[Dynapi-Help] Giving DynObjects an alias name

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

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if you think it would be a good idea to
add an alias agrument to the addChild() method? 

exmaple:

instead of doing this:

layer1.canvas = layer1.addChild(new DynLayer());
layer1.canvas.cover = layer1.canvas.addChild(new
DynLayer());

we could do this:

layer1.addChild(new DynLayer(),"canvas");
layer1.canvas.addChild(new DynLayer,"cover");

It's much simpler to use and adds a better structure
to the code.

To simply access the cover layer we could do this:

layer1.canvas.cover.setBgColor('#ffcc00');

More complex widget structures could work as follows:

mywidget.addChild(new Button(),"btnUp");
mywidget.addChild(new Button(),"btnDown");
mywidget.addChild(new Button(),"btnClose");
mywidget.addChild(new ScrollBar(),"hscBar");
mywidget.addChild(new ScrollBar(),"vscBar");

mywidget.btnUp.setCaption("up");

What do you think?
