Actually, you know what Rich, this raises an interesting issue. Should all initWith methods be overridden in subclasses? Like in some cases, there can be quite a few, and they may not directly apply to the subclass. -----Original Message----- From: act...@li...

Yeah, the ActionStep.as file is really just a test main class that we =20= are using. I experiment with it and change stuff as I am building =20 new controls. I was testing moving views back and forth, which is =20 why there are two views to begin with. Best, Rich On May 14, 2005, at 2:38 AM, Ray Chuan wrote: > Hi, > I have a suggestion to make.

Hi, NSBox.initWithFrame returns an instance of itself: return this this should thus be an instance of NSBox, not NSView, as specified in the function signature. |

Hi, I have a suggestion to make. The current org.actionstep.ActionStep will make a swf with 2 views, but only 1 view is used at first. So, hide the second view: //... view1 =3D (new ASTestView()).initWithFrame(new NSRect(0,0,250,500)); view2 =3D (new ASTestView()).initWithFrame(new NSRect(0,0,250,500)); view2.setHidden(true); //... Now there isn't 2 grey boxes. |

Last night I made a bunch of updates. The first version of NSMatrix is in there (it can render, but not do much else), as well as basic versions of NSForm and NSFormCell. Once NSFormCell can draw itself, NSForm should work. /Scott |

Hi list, just wanted to say that I'm so excited about this project and that I've got great expectations. I've been browsing the OpenStep AppKit and it's quite a huge piece of software. I really think this could be the definitive framework... I hope to see new messages as working versions are uploaded so we can test it and see how it works. Cheers! -- -------------------------- http://www.joangarnet.com/ http://www.subflash.com/ -------------------------- |

Subject: [actionstep-core] NSRect methods...
All,
We have many Classes that are basically there to represent what in =20
Objective-C are defined as C structs. NSRect is one of those. They =20
also have many global functions (in C) to manipulate those. I am =20
therefore implementing those global functions a NSRect instance =20
functions in our NSRect class. I think this makes sense going =20
forward where we have global C functions we just implement them on =20
the appropriate ActionStep class.
For example the global function NSIsEmptyRect(*rect) is implemented =20
as a function on NSRect:
class class org.actionstep.NSRect extends NSObject {
...
public function isEmptyRect():Boolean {
return (size.width =3D=3D 0) && (size.height =3D=3D 0);
}
}
So then you can do:
var myRect:NSRect =3D new NSRect(0,0,0,0);
TRACE(myRect.isEmptyRect());
=3D> true
Anyway, just a pattern to follow...

Just wanted to let you guys know I made some big changes last night. It's looking like I should have NSMatrix rendering pretty soon in a decent state. Then we'll have all sorts of new goodies to show off. But there's some tough logic in there, and many opportunities to make mistakes that could seriously affect performance, so I'm being really careful. I've implemented about 85% of the methods, but I still haven't written any drawing code. I'm referring to the GnuStep code when I have questions that need answering. Man is Objective-C weird looking. :) I also made some updates to NSArray, making it kind of a hybrid of NSArray and NSMutableArray (didn't see any need for both). NSColor has also been updated, to include some methods for creating from RGBA values. ASEventLoop now generates modifierFlags that are much more complete. However, you guys should take a look, because I don't even know what some of those keys are. Like that NSAlphaKeyMask or something...wtf is that? Is the NSFunctionKeyMask ORed in when ANY function key other than F1 is pressed? Maybe you could fill this in Rich. /Scott -----Original Message----- From: act...@li...
