Haxe #haxe-ui

... On a separate, "maybe this issue can be worked around" note, what is the sort of canonical way to do - purely in HaxeUI - opening a sub-dialog and giving it focus, then returning to the initial ui surface? I did search my own name but didn't see me asking this question. I thought I had but I'm not finding it and apologize if I'm wrong there. What I know is that the current model of swapping to an FlxSubstate will crash, consistently. So the question is if HaxeUI has its own model that could be used in place of an FlxSubstate for such things, basically.

@quick-king-64105 you’re right I was thinking of the previous. I’ll look into the earlier two and review my notes for your later issue

MSGhero, I'm hoping within a few weeks to return to these projects. Obligatory "that would be great" notion here.

If you don't, it's not life ending. I'm not going to be angry or anything. Bummed out, more like.

Actually, @bright-gpu-74537 did you Travis the backends and also the flixel one? When I check out those issues I’ll also bring flixel up to whatever level you need it at wrt core

that's why I always do anything pipeline related on a separate branch that get's squashed into a single commit before merging

Hi Ian, nice work on the website ! The content feels a bit "crushed" by the light blue columns, I would test with collapsible white margin/padding on the sides, or replace the light blue by pure white to make the page lighter on the eye. Is there a repo for the website yet ?

Idk seeing like 15 Travis commits when I open GitHub is hilarious

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I could have sworn ScrollView allowed arbitrary XY placement of components

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:06 PM

something like this?

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:06 PM

Copy code

xml
    <scrollview width="300" height="300">
        <absolute width="500" height="500">
           <button left="20" top="20" text="Button 1" />
           <button left="200" top="200" text="Button 2" />
        </absolute>
    </scrollview>

you shouldnt need to specify the absolute size, but i think there is a bug somewhere as if i dont i get this:

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:08 PM

looks like its clipping the scrollbars size even if there isnt one (looking at it now)

Well no, not the issue I'm getting

the second component, the button, isn't moving despite me setting X and Y values

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:12 PM

the default content of scrollview is a "Box"

limited-advantage-32748

08/21/2019, 8:12 PM

Copy code

var pal_dropdown:DropDown;
    var pal_contextbutton:Button;
    function palette_tab() {
        palette_box = new ScrollView();
        palette_box.text = "Palette";
        main_tab.addComponent(palette_box);
        
        pal_dropdown = new DropDown();
        pal_dropdown.dataSource = pal_datasource;
        palette_box.addComponent(pal_dropdown);
        pal_dropdown.selectedIndex = 0;
        pal_dropdown.text = "Palette";
        pal_dropdown.width = 150;
        pal_dropdown.dropdownHeight = 200;
        
        pal_contextbutton = new Button();
        palette_box.addComponent(pal_contextbutton);
        pal_contextbutton.text = "Context";
        pal_contextbutton.y = 0;
        pal_contextbutton.x = 160;
    }

08/21/2019, 8:12 PM

which doesnt use x/y values (it ignores them)

limited-advantage-32748

08/21/2019, 8:12 PM

Ah, hmm

limited-advantage-32748

08/21/2019, 8:13 PM

So should I then fill it with sub boxes containing the actual components I need?

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:13 PM

so you can create an absolute inside that box if you want... what might be nice is ""

limited-advantage-32748

08/21/2019, 8:13 PM

Alrighty, thanks

bright-gpu-74537

08/21/2019, 8:15 PM

np - i think layout="..." might be nice anyway... i mean, you can always create a grid / hbox /vbox / absolute /etc inside the default content Box... but a layout attr / prop sounds like it could be nice too
