[actionstep-core] List Image Support

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

I added image support to lists. They work quite well, but still leave
a little to be desired. I'm going to be beefing it up over the next
couple days.

Sorry about the long reply time,

If you set setScrollable(false), the buttons shouldn't show.

[actionstep-core] Updated website for ActionStep

[Richard K. <ri...@in...>]

Hey all,

We now have the actionstep website on a Typo blog engine:

http://www.actionstep.org/

We will be releasing more stuff and communicating through this as we  
advance the framework.

Best,

Rich

Re: [actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

You may want to figure out a release strategy and document it on your 
web site near the announcement about downloading the Alpha release. If 
the Alpha release is not a suitable test/development environment, either 
get rid of it or issue a new alpha release.


What is the plan for a beta release? Is there a list of tasks that need 
to be completed before the next release point is reached?
This would at least let us know what does not yet work and what is 
likely to change.

Ron

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMenuItemCell missing

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

You were right. I had 11 and when I installed 12 it compiled OK except 
that NSColor lost it colours so I had to go back to ASColors.

The menu now works but has moved to across the top which is probably 
where it should have been in the first place.
Much better.

Now I will move on to see what I can break next  :-)

Re: [actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

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

Hi,
I think I've found the problem. I managed to reproduce your problems *exactly*.

Apparently you are using the alpha release of ActionStep. Please
don't, since at that time the menu implementation was incomplete.

Please download the latest source using SVN from

http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/actionstep/trunk

For more details on using SVN see:

http://osflash.org/actionstep/tutorials/quick_start_guide

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMenuItemCell missing

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

Hi,
it's a problem with mtasc.

http://lists.motion-twin.com/pipermail/mtasc/2005-December/028912.html

Try updating your compiler. The latest is 1.12.

Re: [actionstep-core] scrolling tabview

[cornel <tc...@gm...>]

hi again

is there some way to hide the scroll buttons? i'm using an
ASAnimatedTabView, and they are visible in the background, while the
tab views are scrolling.

thank you.

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMenuItemCell missing

It moved. I see it now. Thanks

Now I get
C:\eclipse\workspace\...\src/org/actionstep/NSAttributedString.as:616: 
characters 2-22 : type error TextFormat have no field letterSpacing

This is new.

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMenuItemCell missing

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

http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/actionstep/trunk/src/org/actionstep/menu/

It's in there. Just hidden :)

http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/actionstep/trunk/test/src/org/actionstep/test/

And here are the test classes.

[actionstep-core] NSMenuItemCell missing

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/actionstep seems to be missing 
NSMenuItemCell.

This appears to be needed in the callback when an item is selected from 
a menu.

The test modules also seem to be missing from this repository so I can 
not see if the menu structure has changed.

that's what i'm doing right now (subclassing)

only the relationship with NSWindow was not that clear and I was tempted to
subclass NSWindow instead.

things are a little clearer now but are there cases where subclassing
NSWindow would be a better approach ?

Re: [actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

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

Hey,

I think I may have found what is causing this. Would you mind updating
from SVN and testing? If it still doesn't work, then please whip me up
the smallest test class that you can that still has these problems.
Send it over and I'll have it back to you in a jiffy.

Hope this helps,
Scott

RAY -- If you're reading this, I think this has to do with revision
2607, made on the 23rd (to NSCell).

Re: [actionstep-core] ASRootWindowView ...

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

Cocoa works differently in this regard than we do. ASRootWindowView is
our own creation.

What exactly would you like to do? It's a very flexible class, with
lots of room to override functionality in subclasses.

[actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

This is the start of a view module. I have started trying to set up the 
menus.
It displays the menu on the screen but gives me the traces below when I 
try to select something.
When I select an item it highlights in blue but will not let me select 
any other item and does not call my menuItemSelected function.

Any idea about where I am off track.

Earlier in the code,  get a lot of
NSException(   NSException:   Cannot access bounds movieclip until 
NSView is inserted into view hierarchy.,   null   )
but they do not seem to have an effect on the action that triggers them.

[actionstep-core] ASRootWindowView ...

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

Hello all,

trying to create my own windows ...

so I figured I had to subclass ASRootWindowView and initialize my windows
with initWithContentRectViewClass in NSWindow

I don't think there is an equivalent in the cocoa appkit so I couldn't find
any docs on a class that would resemble ASRootWindowView.

am I mistaken and where would I find docs on this class ?

Some details please.

Finally, some opinion on menus! Well, they are drawn with alphas, so
that might explain the "outline" thing. You can skin menus by either:

1) subclass NSMenuView and NSMenuItemCell
2) subclass ASTheme/implement ASThemeProtocol

I think there's not much improvement you can make since all the
drawing is done using code. You might want to try loading images and
use them as part of your skin, and probably add programmatic movement
(animation).

All of these sounds pretty vague, since I'm quite busy with exams
right now (typing this in between papers!) so I can't provide you with
details, as much as I would like to.

Re: [actionstep-core] actionstep documentation

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

I'd love to help. I just got back to my parents' place, and I'll be
home at my apartment tomorrow. I'll email again then.

Where are you located Ron?

[actionstep-core] actionstep documentation

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

I am starting to have a chance to spend some time working with 
Actionstep. I have an Eclipse project started and have copied the 
Actionstep source library into the project.
I also have the Actionstep distribution set up as a separate project so 
that I can reference it and try stuff on unmodified code.

I have not found any user documentation that concisely describes how to 
use Actionstep. The documentation at 
http://osflash.org/actionstep/documentation is way too "inside the 
beltway" and does not really help anyone get started.

I am trying to employ an MVC architecture and it is not clear if the 
sample applications in the Actionscript package are as cleanly designed 
as I would like. My application is pretty simple (maintaining a bunch of 
code tables) but is partially a learning exercise to see if a more 
complex application can be built.

I am currently trying to get menus to work. The ASTestMenu has some 
difficulty with "setMakeMainAndKey" undefined.

My menus show up on the screen but are pretty ugly with only partial 
outlines. I hope that I can find some documentation about how to make 
menus appear in the "right" place and look professional.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Ron

Re: [actionstep-core] [minor] NSView display and displayIfNeeded change

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

So you're saying every view walks the tree upwards until the root
(unless a hidden ancestor is found) every time displayIfNeeded is
called? I'm not sure that sounds like a good idea.
