NEED TO GO FROM HOME SCREEN TO SPRINGBOARD

Hi -

I'm a newbie with SDK and am trying to do eliminate the category leaf hierarchy and go directly from top level categories on home screen to springboard screen but can't figure out how to do it. Its similar to the old Netflix interface where you click on a movie and the next screen is springboard where you can play the movie.

When I select one of the top level categories, I want to jump right to the springboard screen for that selected category. Currently it jumps from top level category to another poster screen with filter banner. Then I select the same category and it finally gets to the springboard screen. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

    In showHomeScreen(), try replacing the call to displayCategoryPosterScreen(kid) with displayshowDetailScreen(kid, 0).

    You will need to modify displayshowDetailScreen() slightly, as it is no longer called in the context of the poster screeen....


    Function displayShowDetailScreen(category as Object, showIndex as Integer) As Integer

        if validateParam(category, "roAssociativeArray", "displayShowDetailScreen") = false return -1

        shows = getShowsForCategoryItem(category, showIndex)
        screen = preShowDetailScreen(category.Title, category.kids[showIndex].Title)
        showIndex = showDetailScreen(screen, shows, showIndex)

        return showIndex
    End Function
