Shared Media?

[suicidalkatt]

So I'm sure some of you are familiar with tidy plates, and I'm not sure exactly how I'd go about incorporating shared media into my theme's for it.

Just to try to make things simplified, this:

config.healthbar = {
texture = texture.."CP_BarTexture",
width = 120,
height = 10,
x = 0,
y = 5,
anchor = "CENTER",
orientation = "HORIZONTAL",
}

is a tabled value that is plugged into tidy plates to create a theme.

Now my problem is, if I put a saved variable link directly into that:

texture = CP.db.profile.BarTexture,

I get a db = nil value since my saved variables haven't loaded yet.

How would I go about fixing this problem?

* I am still fairly new to the programming atmosphere, ace libs in particular *

Well, saved variables don't have anything to do with Ace libraries. You're just trying to reference your saved variable before the game has loaded it. See here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Events_that_f...iables_loading

So how would I go about setting the table to something and then having it set again with the saved variable after it's been loaded?

Here's the HOW-TO on wowwiki that has a good example.
