Can I use launch parameters without a : ??? (1 Viewer)

[Lehmden]

Hi.
I want to pass a moving pictures launch parameter from a define value. Something like
"<define>#menu3.but3linkpar:categoryid:40</define>"
where "#menu3.but3linkpar" is the name and "categoryid:40" is the value. This should be used in a menu like this:

  <define property="true">#menu3.but3label:Konzert Filme</define>
  <define property="true">#menu3.but3link:96742</define>
  <define property="true">#menu3.but3linkpar:categoryid:40</define>
  <define property="true">#menu3.but3:yes</define>
 
...
 
	  <control Style="BasicHomeSubButton">
		<description>Menu 3 button 3</description>
		<type>button</type>
		<id>233</id>
		<font>font11</font>
		<textureFocus>sub-button.png</textureFocus>
		<textureNoFocus>sub-button.png</textureNoFocus>	   
		<label>#menu3.but3label</label>
		<width>230</width>
		<height>40</height>
		<hyperlink>#menu3.but3link</hyperlink>
		<hyperlinkParameter>#menu3.but3linkpar</hyperlinkParameter>	 
		<onleft>220</onleft>
		<onright>240</onright>
		<onup>234</onup>
		<ondown>232</ondown>
		<visible>string.equals(#menu3.but3,yes)</visible>
	  </control>
...

The defines are used to control the whole menu, but as I can't get a : into a define value (will be cut off at : in example only categoryid will be passed to Moving Pictures, leading to an error) I can not use it as needed.

Is there any way I can handle this???

Try workaround the limitation it by using a string expression instead:

<define property="true">#menu3.but3linkpar:#(string.format('categoryid:{0}', '40'))</define>

I have no idea if that works but see how you go.
