Thank you for replying.
The Documentation reads:
"Let’s have a look at a brief example now:
EnableLayers()
DisplayBGPic(2)
DisplayBrush(1, #CENTER, #CENTER)
Plot(100, 100, #RED)
Print("Hello World!")
Box(50, 50, 100, 100, #BLUE)
The above code displays 4 different object types and attaches at the same time 4 layers to
the background picture number 2 because layers were enabled. Every displayed object gets
its own layer now, therefore we have the following layers now for background picture 2:
Layer id 1: Brush 1 at coordinates #CENTER : #CENTER
Layer id 2: A red pixel at 100 : 100
Layer id 3: Text "Hello World!"
Layer id 4: A blue box at 50 : 50 with dimensions 100 : 100
Now you can do everything you like with those layers, e.g. you can hide them, move them,
swap foreground priorities or remove them. Hollywood offers many functions that can
handle layers.
Please note that layer ids are dynamic. For example if the above code would now call the
command
RemoveLayer(2)
then the layer ids would be changed. After this command returns we would have the
following layers for background picture 2:
Layer id 1: Brush 1 at coordinates #CENTER : #CENTER
Layer id 2: Text "Hello World!"
Layer id 3: A blue box at 50 : 50 with dimensions 100 : 100
You see that the text "Hello World!" has now layer id 2 and the box is now at layer 3.
Starting with Hollywood 2.0, there is a new command available:
SetLayerName(). You can
use it to give your layers a unique name so you can simply address the layer through its
name a instead of its id. This is very useful if you have many layers and you do not want
to remember their ids. All functions that work with layers accept a name string in addition
to a numeric id now. Here is our example again:
Layer id 1: Brush 1 at coordinates #CENTER : #CENTER
Layer id 2: A red pixel at 100 : 100
Layer id 3: Text "Hello World!"
Layer id 4: A blue box at 50 : 50 with dimensions 100 : 100
Now we do the following:
SetLayerName(1, "brush: 1")
SetLayerName(2, "red pixel")
SetLayerName(3, "text: hello world")
SetLayerName(4, "blue box")
Now we could remove layer 2 by calling
RemoveLayer("red pixel")
We do not have to care about the fact that the layer ids have changed now because all
layers have names and so we can easily address them."
Which doesn't mention your approach at all, unless I missed something.
I followed your example and did:
Code: Select all
;ICON-SELECTOR BRUSH:
CreateBrush(2, 70, 70, {Name = "icon_selector"})
ExtendBrush(2, 2, 2, 2, 2, {Color = d_col})
But:
Code: Select all
Function p_ToolsMouseOut()
DebugPrint("Mouse Out!")
RemoveLayer("icon_selector")
EndFunction
Says there's no such layer id.
