PHP Code:

<control type="textbox">
            <visible>Control.IsVisible(52) + Container.Content(tvshows)</visible>
            <animation effect="fade" time="200" delay="200">Focus</animation>
            <posx>30</posx>
            <posy>330</posy>
            <width>360</width>
            <height>195</height>
            <align>left</align>
            <info>ListItem.Plot</info>
            <font>Font_TVShow</font>
            <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
            
        </control> 


I'm getting the skinning game down but animations are my Achilles heel...I can't get even that simple fade, or any other animations, to show up when the control is outside <itemlayout> and <foucuslayout>.

Thx for any replies...

A textbox is not focusable.

I meant to put this in: Just in general, be it an image, textbox or label I can't get animations to work outside <itemlayout> and <foucuslayout>.

None of those are focusable, so an animation using Focus as it's trigger isn't going to do anything

Try using VisibleChange or a conditional trigger instead.
