[QUOTE="gamejester, post: 261986, member: 50634"] OK, well I have found some things out so will answer some of my own questions, but feel free to correct me and fill in teh blanks :) 1) NO! and the wiki is out of date. Can anyone update it? So as I find things out do people want me to add it to the Wiki? 3) Seems just if you change a grahic. If you add a new one you do not need to clear the cache, or if you change formatting of function in an xml; but you do need to re-load MP if you change xml. 4) Clearly has something to do with the myHome.xml file which is laoded first. The Menu which is dynamically built from the controls you select in config to appear in home have an assosiated hover icon which you can specify where it appears. This must be represented as hover_my mail.png or hover_my mail.xml I am assuming they can all be either a static .png or an .xml file with animation defined. but a full published list of these would be useful, unless I just look through other peoples skins. ie, the myTVseries plugin in the Plugins section of setup is called MP-TV Series, but its hover is called hover_my tv series.png 5) i) I think I have confimed this, ALL animations will loop forever except hover ones in the menu. ii) This is not true. I was doing my testing on the myTVseries plugin screen which has issues with certain animations and states on certain pages. iii) Looks like multiimage can only be used on a page, you can not set it in a common.animation.xml for including in the texture of a button or a hover_??? button. You have to use regular animation for that. iv) NO v) still not seen anyone use them, I assume you can stick them on a globe and get it to spin, but not seen that anywhere. vi) NO vii) assumtion incorrect, myHome.xml is the first page. What is home.xml used for?? [/QUOTE]
