Spent some more time going over the edje internals today. From what I understand, lua can only be used in script only groups. Script only groups don't have parts. The script is supposed to create them. The original description of script only was that you would either create your own parts, or could import them somehow from some other group in the edje file. I'm not seeing any signs of that being possible in embryo, and current lua only creates rectangles. No sign anywhere of the import ability. I only have one rect in my edje, it's the black background. lol But ... the stuff you create in lua is not hooked up to the edje geometry stuff. You gotta deal with resizing your parts relative to each other yourself. Which sucks. Basically, starting to look to me like the script only stuff was not really implemented enough to be useful, which cripples lua coz it's limited to script only and rectangles. sigh I've restructured my edje so that there is a separate group with just embryo scripts in it. This group does not do any part manipulation, it just sends signals to the group with the parts. Next I can translate that group to a script only lua script. That will at least get me started with lua. I could start to implement lua importing and colour class manipulation, as that is what I'll need right now. Unless my client is suddenly in a hurry, then I'll just go with what I got so far. Come back to it later to be ready for the big lua project I have planned. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
