    yeah, in the end it's not bad at all
  • h
    this might be a strange one
  • h
    but basically would it be possible to add an outline to a label?
  • h
    to the text I mean
  • h
    I have a white label that sometimes goes over some white stuff and you can't read it, maybe I could put a background behind it?
  • h
    but I think the outline solution would be best
  • b
    i guess it could be text style, but it doesnt exist at the moment... is that something thats easy to do in flixel?
  • h
    let me check real quick
  • h
    alright so I'm pretty sure I've never done it before 😅
  • h
    I guess I'll just keep it like this for the time being
  • b
    fair enough, well, if you work it out in flixel, lemme know, maybe we can add it as a style
  • h
    I'll see, it's not much important at the moment

    @User I'm having some trouble using a dropdownmenu in haxeui-flixel. Here's the basic starter code. The dropdown menus don't activate when clicked. The hitbox's seem to be off. Any idea why? Here's the class I'm using:
    Copy code
    haxe
package client;

import haxe.ui.containers.HBox;

@:xml('
<hbox style="padding:5px;">
    <dropdown text="Select Item">
        <data>
            <item text="Item 1" />
            <item text="Item 2" />
            <item text="Item 3" />
            <item text="Item 4" />
            <item text="Item 5" />
            <item text="Item 6" />
            <item text="Item 7" />
            <item text="Item 8" />
            <item text="Item 9" />
        </data>
    </dropdown>

    <dropdown text="Select Date" type="date" />
</hbox>')
class TestComponent extends HBox
{
    public function new(x:Int, y:Int)
    {
        super();
        // this.left = x;
        // this.top = y;
        this.updateHitbox();
    }
}

    Here's a screenshot of the resulting hitbox:

    weird... ill have to take a look at it tomorrow at some point... dropdowns were working fine for me last i checked
  • d
    great thank you 🙂
  • b
    just did a really quick test and seemed fine, any chance you can knock up and zip a test project so i can see whats going on tomorrow?

  • b
    date selector is screwy, but thats a separate (styling i think) issue
  • d
    @User here's the isolated project: https://www.dropbox.com/t/jjDuboOp7lt2fwrY
  • b
    yup something is defo different with yours
  • b
    ok, so the issue (well, not issue, but difference) is that you set the w/h of the game, if i set them to the defaults (0) then everything is fine... so basically, it seems that flixel does some scaling /moving and haxeui completely ignores it... ill take a look, any pointers would be useful...
  • b
    @User
  • b
    ok, that should all be working now, you can also use x/y rather than having to use top/left... there is something really strange happening when you use the @:xml metadata though... really dont understand it, but looking at it
  • b
    tbf, i rarely use the xml meta data, so its probably something dumb, but my understand was that it would hit the same code as if you use @:build or ComponentMacros... maybe not
  • b
    (you'll need git haxeui-flixel)
  • b
    oh... and the text looks shitty when scaled... but dunno if thats a flixel thing, had a quick play and couldnt really work out a way to make that better
  • b
    @User - ive added outline filters to haxeui css:
  • b
    Copy code
    html
    <style>
    #outlineText1 {
        filter: outline;
        color: white;
    }
    
    #outlineText2 {
        filter: outline(#880000);
        color: red;
    }
    
    #outlineText3 {
        filter: outline(#000088, 3);
        color: blue;
        font-size: 20px;
    }
    </style>
    
    <vbox>
        <label id="outlineText1" text="Outline 1" />
        <label id="outlineText2" text="Outline 2" />
        <label id="outlineText3" text="Outline 3" />
        <label text="Outline 4" style="filter: outline(black, 2);color: yellow;font-size: 20px;" />
    </vbox>
