just figured this one out while working this morning

this will turn cellwalls into something you can turn on/off at will...

ex... default.xip/default.xap

search for "shell" and you'll see...

CODE

shell Transform

simply change this to read...

CODE

shell DEF theMainMenuShell Transform

or whatever you wanna call it. now that you have defined it as an object you can tell it what to do

to turn it off use...

CODE

theMainMenuShell.SetAlpha(0);

and obviously SetAlpha(1); to turn it back on.
you would have to do this for all the shells in all the xaps in default.xip - but once done your cellwalls now have a switch

should come in handy for you skinners

so this means that you can turn it on or off from the menu now? , this should be good to put in the final.

Not yet ! but you can easily edit the right xap by changin' value "1" to "0" to turn off cellwall in corresponding menu... its easier than Messiah's post

To turn it off directly from menu by pressing a button, i think ya need to insert more than that in the corresponding xap file (attribute action to a button...
but for this & for final release questions, the right person might be JbOne (but i think he's quite busy

i'm not @home this w/e, but chili give a try by placing this "control" line at the beginning of your xap(s) so you can easily turn it off/on w/o searching the line

Thats a lot of xaps to edit

i edited all the shell Transform on all the xaps on default.xip

i placed theMainMenuShell.SetAlpha(0); on top of all the xaps , boom i get error 21

you forgot to say where to put the theMainMenuShell.SetAlpha(0);

well lets bump it again, the thing is we are not all as proficient as some at editing code,xips,xaps and christ know what else.
the info that was first supplied, is very helpful, but the thing is the first bit is totally fucking useless without knowing where to put the 2nd bit

looks like we'll never know....................................
