Starting "number" for selections?
Kevin Mullins:
Have you tried selecting 00 and 01 to see if it starts the same song?
I noticed this happening when I was last playing with building a skin for my project.
(three digit selections starting at 100)
Either 100 or 101 would start the same song, the first song.
In other words .... if 01 is listed on your skin as the first song, then it wouldn't matter that the software can also recognizes 00 as the first song..... nobody would even know any different because they can't see a 00 selection if it's not on the skin to choose from.
Of course I'm just guessing. It may not help you at all.
This was something I came across when fiddling with my arrangement.
JustMichael:
'00' and '01' select the correct songs (song displayed is played).

This is not what's actually happening. You were using an album skin, and 100 is the code to play all the songs on the disc, up to the available credits. If you only had 1 credit in, it would give the appearance that 100 and 101 played the same song.

Aha..... I did not realize it had the option to play the entire album like that. As I had only been punching a number and just stopping it shortly after the songs started while trying to figure out the numbering sequence ordeal.
Thanks for the heads up.

Well, I need to put in an option to display the numbering on the labels. The problem is that each individual label doesn't know what address it's at, only which song it's holding. CD labels know what track they're on but not what disc. So I think when I get to work on it again, I'm going to explicitly assign an address to each label and when a selection is made, offer that selection ID to each of the GUI objects and let the appropriate object respond with the song code. That way you can either let addresses be assigned automatically or specify the starting address individually for each grid, and since each grid can contan as little as one strip, you can effectively assign any address to any strip. Then I don't have to worry about trying to support a variety of numbering schemes. Of course, I'll have to check for collisions and to make sure the entry method parameters support the addresses. (This will also help me support jukes where I and Q are skipped, or where 10, 11, and 12 are individual buttons.)
