Wish I could help, but that's above my pay grade, lol. Kinda why I don't make skins anymore, it just gets to complicated to quick anymore.
Maybe Djdad will come through and take a look

The above code makes no sense, as these lines really confuses me ..
<pos x="962" y="3037"/> ????
<pos x="958" y="3044"/>???
Please post some parts of your bpm file, in order to understand what you need to do.
Do you need to swap (toggle) 2 panels in the same position ?

Sorry dad,yes this is a experiment...wanted to be a surprise but...O.k. I'm using the "get cpu" (works!) and "get Rotation" as special effects on my Alien head Logo (see new video in my "Preview of Rmx 4 deck skin Alien ...." i just posted.anyways been doing this without posting "Help" request and doing fine until i got the idea of toggling between the 2 commands,as for the down positions and such...what i do is experiment with that until i get an effect,so far got the image behind the Alien head to fade in & out which is what i wanted by using "get cpu" & transparent, had first done it with "get Rotation" where the Alien head spins around (ha,ha Lmfao) but I'll code that some other way.just need to know...its there a way to toggle between 2 commands,and can we then place the "Button" over the Image being affected...Follow? (again check my video...the new Alien Head is on the "Options" pannel which just had the "vinyl Selectors" and and unusefull info in the middle where now its the Alien.....soooo its the "button pannel & "action" scripting that i cant find an example of to learn from,just thought "should be possible?"...

I know zip about skinning, but if it is a script action you need use
shift
toggle 'alien_head'
this will toggle between 'alien_head' 1 & 'alien_head' 0, so in your action you need to make the button toggle and then use the variable to tell it what to do when pressed
toggle 'alien_head' & var ''alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "my_panel_2" on : skin_panel "my_panel_1" on
if you want three you can use "cycle"
cycle 'alien_head' 3 & var 'alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "my_panel_2" on : var 'alien_head' 2 ? skin_panel "my_panel_3" on : skin_panel "my_panel_1" on
shift
toggle 'alien_head'
this will toggle between 'alien_head' 1 & 'alien_head' 0, so in your action you need to make the button toggle and then use the variable to tell it what to do when pressed
toggle 'alien_head' & var ''alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "my_panel_2" on : skin_panel "my_panel_1" on
if you want three you can use "cycle"
cycle 'alien_head' 3 & var 'alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "my_panel_2" on : var 'alien_head' 2 ? skin_panel "my_panel_3" on : skin_panel "my_panel_1" on

Hey! allright...not sure but....im mean the two video pannel's SETTINGS on the option and source parrameters.but you might have something there,like Tittle them "Alien 1" & "Alien 2" and toggle between them as if they where pannels.does this make any sense? and if so...how do i scrip that? thanks for your help...

'alien_head' is the name of the shift, 'alien 1', 'alien 2', is the name of the panel
toggle 'alien_head' & var ''alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "alien 2" on : skin_panel "alien 1" on
:)
toggle 'alien_head' & var ''alien_head' 1 ? skin_panel "alien 2" on : skin_panel "alien 1" on

also...I'm talking about a skin button we click on the skin,in this case anywhere in the alienhead area to change its behaviour...we're making this Alien spooky guys....I wanted it to wabble slowly as if a dream like image but could figure how to make a clipmask pattern do that.

if your making a panel button, just map the same thing twice for each button... I understand the panel is the button :)
If your using photoshop have you tried grouping the whole alien head copy paste into a new document, then use a blur effect, copy and paste new the image to a new document and blur it the same amount again, repeat... that should make it progressive so you get a frame by frame animation, then paste it all back to the original skin file, (you should only have to go from clean to blurred as you can repeat the images for half so you get good morphing of the image)
It should work because phantom managed to recreate the pioneer cdj screen on ghost osd really well using this method, I was considering using this for a future touchscreen skin where it has a 3d atom thing going around.
Let me know if you do that I think it would look great

maybe just cut out the toggle bit and have each panel swap to the other..
button on panel 1 - skin_panel 'alien 2' on
button on panel 2 - skin_panel 'alien 1' on
and this how the other scipt should read
toggle 'alien_fx' & var 'alien_fx' 1 ? skin_panel 'alien 1'on : skin_panel 'alien 2' on
button on panel 1 - skin_panel 'alien 2' on
button on panel 2 - skin_panel 'alien 1' on
and this how the other scipt should read
toggle 'alien_fx' & var 'alien_fx' 1 ? skin_panel 'alien 1'on : skin_panel 'alien 2' on

O.k. on what existing pannel we put the first part? button on pannel 1 & button on pannel 2 part?...this getting error everywhere! ...ha,ha sorry huh...but we got the toggle part in there so far...still its not seperating the 2 effects..I'llbe darn if i dont hack this thing!!!

you know? i think you've giving me an idea!cant separate the 2 buttons effects but we can separate the options pannel's top and bottom vinyl selector buttons=option pannel (cut its size in half) AND ALIEN EFFECTS 1 & 2 Pannels (2 new ones on top!) thanks Shyntet1c....that all...

Well I've tried various things and the toggle script is'nt working.not that big of a deal thought I have the various effects i made on the Alien Head (talking about this....
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/145625/VirtualDJ_Skins/preview__Rmx_4_Deck_mod_2011.html )
on other copies of the skin but would od liked it on one skin..toggleable....anyways now I know this was talked about in another thread but...the Djc parameter for effects dont work on 4 deck mode,correct? so...do i use another code on decks 3 & 4? or on all 4 decks? will this allow to have 12 slots per deck? might be a dumb question but I'm been busy building custom Guitars as well so...can anyone specify?...thanks
