DataPlayer Skins (legacy)

Modifying and Creating DataPlayer Skins/Components (Legacy)

DataPlayer is no longer being developed.  To use, you must enable Settings > Advanced > Show legacy features.  

Skins are a way of changing the look and feel of the Flash .SWF files produced by DataPlayer. Using skins, all of the elements within the DataPlayer .SWF file can be changed to fit a corporate look and feel, adapt to touch/kiosk screens of various sizes, etc. By selecting different skins, it is possible to change colours and most other aspects of the elements within any DataPlayer. Knowledgeable developers may wish to create their own. If you are interested in creating new skins and components for DataPlayers, please contact us.

The process for adding new and modified skins to your Omniscope DataPlayer project files is documented in the DataPlayer View section of the User Guide.

Requirements for creating new skins

  • Knowledge of Adobe/Macromedia Flash
  • Adobe/Macromedia Flash (version 6 or better .SWF files)
  • Omniscope Professional or Enterprise Edition
  • DataPlayer skins template (download)

DataPlayer Flash Skin Template Files

The Omniscope DataPlayer skins template file is a Flash .FLA file that is opened using the Adobe/Macromedia Flash application. The stage is blank, since this file is just a store of components that is used by the DataPlayer View .SWF creation part of Omniscope. In order to see these components, open up the Library by going to the Window menu and choosing Library. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-L.

In the Library are a number of folders named after different parts of the application. In each folder are all the elements required to alter the look and feel of the DataPlayers produced by Omniscope.

Descriptions of the elements required to make each of the components can be found on the links below:

 

  • Slider
  • Tooltip
  • Details button
