Hi All,

I'm working with the Philips Dynalite Prontoscript module and I'm trying to make a few small changes to buttons.
I don't think that what I'm trying to do is very strange but I'm really struggling with it.

The buttons in the Dynalite module have a very short bit of script on them which in my case reads

Preset(99,12);

I simply want to add a page jump to this.

I have searched this forum but still cannot find the correct way of doing what I want to do.

I currently have a hidden page with a button that contains the page jump and I'm attempting to use the following;

Preset(99,12);
CF.widget("jumpskygym", "Hidden", "dynAct").scheduleActions();

With this setup the page jump works but the Preset doesn't.

Anyone have a clue what's going on here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Click on Actions (on the button of course), unclick the prontoscript icon to the far right.

Add a jump action to wherever you want.

Reclick the prontoscrpt icon and add:

this.scheduleActions(); after the line you posted.

Voila.

EDIT: if the preset doesn't work maybe the jump executes to fast. Add some simple delay:

Preset(xx,xx);
System.delay(300);
this.scheduleActions();

Thanks for the help but I'm afraid this is doing the same thing.
The page jumps but the preset doesn't send.

I've tried using delays up to 1000ms but it doesn't help.

Any more ideas?

Not sure. Can you post what the function Preset() does, i mean the entire funcion, then we can solve out why is it not executed as it should be.

The line

Preset(99,12);

is likely putting something onto a queue to be executed later based on the way Philips generally writes modules.

Immediately after executing the line above, you are then scheduling your jump. What the scheduleActions implies is if there are any user-actions (actions executing from an actionlist from a user button press), execute the widget after those actions complete. However, Widget.scheduleActions does not wait on things to complete that may have been queued via scripting and may have been scheduled for later using Activity.scheduleAfter(). In this case, you have to fully understand what the module is doing to know how to act accordingly.

What you need to figure out is how to put something onto the queue such that when it is processed, you receive a notification of completion so you can do the jump following this. Maybe you could modify the Philips code such that the task queue has the capability to execute a widget. For example, you could add a function that queued a widget and might look like:

ScheduleJump(widget).

Or use a less robust approach and one that is less reliable due to queue timings, etc... Have a look at doing time-delayed schedule of 2 seconds (2000ms) using Activity.scheduleAfter:

CF.activity().scheduleAfter(2000, function(w){w.scheduleActions();},CF.widget("jumpskygym", "Hidden", "dynAct"));
