[Xerte] check then disable checkbox

Wed Sep 29 20:20:10 BST 2010

I bumbled across this which appears to work:

tempNode.attributes.rs = 'cbox' + icon.parentNode.index() + i;
cboxArray.push(tempNode.attributes.rs);
engine[cboxArray[0]].setCheckState(true);
engine[cboxArray[0]].setEnabled(false);

Now of course I can't finds the syntax or casting that will take a dynamic index in the cboxArray

e.g. 
engine[cboxArray[0]].setCheckState(true); //works
engine[cboxArray[cboxArray.length-1]].setCheckState(true); //doesn't

I hate AS.

only buttons do setChecked. The checkbox is a checkbox, not a button, i.e. it's not based on the buttontemplate.fla

>Then after the icons have been parsed you know how to get at them. I think you know / do that already?

Yes, doing that.

But it bugs me why this is taking place:

icon.nextSibling.firstChild.duplicate(x);

tempNode.attributes.label = data.question[blah[i]];

//set a dynamic rs

tempNode.attributes.rs = 'cbox' + icon.parentNode.index() + i;

//push that rs into an array

cboxArray.push(tempNode.attributes.rs);

//address the rs via engine

engine[cboxArray[0]].setChecked(true,false); // does not work.

engine[cboxArray[0]].setEnabled(false); //works, sets checkbox disabled

I would have expected failures of both or neither

:-?

Thanks Julian. I may be going at this all backwards though.

Proto checkbox gets duped x times

icon.nextSibling.firstChild.duplicate(x);

Then next line of code sets checkbox labels

tempNode.attributes.label = data.question[blah[i]];

At this same stage should I also be able to set rs, then checked/enabled using the rs value?

Probably missing something obvious as I'm re-wrapping my head after holidays.

Button off interaction has visible/enabled property.

Not available for checkboxes, or is it inherited from superclass or something?
