[net.micro.amiga] DUALPF and Intuition

dave@gitpyr.gatech.EDU (David Corbin) (10/24/86)

I am using a CUSTOMSCREEN in intuition that uses a Dual Playfield. My problem
is that I cannot figure out how to access both Playfields.  I would expect,
(thought I haven't found it yet) that each Playfield would have a separate
RastPort that could be used.  I know that their are two playfields 'active',
because I can see the garbage left over in memory on the screen for the
second playfield.

Can anyone help?

   You do not mention if you are attempting to use the un-implemented
(as stated in docs) DUALPF ViewModes flag in your NewScreen structure,
or are changing a normal screen to DualPF.  

   I have just sent Jim Mackraz's Dual Playfield Screen example to
the mod.amiga.sources moderator.  Hope it helps.
