Container in container

zap · Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:02 pm

Hi I find out some problems positioning skin elements correctly when a container is within a container.
The elements aren't positioned correctly when switching from normal to fullscreen view.
These container could be useful to hide e.g. a multiple menuparts of a menu.

Is this a known bug or are there any workarounds possible.

Cheers

Hi Zap
I have just tried making a ggsk file with elements in containers within a container and found all was ok.
Can you describe what you have built and what you are getting?
Kind regards

Hi Hopki
I'll post a skin
but in the meanwhile you could try to place an element with anchor centered and center the element

When in the container and going afterwards fullscreen, the position is lost and not centered but absolute (or the like)

cheers

i have the same problems... i have spent roughly 15 hours trying to do a very simple a basic skin.

I am using a rectangle 1920 long (so that HD users can see my skin) as a container/parent item. The scene pictures are placed within that rectangle as a navigation, yet i cannot get the scenes to fit on screen in the centre, same with text....

Hi
I have tried all sorts and can not get the same result?

I placed a container in the skin, size 420 x 220 and anchored centre.
Then placed two rectangles one above the other in the centre.

Both rectangles are anchored top left. When I open the pano the two rectangles are in the centre where they should be. When going full screen they are still in the middle.

Changing the anchor position to centre on the rectangles does make them move off centre, but that’s to be expected. They are also in the same position when going full screen, off centre.

However if I anchor the container top left, then yes it moves the rectangles, and yes they move even more when going full screen, but again that’s to be expected as now its position is relative to the side of the pano.

Please post your skin or an example as I can not reproduce the fault.

Kind regards
Hopki
