Well, guys, I have two questions... First of all, I am just learning the
"intuition" side of assembly programming. I have a program that moves a
palette to a custom screen. The part in question looks like this:
movea.l #KolePalette,a2 ;beginning of palette
palloop
movea.l (GraphicsPtr),a6 ;*graphics.library in a6
movea.l (KSViewPort),a0 ;*viewport in a0
move.b (a2),d0
cmp.b #$ff,d0 ;If $ff then end-of-palette
beq endpal
move.b (a2)+,d0
move.b (a2)+,d1 ;Move colors
move.b (a2)+,d2
move.b (a2)+,d3
jsr (_LVOSetRGB4,a6)
bra palloop
endpal
***********
* Palette *
************************
* COL R G B *

KolePalette
dc.b $00,$0b,$09,$07 ;Color 0
dc.b $01,$00,$00,$00 ;Color 1
dc.b $02,$0e,$0e,$0e ;Color 2
dc.b $03,$00,$09,$0d ;Color 3
dc.b $04,$0e,$0e,$00 ;Color 4
dc.b $05,$0e,$00,$00 ;Color 5
dc.b $06,$0f,$0f,$0f ;Color 6
dc.b $07,$0e,$0e,$0e ;Color 7
dc.b $08,$0c,$0c,$0c ;Color 8
dc.b $09,$0b,$0b,$0b ;Color 9
dc.b $0a,$0a,$0a,$0a ;Color 10
dc.b $0b,$09,$09,$09 ;Color 11
dc.b $0c,$08,$08,$08 ;Color 12
dc.b $0d,$06,$06,$06 ;Color 13
dc.b $0e,$05,$05,$05 ;Color 14
dc.b $0f,$04,$04,$04 ;Color 15
dc.b $ff ;End of Table
even
Now, the problem is after the palette is there. All of the colors move.
Sometimes the background color remains that of my workbench. Sometimes it is
right, but when I move the screen it changes to the workbench background.
It's always JUST the background. This is driving me nuts. I hope it's
something really stupid.
And for the second question...
I have this:
movea.l (KWPtr),a0 ;Pointer to window's user
movea.l (wd_UserPort,a0),a0 ; port goes in a0
move.b (MP_SIGBIT,a0),d1 ;window's signal bits
moveq.l #1,d0 ;Convert bit number in mask
lsl.l d1,d0 ; and place result in d0
SYSCALL Wait ;Wait for closegadget
And I'm waiting for a MENUPICK. This is the only thing I am waiting for, not
a closegadget. It used to be a closegadget. Anyhow, what do I do next? All
of the RKM examples on this are in C, and I am having a difficult time with
this one. CAn someone maybe mail me an example of how to figure out what
menuitem was chosen, etc? MAybe mail me an example (in assembly, please)...
Thanks, any help is appreciateed, etc...

Once the Wait call returns you have to call GetMsg() untill it returns a NULL and process each of these messages. -- *** John Veldthuis, NZAmigaUG. johnv@tower.actrix.gen.nz ***

After I dragged my handy debugger out and took a look at what was happening, d2 and d3 had trash in them. After I zero'd them, everything was fine. I then changed the whole thing to 1 call, LoadRGB4(). >> move.b (MP_SIGBIT,a0),d1 ;window's signal bits >> moveq.l #1,d0 ;Convert bit number in mask >> lsl.l d1,d0 ; and place result in d0 >> SYSCALL Wait ;Wait for closegadget >> >> >> And I'm waiting for a MENUPICK.
