[Xerte] Get iconID of parent icon in Xerte3

[Julian Tenney]

Do mouseOver, not rollOver - that debugs .target properly for the
images.

Yeah, same thing happens in Flex directly, so not a Xerte problem...

 

..but a problem though. Maybe there's an update to the SDK to fix it...

I dunno - I get the same problem. Let me try it in Flex directly and see
what happens there...

Try debug(event.target);

 

??

 

I can't remember off hand which way round target and currentTarget are
for the event handling icon and the broadcasting icon. Try the other
one...

Just to bump this issue again. Bubbling would make my piece extremely
more simple. Any idea what's wrong?

That sounds like a fantastic idea, unfortunately I'm not sure where I
got it wrong. This is what I did:

 

Canvas

--picture1

--picture2

--picture3

--Event Handler (rollOver/debug(event.currentTarget))

 

It works so far, that the event only dispatches when I roll over one of
the three images. But the debug output is always Canvas. I would be
perfect if it would be picture1, picture2 ... What's wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

in the event handler

 

debug(event.target);

 

thats the broadcasting icon, which is what you want.

 

In the examples is there one for bubbling events? They are very cool. If
you have a page of components, then you can put an event handler on the
page itself for, say, rollOver, and then in the page's rollOver event
handler, you can get event.currentTarget for the actual icon being
rolled over (I think rollOver bubbles). That can lead to seriously
effiecient code compared to having to set up event handlers on each
icon. The help will tell you which events bubble,

I need to get the parent iconID of a EventHandler icon, but the
EventHandler icon does not seem to have the iconID property, or is it
just missing in the built, I use?

there is no icon.

 

Give an icon the property iconID, say myIconID

 

then myIconID.parent is the way to go,

 

debug(myIconID) to check you've got the right fella in there,

Can anyone tell me the command to get hold of the iconID of a parent
icon in Xerte3? icon.parent or parent does not seem to do the trick ...

Thanks,

Peter
