Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynDocument Plugin?

[Brandon M. <bnd...@ho...>]

DynAPI is very dependent on the DynDocument.js file.

DynAPI is the absolute core of DynAPI 2. It is the single place where
globally accessed things can be stored. Unassigned layers, DynDocument
lists, API options, inclusion routines, etc.
DynAPI.dyndoc  <- This has become common practice to retrieve the default
DynDocument object. Besides, 99.9% of the apps use the API for layers. And
this object is required to use layers.

I have solved a basic problem of, what if I want to use other objects
developed for DynAPI, use the DynAPI object, but not use any layering...
(Which I have done). I simply placed this in the loadHandler of the DynAPI
object.

So.. if these changes where made, I feel that DynDocument could become an
"Optional" object when not needed.

from:
      DynAPI.document.findDimensions()
      if (DynAPI.findLayers) DynAPI.findLayers(DynAPI.document)
      if (DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents)
DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents()
      DynAPI.loaded=false;
      if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent)
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('beforeload')
      if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent) DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('load')
      if (DynAPI.onLoad) DynAPI.onLoad()
      for (var i=0;i<DynAPI.plugins.length; i++) if
(DynAPI.plugins[i].onLoad) DynAPI.plugins[i].onLoad()
      DynAPI.loaded=true
      if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent)
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('afterload')
      if (DynAPI.loaderStart) DynAPI.loaderStart()
to:
        DynAPI.loaded=false;
        if (typeof DynDocument!='undefined') {
          DynAPI.document.findDimensions()
          if (DynAPI.findLayers) DynAPI.findLayers(DynAPI.document)
          if (DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents)
DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents()
          if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent)
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('beforeload')
          if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent)
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('load')
        }
        if (DynAPI.onLoad) DynAPI.onLoad()
        for (var i=0;i<DynAPI.plugins.length; i++) if
(DynAPI.plugins[i].onLoad) DynAPI.plugins[i].onLoad()
        DynAPI.loaded=true
        if (DynAPI.loaderStart) DynAPI.loaderStart()
        if (typeof DynDocument!='undefined') {
          if (DynAPI.document.invokeEvent)
DynAPI.document.invokeEvent('afterload')
        }
