PseudoGUI:
Screen shows green fields, blue sky, yellow sun and a park bench.
The fields and the sky are the "main" scenery mxml file gui, and both
the sun and the park bench are each mxml components loaded with the
standard
<comp:sun id="sun1"> </comp:sun>
<comp:bench id="bench1"> </comp:bench>
bench contains the username and password entry fields
sun contains the login button.
Standard Cairngorm where all components are on same View =
<mx:Button id="signInButton" label="Sign In" click="{signon(event)}"
...............
private function signon(e:MouseEvent):void{
var signonEvent:SignonEvent = new SignonEvent( new LoginVO (
username.text, password.text));
signonEvent.dispatch();
}
...........
However here the entry fields are on one component, the login button
is on another and neither are the "parent".
Do I dispatch an event from the sun indicating it was clicked:
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="userLogAttempt", type = "flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
..........
private function signon2(e:MouseEvent):void
............ {var userLogAttempt:Event = new
Event("userLogAttempt");
this.dispatchEvent(userLogAttempt);
.........
<mx:button id="btnSun" click="{signon2(event)}"/>
............
and then trap the sun click event on the scenery parent:
private function userLogAttempt():void{
Alert.show("Sun clicked = logon attempt"); //
should be able to
extract username and password from bench child? Build VO here and
dispatch classic Cairngorm event
............. }
<comp:sun id="sun1">
userLogAttempt="userLogAttempt()">
</comp:sun>
.........
where I should be able to extract the username and password from the
bench child, right? And then dispatch a classic Cairngorm event?
or is there a 'Cairngorm' way of doing this? TIA,
Mic.
