We anticipate using more and more animation in our app. It is like Levure in the sense that it is has a lot of "view" module/stacks.
For now I just need to cancel one or two. Which we can very easily do "locally" -- store the result and cancel on close card. But I wonder about a global library. Where the messages contained in "pScope" (all the animation on a given card) # user will immediately close a card that has animation on progress. I wonder before I go start reinventing the wheel there, if someone how a global library for canceling the pending message. The idea is send "gotoPathIndex" to me in 4 seconds send "moveTiger" to me in 3 seconds I started in this but got lost in how to manage 2 dimensional arrays with with "wild card" in the second dimension. So I just got it working for one card, for one animation for now ========== # card script: on preOpenCard send "gotoPathIndex" to me in 4 seconds put the result into pResult -- put the pendingmessages -- breakpoint queueStackMessages "CoverAnimation","closeCardTransition",pResult end preOpenCard on closeCard cancelStackMessages "CoverAnimation", "closeCardTransition" end closeCard # stack script: testing, will put in a back script eventually # queueStackMessages # Param1: e.g all pending message for a given card animation(s) # Param2: e.g the name of the message # Param3: e.g the result--Message ID local sStackPendingMessagesA command queueStackMessages pScope,pName,pResult put pResult into sStackPendingMessagesA[pScope][pName] end queueStackMessages # -- cancelMessages command cancelStackMessages pScope,pDescription,pResult cancel sStackPendingMessagesA["CoverAnimation"]["closeCardTransition"] -- if param(2) is empty and param(3) is empty then -- repeat for each key K in sStackPendingMessagesA -- end if -- # oops - got lost in -- # how cancel all animation in pScope end cancelStackMessages two more questions: 1) how to get a "wild card" in an array, or do we need a repeat loop to thru the keys cancel sStackPendingMessagesA["CoverAnimation"][*wildCard*] 2) can you cancel a message with its name? I suspect not. We will have parse the pendingMessages. 3) You always have a global license to say "This is bad architecture. Why don't you do it like this?" 53428,1539662235.139143,gotoPathIndex,card id 1088 of stack "/Users/brahmanathaswami/Documents/_Siva-Siva-App/modules/pathtosiva/pathtosiva.livecode" 45657,1539663123.654176,news_Fetch,stack "/Users/brahmanathaswami/Documents/_Siva-Siva-App/libraries/lib_SivaSiva.livecodescript" _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
