Beginner Basic Help
Thank you all for your assistance... I am new to brightscript and I am having a little problem understanding some of the basics...
I wish to create an Episode screen in this fashion:
Main Menu
l
TV
l
shows
l
Episodic content
I've managed to make it to the level "Shows", but I fail to see how to make the next level "Episodic" without changing the entire hierarchy..
Any help would be most graciously appreciated.
Thanks;
Gary

Re: Beginner Basic Help
Not sure exactly what you mean by not changing the entire heirarchy. I'm assuming that each of the items main Menu, TV, shows, and episodes are separate screens that you navigate to. The episode screen would be created as an roPosterScreen with a list style of flat-episodic or flat-episodic-16x9 as follows:
posterScreen = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")
posterScreen.SetListStyle("flat-episodic")
... 'Load up poster content, etc.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
posterScreen = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")
posterScreen.SetListStyle("flat-episodic")
... 'Load up poster content, etc.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Re: Beginner Basic Help
Well.... I messed that up. LOL
It converted ALL the category leafs to "episodic"..
Perhaps if I explained better what I am hoping to achieve:
MAIN MENU: (flat category)
MUSIC TV MOVIES
MUSIC CATEGORY each genra: (arched landscape)
TV CATEGORY each genra: (i.e. Cartoons, Westerns, Comedy, etc.): (arched landscape)
*** Here you would see under "Westerns" the image of Bonanza, Lone Ranger, etc.***
***When clicked on "Bonanza" would take you to the Sub Category episode screen ***
TV SUB-CATEGORY each series (i.e. Bonanza, Lone Ranger, etc.) : (episode screen)
MOVIE CATEGORY each genra: (arched landscape)
The Music and Movie Categories are working properly... I am trying to understand how to create the TV Category and Sub-Categories.
Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide.
