Multiple Splash Screens?
« on: May 29, 2006, 05:18:10 pm »
Is there any possible way to get multiple splash screens to display randomly during start up, if so how is it done (I wish to alternate between the three versions start up screens and I have already fixed the sizes so they are correct). Does anyone know how to do this, if so how?


(Sorry if this is the wrong place but it doesn't seem to fit in anywhere else).

Um... why?

You'd have to change the code to randomize them, so no.

There is a way, just not in PS. You can write a little program that gives you a random number as return value. Based on that number you can then select the screen to show.
This is done by using a batch (.bat) file that runs the program, evaluates it's return value and then copies the selected screen over the one PS uses, then runs PS.
