* Issue #459 - fixed listbox selection background fading/colour setting

This layout with 2.4.1 version:

Code: [Select]

fe.load_module("animate");

local flx = fe.layout.width;
local fly = fe.layout.height;
local flw = fe.layout.width;
local flh = fe.layout.height;

my_time <- 600;
my_delay <- 3500;

// Listbox
::OBJECTS <- {lbx = fe.add_listbox(flx*0.76, fly*0.33, flw*0.20, flh*0.64)}
OBJECTS.lbx.rows = 21;
OBJECTS.lbx.charsize = 24;
OBJECTS.lbx.align = Align.Left;
OBJECTS.lbx.bg_alpha = 0;
OBJECTS.lbx.set_rgb(255,255,255);
OBJECTS.lbx.selbg_alpha = 0;
OBJECTS.lbx.set_sel_rgb(255,0,0);
OBJECTS.lbx.sel_alpha = 255;

local move_lbx3 = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "alpha", start = 0, end = 255, time = 1} 
local move_lbx4 = {when = When.ToNewSelection, property = "alpha", start = 255, end = 0, time = my_time, delay = my_delay} 
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, move_lbx3));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, move_lbx4));

Has this result:

I do not see that the bug has been fixed.


EDIT:

Oomek has given me this solution in "Bug Reports":

"The previous behaviour of the Animate module was most likely caused by a loophole/bug in Attract Mode. If you need to animate all 4 alpha properties of the ListBox object I suggest you to do it as follows:"

Code: [Select]

fe.load_module("animate")

local flx = fe.layout.width
local fly = fe.layout.height
local flw = fe.layout.width
local flh = fe.layout.height

my_time <- 600
my_delay <- 1000

// Listbox
::OBJECTS <- {lbx = fe.add_listbox(flx*0.76, fly*0.33, flw*0.20, flh*0.64)}
OBJECTS.lbx.rows = 21
OBJECTS.lbx.charsize = 24
OBJECTS.lbx.align = Align.Left

OBJECTS.lbx.alpha = 255
OBJECTS.lbx.set_rgb(255,255,255)

OBJECTS.lbx.bg_alpha = 255
OBJECTS.lbx.set_bg_rgb(50,50,50)

OBJECTS.lbx.set_sel_rgb(255,0,0)
OBJECTS.lbx.sel_alpha = 255

OBJECTS.lbx.set_selbg_rgb(100,100,100)
OBJECTS.lbx.selbg_alpha = 255


local fadein_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "alpha", start = 255, end = 255, time = 1}
local fadein_bg_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "bg_alpha", start = 255, end = 255, time = 1}
local fadein_sel_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "sel_alpha", start = 255, end = 255, time = 1}
local fadein_selbg_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "selbg_alpha", start = 255, end = 255, time = 1}

local fadeout_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "alpha", start = 255, end = 0, time = my_time, delay = my_delay}
local fadeout_bg_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "bg_alpha", start = 255, end = 0, time = my_time, delay = my_delay}
local fadeout_sel_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "sel_alpha", start = 255, end = 0, time = my_time, delay = my_delay}
local fadeout_selbg_alpha_lbx = {when = Transition.ToNewSelection, property = "selbg_alpha", start = 255, end = 0, time = my_time, delay = my_delay}

animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadein_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadein_bg_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadein_sel_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadein_selbg_alpha_lbx));

animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadeout_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadeout_bg_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadeout_sel_alpha_lbx));
animation.add(PropertyAnimation(OBJECTS.lbx, fadeout_selbg_alpha_lbx));

Awesome!  Thank you, can't wait to try it out!

I find some issue of loop playing music. If I write loop = true, then the music play once and then quit AM. I am using windows 10 [10.0.17134.228]. Please fix. Thankls.


local mysong = fe.add_sound("music-1.mp3");
mysong.playing = true;
mysong.loop = true;

Can I ask a basic question?  To update from 2.4 to 2.4.1, can I just replace the 2.4 .exe in my folder with the 2.4.1 .exe, or do all the files and folders need to be replaced? 

[jedione]

corect me if im wrong but i would say, you just need to replace the main .exe
because nothing in the new file strutcher has changed with the update,
only AM internal bug fix's,

Updated setting of hwaccel in FFmpeg.

This fixes hardware video acceleration on my setup (Windows). Previously had to use software because some of my videos showed only garbage. Good work, thanks a lot for this!

Find as error code in 2.4.x version, there is no error in 2.3. I am using windows 10
