Animation

FireEvent

Triggers (or "fires") an event, there are different types of events (see RCOXML Structure). The most used inside animations are "native events" and "animation events" itself

By triggering an animation event from inside an animation... both animations are played consecutivelly. Also is posible to reload the animation by triggering itself to create an infinite animation loop

Lock

Disables XMB. Note in Talk:Custom_render_plugin how anim_coldboot, anim_coldboot2, anim_gameboot, and anim_otherboot animations starts by locking the XMB to dont interfere

• In latest firmwares (where is used coldboot.raf animation) if XMB is not locked + having a dynamic theme applyed the PS3 crashes. Is because inside dynamic themes the background is a .raf animation. Is not posible to play 2 .raf animations together overlapped (from coldboot.raf and from inside a dynamic theme)

Unlock

Enables XMB. Note in Talk:Custom_render_plugin how anim_gameboot, and anim_otherboot animations doesnt unlocks XMB at the ending because when the animation is completed a game/app boots (doesnt returns to XMB)
