Issue w/ overlay buttons that have same name as "under&

[de3pc77]

Hopefully someone can help me out...

I am using a Firefly remote for control of my own skin (which is close to being finished). If you are familiar with the Firefly you know that there are 4 buttons (A/B/C/D), at the bottom. I use these buttons to control most functions in my skin, so each screen and overlay has a button named A, B, C, D with events appropriate to the screen. I use XReceive to send button select A/B/C/D commands from the firefly to XL when A/B/C/D is pressed on the remote.

My issue us that when I show an overlay, pressing the A button on the remote activates the A button on the main screen as well as on the overlay.

Is there a way to force only the button on the overlay to be activated?

I have already tried "show overlay new layer" also. The only other solution I can think of is to turn each overlay into a "goto screen" command, but would rather not.

thanks

I have FireFly and I had the same problem. The thing is in XLobby, it always controls the screen, not the overlay. In order to get the functionality for overays, I think you must use XRemote plugin

Triples on Xremote

Mind you, I dont't use XRemote plugin, but I got the impression when I tried it that it slows down the system a bit (but enough that human can notice )

So, if u have fast PC, then I suppose it doesn't matter.... but if you have a budget PC, then it could make a defference.

Thanks for the replies, I tried XRemote out briefly, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. The default action is always taken, even though I defined actions for other screens. I also noticed that when I exported a txt file and then reimported the same file (without changing it), only the default actions loaded.

I will spend more time with this plugin later this week, but maybe someone has a quick tip on what I am doing wrong.

Thanks again
