Hi,
I'll change the announcement to as follows:

I'm working on making it use A/NSAnimation, so that it can be
standardised. NSAnimation uses a timer internally too, by the way.

Please update your working copy. I've added a ton of easing functions.

You *must* use the delegate to update/animate, unless you prefer
subclassing. Please see the test file
/trunk/test/org.actionstep.test.ASTestAnimation for an example.

You shouldn't face much difficulty, because views use movieclips
anyway. Say you want to move a window accross the screen:

animationDidAdvance:function(anim:NSAnimation):Void {
  win.setFrameOrigin(win.frameOrigin().translate(
    foo.currentValue() * dx + sx, 0));
  // force update
  win.displayIfNeeded();
}

Hi Ray,

It seems that your modification is causing some troubles with almost all
visual components, now they appear with a black square on the top of

[actionstep-core] Animating views

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi all,

I'm in the process of animating views and I was looking at NSAnimation and
NSAnimationCurve

I also noticed the in ASAnimatedTabView the animation process is done with a
timer without resorting to NSAnimation

Also there is only one NSAnimationCurve available and the constructor of
this class is private (from which I deduce that the class needs to be
augented with other curves types or subclassed since NSAnimation requires an
instance of NSAnimationCurve and cannot use ASDraw functions that returns an
easing equation)

Also I noticed the NSanimation instance can have a delegate, what would I
typically use it for ?

It would really help me if someone would comment on the best way to go about
animating views.

Thnaks in advance

Thomas

[actionstep-core] [minor] ASDraw changes

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
I ensured that usage of the variable DEFAULT_THICKNESS when lineStyle
is used. This is because sometimes the thickness was 1 or undefined
when drawing fills, the outline of which should not have any
thickness.

[actionstep-core] NSMovieView

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

I've made some significant changes (and improvements) to NSMovieView
yesterday and today. I know that some of you were using it, but I
think that it should still work well (if not better). If you have any
problems, just let me know.

Yes, it does.

Yeah, you can absolutely do something like this. In fact, you may
notice that the first argument for most delegate methods is the
"sender", which is the object that is requesting the delegated
behaviour. Just do equality testing on that and have it behave
appropriately.

[actionstep-core] MVC

[Ewan M. <mr...@mr...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to program my application using MVC pattern as described  
in Cocoa Fundamentals.

"The delegate object itself is typically, but not necessarily, an  
object, often a custom object,
that controls some part of the application (that is, a coordinating  
controller object)."
CocoaFundamentals p148.

Great so my thoughts so far I can either initialize my view objects  
with their controller e.g.
var myView = (new MyView).initWithController((new MyController).init());
or as the text above suggests I can set it as a delegate and  
implement an informal protocol between the controller and view e.g.
var myView = (new MyView()).init();
myView.setDelegate((new MyController).init));

 From the actionstep source code there are three different ways to  
implement setDelegate in your Delegator

It can be notified (see ASFieldEditor.as)
It can be called directly and the delegate check to see that it  
conforms to informal protocol(see ASTreeView.as)
It can be called directly but not checked to see if it responds to  
calls (see NSImage.as , when is m_delegate used?)

You can create an interface if you want (ASFieldEditingProtocol.as)
The naming strategy is either append Protocol or Delegate.

Does this sound about right?

So say I've got 10 small simple views shall I just bundle all my  
control code in one or two Controllers and set either as delegate for  
all the view?
There doesn't seem much point spreading all the control code around  
by having parallel Views and Controllers. (i.e. one controller for  
each view).

Cheers,

Ewan

Re: [actionstep-core] Rotation

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

I was thinking it should be possible to set a center point and compute the
new x and y based on the rotation angle, new x, new y , old x, old y

without having to resort to a container clip

like if you rotate a square by 90=B0 and want its rotation point to be its
center you rotate it and then have to add half its width to its x position
you then get the desired behaviour

I thought there was a formula to have it work with any angle and any
rotation point

I'll keep on looking for this but if someone knows what I mean and have it
handy ... :)

maybe its basic stuff but trigonometry and I have to schedule a meeting

Re: [actionstep-core] Rotation

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

the good old method

I thought about somethin more complex where the new center was computed but
this is way better :)

thanks

Re: [actionstep-core] Rotation

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
maybe you can attach it to another clip.

Say you have a box w by h, which is originally at (x,y). You want the
centre of rotation to be at (xc,yc). So, attach it to a clip:

daddy_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("kid_mc", daddy_mc.getNextHigestDepth());
daddy_mc._x = x-xc;
daddy_mc._y = y-yc;
kid_mc._x = xc;
kid_mc._y = xc;

Since the absolute coordinates of the attached clip takes into account
the coordinates of the parent clip, kid clip appears at the point (x,
y) but has rotation centre (xc, yc).

To do this in ActionStep your movieclip heirarchy should look like this:

mcBounds
|- holder
|- daddy_mc
|- kid_mc

Re: [actionstep-core] ASsymbolImageRep enhancement

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

It shouldn't matter which clip you pass to repSizeForClip, since the
size is not affected by the clip it is attached to. It's a different
story for co-ordinates, though.

Re: [actionstep-core] Rotation

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

by the way is there a method (im not that good with maths ...) to shift the
rotation center ? I know there probably is out there but already  built in
actionstep ?

Re: [actionstep-core] ASsymbolImageRep enhancement

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi

I was using repSizeForClip().

and you're right about _root, I figured it out later.

It leaves me with my question :

how do I get the size of the symbol before the draw cycle ?

because for instance I think If I want to use NSImage.setImageAlignment()
and that I don't set a size for the image (and I want the image to the size
of the symbol) it won't work (since the size() yields widht=undefined and
height=undefined)

I resort to calling repSizeForClip passing the view mcBounds as the base
clip like :

var size_mc:MovieClip = win.rootView
().mcBounds().createEmptyMovieClip("__SIZE_MC__",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
var symbolSize = rep.repSizeForClip(size_mc);
size_mc.removeMovieClip();

I also thought about passing the current view to the rep ...

Re: [actionstep-core] ASsymbolImageRep enhancement

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

It's an interesting idea, but there is a problem. You are relying on
_root to attach the symbol. The symbols may not necessarily be there
(they could be under a loadMovie'd clip).

Ray is correct in suggesting repSizeForClip().

Hi,
sorry about that, my mistake. You *have* to use repSizeForClip.

What's the problem exactly? Do you have a size with null values, or a
size with zero values?

You could have done this:

m_size = NSSize.ZeroSize;

This would have saved you the trouble of creating and destroying a
dummy clip to set the size.
