hey! it seems like i've got a problem i can't solve in the skin editor, as the title says, the problem is about the output and i've tryed for hours and still i cant solve it, the problem is in the output, theres no text, its set as visible and deafult and the id is "output". i've read Lummox JR's guide, still i didnt find any solution, either in the forums, so please help me =). the output works fine in the default skin.
Thanks.

You're totally gonna have to be more specific. To output something in a control named "output", have a line go;
|
yeah well, if i do that way, that means i have to change the source on all text there is in the source... im sure there should be a solution and how more specific could i be...? im trying to put a output in the skin editor and the output wont show any text from this for example
usr<< "this way"

Direct text output (i.e., someone << "text") goes to the output control marked as default (a parameter, which you may set through the Properties). If there is none, then it won't go anywhere.
| |
Well, that should make it work, unless you've done something wrong (one thing may be that you have more than one output marked as default).
| |
Then, unless there's a rarer problem, the recipient you've used (on the left-hand side of <<) is probably wrong. If it's indeed usr, then you're probably using usr in places where it isn't valid or correct; this is referred to as usr-abuse. To do anything more than guess however, we must see the code in question. Make sure you include the actual path of the proc the code is in. EDIT: Note that if it's indeed in a proc and not in a verb, it's probably usr-abuse, though there are a few exceptions like the mouse procs.
| |
Well, im not really sure if theres something wrong in the code since it works fine in the default skin...
| |
Then it must indeed be a problem with your skin... Try going through all the windows and checking the outputs there. If all else fails, delete all the output(s), then create a new one and mark it as default, then try. I'm not an expert with the interface, so I might be missing something important, but I don't think there could be a complex problem here.
