Hello Everyone, I've been doing some thinking and came up with a solution that I think is able to give us more speedy layers than what we currently have.
The solution employs a StyleManager that will enable us to be able to change the look, feel and behavior of DynLayers and widgets. With this in mind I would like to make a proposal that we change the 7th argument in DynLayer to use the "style" argument instead of image. IMO background image in rarely used by developers and could be easily changed with the use of setBgImage or dictionary object ({}) in those rare cases. I think the "style" argument will be used much more frequently than bgimage. Possible usage of styles: // create a plain DynLayer var l = new DynLayer(null,0,0,10,10,null,'PlainLayer'); // creates an html container var l = new DynLayer('Hello',0,0,null,null,null,'HTMLLayer'); var l = new DynLayer(null,0,0,0,0,null,'CoverLayer'); The above layers will use customize code found in the Style object to improve the creation speed of the layers. What do you think? If it's a no, then I guess we'll just have to use setStyle() and keep the image argument. -- Raymond Irving __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
