[Xerte] Constraining freehand

[Dave Burnett]

Good idea.
My objects are a little close together to get perfect fidelity, but it works well enough.

Cheers Julian, have a good weekend!

Dirty as anything but you need to check the length of draw.shapes.length //greater than 0 and you have drawing Make a border round the draws, and listen for events on that.When the mouse leaves the area (rolls over the border), do your check, light up the buttons?Something equally creative? Otherwise you need an event broadcasting from the DRW class, which I can do, but how? Everytime a shape gets drawn broadcast ‘shapeDrawn’ or something?

I have 2 addDraws on screen to draw stuff into.

Need to know when something has been drawn into both so I can enable a "Next" button.

It's weird.
As soon as I define the icon I'm adding the addDraw to as an event target (Press. Release, rollover, whatever, the draw function fails. From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Constraining freehandIf you mask the draw, then even if drawing continues out of sight, it isn’t ugly. Does that work?  From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

OK, how about targeting an addDraw.


I want to catch the onRelease event, but when I add the target icon (the one addDraw is appending to), the drawing function itself stops working, though I do get the event when I release the mouse.

Wonder why it is blocking the draw?
