[Xerte] check then disable checkbox

Thu Sep 30 10:03:34 BST 2010

If the checkbox hasn't been created yet, yes, unless you have cboxArray left over from a previous page?

SCR //make your checkboxes
INT
  PROTITEMS MADE HERE //set perpetual 1
SCR //check the checkboxes here?

I do it this way: you know where you are then. The only problem is when you need the interaction to not be perpetual.

Shouldn't this fail then:

engine[cboxArray[0]].setEnabled(false);

I'm addressing the rs, not the XML right?

Beforehand, when you duplicate(), you have only .xml.

Afterwards come the MovieClips.

That's exactly what works of course.

I just got stubborn and wanted to try to do it all in the creation SCR.
Came close. They can be set disabled, but the checked thing must require a longer delay.
I just didn't understand why I could dupe then set labels no problem. That's the way someone set it up ;-)
And then disabling seemed to work.
But it fell over on the checkmarks.

Does this work

SCR //make yor checkboxes
INT
  PROTITEMS MADE HERE //set perpetual 1
SCR //check the checkboxes here?

?

Yeah, that's a real pain. I've hit a few of those. You've proved it is timing?

Can't we do it as they instantiate? You want to select the checkboxes right off the bat?

Think you sussed it.

All that time wasted, duh.
Well at least I found the setCheckState(true) nugget.

are you debugging out the various bits and seeing what you expect?

inspect() reveal anything?

Might be a timing issue - can you manually do that later, just to see?

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?

Go get the latest build from http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/setup.exe and you'll find what you're looking for.

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?
