I know i am a little late responding to this lol but the reason i was asking is cause i am learning everything bit by bit from scratch... i want to disbale everything through the code and start with say a chat frame texture... then bind the chat frame and all the functions and postion of graphics and what not that have the functions say the buttons to scroll up down bla bla bla where i want them to match the graphic
.
Once i learn that move onto the next thing say the Unit Frames, then action bars then the minimap, tradeskill windows, then onto creating my own add-ons to make everything 100% mine.
I know wow uses xml mainly for the frames/textures and uses the lua for the functions of each graphic in the xml and binda the two together... I believe i just need a crash cours in lua and xml from start to finish on both and then have at it.
Just hard to find free sources on the net that go from start to finish. Most tuts and stuff that i found jumble alot and jump around alot so when your looking at the code your like "wait" that did what? lol.
Anyway i had alot of coffee and typing a book so will leave this alone for now
