Textures' SetTexture()

[Czarownik]

When adding a texture in WoWuides, the texture is added within a "<Frame...". The problem with that is, that from within WoW, I can't call SetTexture() to change the texture in-game, since the texture itself does not have "NAME" property, only the added "<Frame..." has the name. Currently I have to modify the XML form, to add the "name=" property within the "<Texture " tag, in order to be able to modify the texture within game.

The latest beta at http://wowuides.wowinterface.com/beta.html has this fixed, with the texture named $parentTexture. Just install this, open the form, and resave it, and it will be named properly.

The Texture name is still not working.
The designer even takes it away (if you added it in manually) if you resave the form.
Using version 1.0.200.0

Therefore:
In order to us SetTexture()
Right now you must edit the XML manually and add the attribute

<Texture name="$parentTexture"...

And then in your LUA functions SetTexture will work like this

MyCoolAddonFormTexture1Texture:SetTexture(sTex);

Where colors represent:
Form
Frame created to hold texture
Name entered manually

It works for me (worked ever since the release of the beta that fixes that issue).

I don't need to edit the XML file manually.
Create new project (main form name MyAddonForm);
Add texture (named $parentTexture1)

To modify the texture in game:

MyAddonFormTexture1Texture:SetTexture("interface\\battlefieldframe\\ui-battlefield-icon")

Perhaps the nightly build (1.0.200.4) addresses that issue.
