Hi,

Is there a way to make a slideshow out of multiple single images ? It seems such a basic thing to do but I haven't found a "not ugly as hell" solution to this problem.

Example:
Let's say I have 3 skin strings containing an image path, now I want to have a slideshow showing these 3 images. As far as I understand it, "multiimage control" won't work because it needs a local image path or a container item for ListItem.Icon but I'm thinking of something like this :

Code:

<control type="multiimage">
  .....
  <texture>$INFO[Skin.String(Image1)]</texture>
  <texture>$INFO[Skin.String(Image2)]</texture>
  <texture>$INFO[Skin.String(Image3)]</texture>
  .....
</control>

Is there anything in place to do something like this ?

Code:

<control type="fadelabel" id="4324">
        <pauseatend>7500</pauseatend>
        <width>10000</width>
        <height>118</height>
        <font>font20</font>
        <textcolor>00FFFFFF</textcolor>
        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Image1)]</label>
        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Image2)]</label>
        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Image3)]</label>
        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Image4)]</label>
        <label>$INFO[Skin.String(Image5)]</label>
</control>

Code:

<texture>$INFO[Control.GetLabel(4324)]</texture>

That's a fancy solution, never thought about using fadelabel control for that ... that's perfect, thanks!
