Swapping Bg images with a xml button.

Samsan · 05-21-09, 06:37 AM

Hey, I'm trying to us a normal button in xml to swap an image in a frame. It just doesn't do anything OnClick. Any ideas please?

snippets:

XML Options Panel

Code:

         <Button name="AquaBgButton" toplevel="true" enableMouse="true" text="Aqua Skin">
            <Size>
              <AbsDimension x="130" y="35" />
            </Size>
            <Anchors>
              <Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
                <Offset>
                  <AbsDimension x="19" y="-55" />
                </Offset>
              </Anchor>
            </Anchors>
            <Scripts>
              <OnLoad>
                self:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonUp", "RightButtonUp");
              </OnLoad>
              <OnClick>
                DWMPackBaseFrame_OnClick(self);
              </OnClick>
            </Scripts>
            <NormalTexture file="interface\glues\common\glue-panel-button-up-blue">
              <TexCoords left="0" right="0.625" top="0" bottom="0.6875" />
            </NormalTexture>
            <PushedTexture file="interface\glues\common\glue-panel-button-down-blue">
              <TexCoords left="0" right="0.625" top="0" bottom="0.6875" />
            </PushedTexture>
            <DisabledTexture file="Interface\Buttons\UI-Panel-Button-Disabled">
              <TexCoords left="0" right="0.625" top="0" bottom="0.6875" />
            </DisabledTexture>
            <HighlightTexture file="interface\glues\common\glue-panel-button-highlight-blue" alphaMode="ADD">
              <TexCoords left="0" right="0.625" top="0" bottom="0.6875" />
            </HighlightTexture>
            <ButtonText name="$parentText">
              <FontHeight>
                <AbsValue val="10" />
              </FontHeight>
            </ButtonText>
            <NormalFont style="GameFontNormal" />
            <HighlightFont style="GameFontHighlight" />
            <DisabledFont style="GameFontDisable" />
            <PushedTextOffset x="0" y="0" />
          </Button>

Lua Base

Code:

local textureName, DWMBgTexture1, DWMBgTexture2, DWMBgTexture3, DWMBgTexture4, DWMBgTexture5, DWMBgTexture6;

function DWMPackBaseFrame_OnClick(self)

    if ( AquaBgButton == "LeftButton" ) then
        DWMBgTexture1:SetTexture(Texture1, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S1");
        DWMBgTexture2:SetTexture(Texture2, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S2");
        DWMBgTexture3:SetTexture(Texture3, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S3");
        DWMBgTexture4:SetTexture(Texture4, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S4");
        DWMBgTexture5:SetTexture(Texture5, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S5");
        DWMBgTexture6:SetTexture(Texture6, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S6");
    end
end

Xml BaseFrame

Code:

     <Frame name="DWMBgTexture2" id="2">
        <Size>
          <AbsDimension x="256" y="256" />
        </Size>
        <Anchors>
          <Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
            <Offset>
              <AbsDimension x="256" y="0" />
            </Offset>
          </Anchor>
        </Anchors>
        <Layers>
          <Layer>
            <Texture name="$parentTexture2" setAllPoints="true" file="interface\AddOns\DWMPack\Backs\DWM-Base-Bg-TopMid">
              <TexCoords left="0" right="1" top="0" bottom="1" />
            </Texture>
          </Layer>
        </Layers>
      </Frame>

I stopped working with XML a while ago so I'm a bit rusty. I believe your problem is that you're not making the correct references.

Code:

    if ( AquaBgButton == "LeftButton" ) then
        DWMBgTexture1:SetTexture(Texture1, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S1");
        DWMBgTexture2:SetTexture(Texture2, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S2");
        DWMBgTexture3:SetTexture(Texture3, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S3");
        DWMBgTexture4:SetTexture(Texture4, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S4");
        DWMBgTexture5:SetTexture(Texture5, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S5");
        DWMBgTexture6:SetTexture(Texture6, "Interface\\AddOns\\DWMPack\\Skins\\Aqua-Panel_S6");
    end

Try changing this to

Code:

DWMBgTexture1Texture1:("blah blah blah")

Your texture name is actually "DWMBgTexture1Texture1" as $parent automatically adds the parent's name in from of whatever name you select.

Hope that makes sense. I just woke up and head not unfoggy yet.

Thx so much...I was attempting to run it in the lua not the xml and once I out it in the xml it worked fine....

I feel like a noob in the deep end...lol... That was bugging me for weeks and there's not a lot out there answers wise that I could find.
