Re: [Dynapi-Help] IOElement, get Data

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Sounds cool. I'll take you up on the offer.

PS. Currently I'm involve in some projects that are
taking up time. I could drop some of them and spend
some but the thing is that they help to pay the bills.
What if I where to startup a paid or donated support
system on my site, will anyone be interesting? This
way I'll be able to spend more time, improving and
supporting the project to the fullest. Anyone agrees?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] IOElement, get Data

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Hi,

It's a long long time since I've touch DynAPI. I'm
trying to get a few things stabilized but until
then...

To see the ioelement in action goto
www.xwisdomhtml.com

You would also have to setup some event handling and
stuff.

PS there are a lot of emails to respond to but this
will take some time.


Thanks to all who continues to support the project and
update the files. As for Safari I don't know what to
do since Mac OS X is very expensive. Maybe one day
I'll be able to test mac osx

[Dynapi-Help] IOElement, get Data

[Oliver K. (M. A. <ok...@to...>]

Hi there,

im desperately trying to get loaded data from an IOElement:

hidden_io = new IOElement(true);
hidden_io.get("demos/glob_demo.xml.html");

<a href="javascript:alert(hidden_io.getData() )">see data</a>

Derived from the dynapi.util.ioelement.html it should work like this.
What i need is a possiblity to get the read data from the hidden layer. 
Something like getData() in the above written href.

Version is 3.0.0, (version.xml)

I struggeled to the sources and api docu of IOElement, but did not 
found the buffer or the method, where the loaded data is stored or 
retrived. The Datafile is plain text, no javascript.

Can someone help ?

By the way, the IOElement examples failes on OSX/Safari, OSX/Firefox 
works.
(f.e. dynapi.library-load.html , the debugger window tells "loaded 
dynapi.library-file1.js" but the messagebox tells "undefined" as 
content.

regards.oliver

[Dynapi-Help] MAC OSX available VNC.

[Michael H. <mi...@m2...>]

Good Idea ... I have a Mac available via VNS. If anybody wants to take a 
look I will send connection info. Its hosted on a T1 outside our firewall.

The VNC client for windows can be downloaded here:
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html

THE PROBLEM:

Mac Safari does not drag in some cases:

Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Seb <se...@sy...>]

Here is the stuff:  Notice the 1st couple of lines of the javascript 
file, the 2 methods of centering...  The 1st, manually centering, works, 
but only if it's donw after onload in IE, which breaks the bordermanager 
for some reason.. (doesn't draw borders..)  The 2nd, using anchors, 
works nicely in firefox, but not in IE..

Also notice how i have to tag some formating onto the onload since it 
doesn't want to work before then.  I am sure I can make it all work by 
putting more stuff in onload, but surely there's a more elegant way that 
it's supposed to be done?

Course that problem wouldn't be a problem for me if i found a nice way 
to resize the window in question and remove all the toolbars and whatnot 
(as in the last function on the bottom) Or a way to close the main 
window automaticly heh.. which firefox refuses to do, at least..  (But 
that' a different story)

I'll look into the VNC thing and let you know.

Drag layer doesn't work all of the time in Surfari.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

I think people have had mixed results with attachments.  Even if it
makes it through the list software, some people's clients and virus
scanners strip or disable them.  Thanks to Microsoft, we've had to give
up the so-called "innovation" of email-attachments out of fear of
viruses.  ;-)

VNC can be slow.  It usually helps at no more than 1024x768, 16-bit
colors, but 8-bit colors are faster.  It has been usable for me on cable
to cable with as little as 128k on each end, while 256k was much better.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Seb <se...@sy...>]

I've checked the lists a while, problem being that they jump back 
various versions pretty quickly.. not many posts regarding the dynapi 3 
for instance...  I'll fix up the code to remove privacy concerns and 
send it off here, what's the policy on attachments? Better yet i'll just 
up it to a server somewhere..  Not now though cause this vnc is 
hellishly slowish.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Hi,

Well, about the first issue, it's a bug that popped up in Mozilla 1.4
(about 15 months ago) that the Mozilla group seems to ignore?  The topic
has been discussed on the list and should be in the archives.  Search
for the error message and you'll find it.  The error can be reproduced
with very simple HTML code and has nothing to do with the API.  It's an
annoying error, but I don't remember it interferring with anything.

http://www.mail-archive.com/dyn...@li.../

http://www.mail-archive.com/dyn...@li.../msg05665.html

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208427

I can't speak to the cross-browser or widget interaction stuff off-hand
without investigating further.  A bit of example code is sometimes
helpful, with notes in comments about what you've been trying, so others
can reproduce the results and make suggestions.

I'm not aware of any other site with full documentation.  The
documentation provided is as much as I've seen, though it is incomplete.
It looks nice, but some gaps need to be filled in.  The mailing list
archives for dynapi-help and dynapi-dev may be good resources.  Some of
the examples are pretty good, but could probably be expanded as well.

[Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

[Seb <se...@sy...>]

Hello list.
   First off, thanks for making this nice product.  Once I figured out 
how to use it (mostly) it's great.

I'm using the DynAPI 3 beta 1 from CVS.

Couple of things.. first, and this may just be some bug or I am doing 
something wrong... if I put any text input form elements on a page, 
Firefox gives me this error in the javascript console:

Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property 
HTMLDivElement.parentNode' when calling method: 
[nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e 
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

Seems DynAPI appends on mouse events to these text input fields, even if 
they aren't added using DynAPI... and firefox doesn't like what they are 
trying to do?  IE doesn't give any errors... but I haven't looked at any 
console output from IE... not sure if there is one..

Second,  some cross browser stuff seems off.. for instance, trying to 
center a layer on a page, using anchors - it centers right in firefox 
(using the 2 centerH,V anchor methods) but in IE it centers horizontally 
then centers vertically at origin 0, instead of at the middle of the 
page.  So that doesn't work..  I also tried using half of 
DynAPI.document.getWidth(); minus half of the width of the element to 
center it (same with vertical) but IE chokes on that if it's done before 
onLoad (firefox works fine here) but if I do it after or during onload, 
the bordermanager stops drawing borders... !

What's the proper way to center a layer on a page in a cross-browser 
compatible way? (that wont break other functionality)

Also is there a site out there with nice documentation of the API, or 
proper tutorials?

Thanks,
Seb

Re: [Dynapi-Help] please help me with the scroll speed of the horizontal scroll label

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Ohh!  Sorry to hear that.  :-(

What exactly is the problem you are experiencing and what have you tried
to do to locate or fix the problem in the DynAPI?

I'd test on a Mac, but I have no access to one.  To see and fix the
problem, a developer needs access to a Mac and the browser in question,
either in person or over the net using something like VNC.  Can you or
do you know anyone who can provide such access over the network, with a
VNC server on a Mac with OSX?  There seems to be a project for VNC
running on Mac OSX, and I remember mentioning this on this list before,
but never got a response.  Of course, the details of address, username
and password should be transmitted off list.  :-)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

Flash is indeed quite a powerful tool when used appropriately.  Such a
conversion from JS to Flash can be quite an undertaking.  :-\

Hi!

Well, it's cool that you got it to work.  Can you tell me which examples
you were looking at?  If they were in the DynAPI CVS, then which
examples' events didn't work and which docs did you look at hoping to
find answers?  I think the threads were for multiple paths running
simultaneously, where you referenced each path by a thread.  The docs
and examples for threads are very thin to nonexistent in my copy of the
CVS.  The "on" prefix is required for events, though I remember asking
such a question when I was learning how to use events.  I don't see this
documented clearly ("on" prefix, or the pathanim or slideanim objects
and events in Quick Ref).  The examples with threadfinish were perhaps
written when the slideTo code resided in the Thread object.  The
changelog in CVS indicates that they were moved to a separate file, and
thus presumably have their own event names.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] please help me with the scroll speed of the horizontal scroll label

[Michael H. <mi...@m2...>]

Sorry... I'm just sore because of a bug in dynapi using Mac Safari.

Our client insists it works on all browsers and platforms.
I'm on the list because It will take us several hundred hours to convert 
our dynapi
application to flash and I'm hoping I will see a fix someday.

Dynapi works awesome on the PC I wish we could keep using it.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] please help me with the scroll speed of the horizontal scroll label

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Such negative comments are not constructive and help noone, so please
keep them to yourself.  :-)  DynAPI is still in use on quite a few large
commercial sites and numerous smaller sites (don't take my word: use
Google), so it is obviously still useful.  JavaScript is still useful.
I try to help where I can.  If you've decided DynAPI or JavaScript is
dead, then why not move on?  Why still on the list?  ;-)

RE: [Dynapi-Help] slideTo events

[David A. <dap...@fi...>]

Hi,
Well I managed to get it to work, I didn't find the help in the docs or
on the website, in fact in the examples the events didn't work on some ,
I found on another site. I am using dynAPI 3, IE 6 and firefox. I found
that to trap an event I have to put "on" in front of it, examples I saw
said I had to trap threadfinish but when I digged into the code it was
pathfinish here is some code I used. 

var listener = {};

	listener.onpathrun = function(e) {
		var o = e.getSource();
		status = "play "+o.x+" "+o.y;
	}
 

	listener.onpathfinish = function(e) {
		var o = e.getSource();
		status = "stop "+o.x+" "+o.y;;
		slider.Bounce(slider.bounceInc);
	}
this.lyr.addEventListener(listener);

At the least, state which version of the DynAPI you are using, which
browser and version, and a description of what you are trying to do, and
preferably some examples of code that you have tried.  If you are using
the old DynAPI 2, would it be possible to switch to DynAPI 3?  If you
are starting a new project, then I'd suggest DynAPI 3.  If you are
modifying an existing project, I'd suggest staying with that, unless
it's possible to rewrite all the JavaScript.

I forget the slideTo and event capturing, but I can probably relearn and
explain in DynAPI 3.

At the least, state which version of the DynAPI you are using, which

Dead?  Maybe I am in denial, but dead seems so... final.  I think of it
optimistically as a lul, perhaps the worst.  Many seem to think it's
dead.  Maybe it is.  A few might argue the point.  In any case, I still
have CVS access, and do submit bugfixes which don't appear to break
anything.  I have no access to the rest of the site, nor time to devote
to learning the code and submitting new ideas.  However, I think it is
still preferable for some people to have an option other than shelling
out money for expensive Flash design tools.  A simple text editor, and a
web browser are all you need for JavaScript.  Therefore theoretically,
DynAPI will not be dead until no browsers support JavaScript and DOM
anymore.

Was the question forgotten by accident?

At the least, state which version of the DynAPI you are using, which
browser and version, and a description of what you are trying to do, and
preferably some examples of code that you have tried.  If you are using
the old DynAPI 2, would it be possible to switch to DynAPI 3?  If you
