Embedded mimic does not work

[oley]

Hi,

all the images are part of the faceplate file.
I have a channel with switch state 0, 1, 2, 3 and images for every state:

<Conditions isArray="true">
        <Item>
          <ComparisonOper1>Equal</ComparisonOper1>
          <ComparisonArg1>0</ComparisonArg1>
          <LogicalOper>None</LogicalOper>
          <ComparisonOper2>LessThan</ComparisonOper2>
          <ComparisonArg2>0</ComparisonArg2>
          <ImageName>active_el04_0.png</ImageName>
        </Item>
        <Item>
          <ComparisonOper1>Equal</ComparisonOper1>
          <ComparisonArg1>1</ComparisonArg1>
          <LogicalOper>None</LogicalOper>
          <ComparisonOper2>LessThan</ComparisonOper2>
          <ComparisonArg2>0</ComparisonArg2>
          <ImageName>active_el04_1.png</ImageName>
        </Item>
        <Item>
          <ComparisonOper1>Equal</ComparisonOper1>
          <ComparisonArg1>2</ComparisonArg1>
          <LogicalOper>None</LogicalOper>
          <ComparisonOper2>LessThan</ComparisonOper2>
          <ComparisonArg2>0</ComparisonArg2>
          <ImageName>active_el04_2.png</ImageName>
        </Item>
        <Item>
          <ComparisonOper1>Equal</ComparisonOper1>
          <ComparisonArg1>3</ComparisonArg1>
          <LogicalOper>None</LogicalOper>
          <ComparisonOper2>LessThan</ComparisonOper2>
          <ComparisonArg2>0</ComparisonArg2>
          <ImageName>active_el04_3.png</ImageName>
        </Item>
      </Conditions>

Every <Picture> has input channel defined (and for some of them also output).
If I copy the faceplate into standalone mimic diagram it works well.
If the faceplate is embedded in another mimic the pictures shows only default image.

@manjey73 provide an example for binding properties for a simple text, but my case is a bit more complex.

The image does not have properties that can be passed a value so that the image can be changed according to the condition. I don’t remember if it’s possible to specify the control channel directly in the Picture.
But you can change the file name property of the image inside the faceplate using the component script or facplate.
I haven’t gotten to the continuation of how to do this yet 🙂

If I copy the faceplate into standalone mimic diagram it works well.
If the faceplate is embedded in another mimic the pictures shows only default image.

As a recap:
– Mimic A,
– Mimic B is inserted into Mimic A using the Frame component,
– Faceplate works well when it is on Mimic A, but has issues when it is on Mimic B.

Is the above correct?

Faceplate as embedded component in a mimic does not work (because I do not now how to bind properties properly for pictures).
If I create a mimic with the exact content of the faceplate (multiple pictures), it works.
