Nope, lime only bundles hl.exe and libhl.dll, but not any of the hdll's.

gotcha... i wonder why no ssl

hx
if (!project.environment.exists("HL_PATH")){
  var command = #if lime "lime" #else "hxp" #end;
Log.error("You must define HL_PATH to copy HashLink dependencies, please run '" + command + " setup hl' first");
}else{                    System.copyFile(project.environment.get("HL_PATH") + '/ssl.hdll', applicationDirectory + '/ssl.hdll');
}

Seems some changes were made on lime dev, but they're obviously not ideal. I think there was some talk about it on the openfl server a while back, but there's not permanent solution yet afaik.

right, best option is probably to install hl as a seperate install and set a HL_PATH env var

ive never had any issues with HL since my first setup of it, but yeah, i downloaded a seperate archive for it... dunno if i have an HL_PATH setup

... nope

i think the hl.exe is just on my path and it gets the hdll from that location

I am

I am

At least I understand what the problem is 😛

Solution : grab hl 1.10 binaries and add them to your path. More recent versions won't work because they're 64 bit by default, and lime bundles 32 bit hl.

(If you're not windows you'll most likely have to build hl from source)

@User before we were talking about a text input component for flixel backend, seems like flixel-ui has a working one: FlxUIInputText. I tested it on windows and hashlink and it works. Testing on mobile now.

As I barely remembered but suspected, it doesn't invoke the soft keyboard in mobile targets

hmmm, yeah, i didnt get round to the textinput in the end... had other things i needed to get done... its a valid point about the soft keyboard, i wonder the best way around that... i wonder if flixel has some feature or add on or something to say "show the keyboard"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll try an openfl workaround in the meantime. Judging by this https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel-ui/issues/70 it's a problem that's been around for a while now.

couldn't it be possible to make haxeui use openfl TextField for its text input? the last answer on that issue https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel-ui/issues/70#issuecomment-217710976 seems to have got it working

the problem with using an openfl textfield in haxeui-flixel is that its would be kinda "floating" over the haxeui...

not a problem if the textfield gets obscured completely by another problem, but defo an issue if its only partially obscured

i wonder if an openfl type solution hidden behind a #ifdef makes sense

seems to be what people are doing for now, but yeah I don't like this approach either, doesn't feel clean

but at the same time seeing there is no support for text input on mobile since 2014 scares me a bit

I wonder what the missing piece is, I'd love to look into it if only I had time but I believe I would need quite a lot to start understanding everything that happens in flixel-ui and how to make it work

FlxInputText has a lot more missing pieces than just that IMO (keyboard shortcuts etc), so you're better off using an OpenFL TextField anyway

yeah, i think its probably the best idea for now... ill make it nice and pluggable so it can be ripped out / #if def'd easily

@User I'm so excited! Back to where I was when I took a break with animations working great. I notice a "fadeIn" and "fadeOut" method was added to components and got it working - it's so neat!

Why is "splash" null?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vbox id="splash" width="100%" height="100%" style="background-image: hong_kong; background-image-repeat: stretch; background-opacity: .5; " >
    <style source="Styles/ui.css" />
    <box width="100%" height="60%" />

var splash = initScr.findComponent('splash', haxe.ui.containers.VBox, true);

I am missing something here

Where is this being called from?
