Re: [Dynapi-Dev] BorderManager & Highlighter UPDATED - (files attached)

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

message too long.. so response here
:-)

Borders:----------
.setBorder(thickness,color)
would need to overwrite addchild, addeventlistener, sethtml, setbgcolor,
setsize.. any others?

I honestly think this should be the default method of adding borders.
As is uses less layer, and no images.
It is also the most simple.
With this, you would need a getInnerWidth, to get he width of the content
layer
The border method previously release should be
setBorderAdvanced() and should mopst likly use a dictionary object
I.E. setBoderAdvanced({leftwidth:2,leftcolor:red})
this allows you to set as many or few borders as you want, and set their
parameters induvidually.

DynLayer Arguments:----------
I kinda like it as it is.. I can concide adding one more for bgimage
for more params, I'm thinking the dictionary object..
Or even a library extension if you really want more than 6 native arguments
