[actionstep-core] accessing objects loaded using asml reader

[Joseph G. <ga...@au...>]

Hello,
   I have been successful in loading a simple asml layout in an
ActionStep app. I would now like to be able to access the objects after
they have been loaded in order to hide certain objects depending upon
external parameters. I haven't been able to figure out how to access the
elements that have been loaded by the ASAsmlReader. My current attempt
is as follows:

   app = NSApplication.sharedApplication();
   var reader:ASAsmlReader = (new
   ASAsmlReader()).initWithUrl("classes/simplelayout.xml");
           var objects:NSDictionary =
reader.asmlFile().idToObjectDictionary();

   if(has_param) {
       NSButton(objects.objectForKey("btn_three")).setHidden(true);
       NSButton(objects.objectForKey("btn_four")).setHidden(true);
   }

   app.run();


I am using the id's that I assigned to the buttons in the asml as the
keys. The objectForKey method doesn't seem to be getting the correct
object. What should I do in order to access the objects?

Thanks,
Joe Gay
