[LE] [AS] how is an interface invoked with arguments?

[Levvine]

Hello,

 

Can someone explain to me how a menu is invoked in Skyrim with arguments?

 

I have examined the ActionScript in lockpickingmenu.swf and in the LockpickingMenu class there is a function that uses several arguments to display the player's lockpicking skill progress, as shown below:

function SetLockInfo()
   {
      this.InfoRect_mc.SkillLevelCurrent.SetText(arguments[0]);
      this.InfoRect_mc.SkillLevelNext.SetText(arguments[1]);
      this.InfoRect_mc.LevelMeterInstance.gotoAndStop("Pause");
      this.SkillMeter.SetPercent(arguments[2]);
      var _loc3_ = this.InfoRect_mc.LockLevelText;
      _loc3_.SetText("$Lock Level");
      _loc3_.SetText(_loc3_.text + ": " + arguments[3]);
      var _loc4_ = this.InfoRect_mc.NumLockpicksText;
      _loc4_.SetText("$Lockpicks Left");
      if(arguments[4] < 99)
      {
         _loc4_.SetText(_loc4_.text + ": " + arguments[4]);
      }
      else
      {
         _loc4_.SetText(_loc4_.text + ": 99+");
      }
      this.BottomBar_mc._visible = true;
   }

So the question is where does the game invoke this menu from and how does it pass arguments to ActionScript?

Interaction with the UI is done in the core game logic. We have no access to that level of the game's code.

Have a look at SKSE UI script functions, take a look at how Sky UI or UI Extensions work - depending on what exactly you need, you may find an answer there.
