture (of this skin) is completely blank and unused... it LOOKS like something should be going in there.
Thus, I thought the playlist would be the perfect thing, like in the "isilver" default skin.
When you look at the properties of the media player, and when you are chosing one, if it will give a playlist, then it will say playlist visable. The reason for "80% of the pic" is a design and were to show videos. Each player has a personality.
You can edit the skins as well. I suggest making a copy of the skins directory then tinkering with the load.as script.... I'm working on a commented skin to share with everyone that should help a little.
File now available on the exchange. Two skins the blgold is commented.
Why not suggest that this folder (once extracted) be placed into the Kollomes>>bin>>media folder so that when you open up the properties box in koolmoves, this new player will be seen as an option?Quote:

That bdlgold one is awesome!Quote:

Like when you go to any artist page, you click "stream all" or something, the complete list loads in your default player so you can choose what you want to hear.
As it is now, there's this big 80% of the picture that's blank, like there's something missing that should be going there. IT's just how it looks.
Just my feedback.
Absolutely fantastic new component to add to Koolmoves though. I can make good use out of something like that, as I can imagine a lot of people can.
The amount of empty space that is shown, also depends on the size of your mediaplayer component.
Most skins that are intended to play video files can be scaled. If you make them smaller, there will be less empty space.
Some skins have an integrated playlist. If you don't mind a playlist being not integrated into the skin, you can use a combobox or listbox instead. If you want to do that, don't set any items for the mediaplayer component but set up a list of items (label will show up, value should be filename) for the combobox or listbox. Then add a simple line of actionscript to the frame like
mediaplayer1.setPlaylist(combobox1);
to connect them.
A little confused here, if the free upgrades expiration box says:
"Feb. 2007 or later (release of version 6)"
That means I can't upgrade to version 6 for free?
Please see Bob's comments earlier on the thread.Quote:

"Feb. 2007 or later (release of version 6)"
means free upgrades up to but not including release of version 6
-ok.
Thanks for stating it so succinctly.
Just downloaded and installed upgrade to new version. I am very excited by the changes. Woowee
Ow. I like that. But it seems to bypass the start paused "Yes" function. Any way around that?Quote:

Cool. Thanks. I'm really liking this media player. Gotta say, this is the best update to KoolMoves yet.
