LeftMouseUpAction Question

[xenium]

How can I do this?

LeftMouseUpAction = [! ShowMeter "image1"] [! HideMeter "image2"]
LeftMouseUpAction again = [! ShowMeter "image2"] [! HideMeter "image1"]

Thanks

LeftMouseUpAction again = [! ShowMeter "image2"] [! HideMeter "image1"]

One way can be:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction = [!ToggleMeter "image1"] [!ToggleMeter "image2"]

And put Hidden=0 on image1 and Hidden=1 on image2.

But if something changes the hidden state, you might have some issue. So place your Hide.show carefully in other places of the code.

You can use the !ToggleMeter bang, so:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!ToggleMeter "image1"][!ToggleMeter "image2"]

For sure kyriakos876's and ikarus1969's replies are good enough and toggling the images is a solution, but as usual, there are others, too. Here is my approach:
Add a variable (let's name it ImageVis) to the [Variables] section of your skin:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
ImageVis=0

The value of this variable determines which image is visible at a given moment, through the following Calc measure. Add it:

Code: Select all

[MeasureVisibility]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#ImageVis#
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!ShowMeter "image1"][!HideMeter "image2"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowMeter "image2"][!HideMeter "image1"]
DynamicVariables=1

With this approach you can toggle the images setting the value of the ImageVis variable. Replace the LeftMouseUpAction option of the meter with this: LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable ImageVis "(1-#ImageVis#)"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureVisibility"].
You have to do one more thing: add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the meter which has the above LeftMouseUpAction (unless not already added). This is important, because if you don't add this option, one single toggle will be made.
Maybe this approach sound a bit more complicated than that posted before, but it has an advantage: if needed, the toggle can be made, beside the meter, from other meters / measures, too.
