    myButton.onClick is just a shortcut for "myButton.registerEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, ...)"
  • b
    you can do 
    myButton.onClick = MyStaticClass.someHandler
    if you wish
  • b
    or 
    myButton.registerEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, MyStaticClass.someHandler)
    whatever takes your fancy
  • b
    (obviously it doesnt have to be a static class, just a method in the current class will do just fine, its really up to you)
  • h
    hmmm
  • h
    now I'm wondering what the best option might be
  • b
    thats the hard part, but thats not a haxeui problem, thats a programming problem... my advice? K.I.S.S
  • h
    I would go for methods in PlayState but that doens't sound right, I feel like that code must be separated from that
  • b
    at first, add some buttons, and some handlers, make it do what you want... then refactor if it gets out of hand
  • b
    it doesnt sound like you have some type of huge UI, so my guess is it would be fine
  • h
    yeah, I was trying to keep it stupid simple with methods in the playstate, I just hope it's not too stupid
  • b
    doesnt sound too stupid to me, sounds simple
  • b
    which is good
  • h
    great great, thanks again!
  • b
    thanks for the identification of the scale issue in haxeui-flixel 😉
  • b
    ... ... ill be calling on you in a few days to test a fix 😄
  • h
    no problem at all, thanks to you for providing such an awesome piece of software and support!
  • b
    🙂
  • h
    by the way, I'm trying to affect the ui from a method in my playstate and I'm unfamiliar with 
    findComponent()
    syntax
  • h
    I'd like to be able to search for my components through their id instead of index, is that possible/efficient?
  • b
    its even more efficient with custom components 🙂 Doesnt use findComponent at all... but for your (initial) purposes, findComponent should be fine
  • h
    what should I write in "criteria"?
  • b
    if you want id, use the id
  • b
    You just need the id as the only parameter
  • h
    ok that's great ahahaha
  • h
    thanks
  • b
    these are all perfectly valid: findComponent("myId"); findComponent(Button, false); findComponent("myStyle", "css")
  • b
    but yeah, it seems you want id... which is the default behaviour basically
  • h
    so my 
    <button>
    has 
    id=btn1
    , in my function I do 
    var btn = uiView.findComponent("btn1");
  • h
    should I then be able to do 
    btn.text = "I got clicked"
    ?
