[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.

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).

[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

Since this has been resolved, I've allowed NSCell to track events in
modal sessions again (rev 2709).

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.
