Skill Question: Film Records

archive

Let's say I want to delete all my artwork (films) and use Skill to recreate them from scratch. I see axlDeleteObject can be used to delete the films (or so the documentation says...), but how does one go about getting the DBID of a film record?

Creating the new artwork looks easy enough, it's deleting the existing ones that look problematic. I'm tring to avoid going the 'macro' route.


Thanks,

Doug

  • If deleting top film
    p = axlGetParam('artwork:TOP")
    axlDeleteObject(p)

    List of all films
    lfilms = axlGetParm("artwork")
    lfilms->groupMembers

    Boy, that's not in the documentation!

    Thanks for the help.

  • When I crafted a function to do this, one subtlty I ran into was the discovery that you can't delete ALL the film records at one time - Allegro seems to require at least one film record always be present. Solution? - create a dummy film record then delete all "real" film records.
