Hi im needing help.

are you able to have more than one background for a skin so that as you progress to a new page the background changes with it?

If so how is it done and what would the coding be?

help would be very much appreciated i've already tried putting iamges in seperate folders withing the background fold each having an individual config.xml

If youve figured somethin out then please let us know. As Background changes is one thing that was not included into the game.

Ive Got Something working so that with each new load ofthe game that a new background is showed but no rolling backgrounds yet

Better than nothing i guess. I really doubt that you will be able to get rolling background chages. But keep it up trying to see if you can, as you will be very much thanked by everyone if you do work out a code to get it to work.

just wondering would this work

If you open the 'global panels.xml' file within a skin or the default one then you will see the small bit of code that adds the background picture near the top.

There is also a way to 'hide' items in certain screens. If you look in the same file further down then you will see 'sections' being hidden at screen number 2 (the intro screen).

By using this statement and changing the "mode=" around to either 1 or 0 (I cannot remember which - swap whatever is there) then you can make it so it only APPEARS on a certain screen.

So, if you add several more 'backgrounds' pointing to different picture files then use the hide/show statement within them with differing screen numbers...

If so is there anyway I can have the numbering for each screen in FM just a small request.
