Ok - I've got this class -- it's really a sort of 'column text' class for laying out nice stylized text -- the user can choose how many columns there are onscreen.
Now I won't get into all the specifics, but there's a background color that's being drawn based on how much text is in a column; and whatever column has the longest text, then all x columns should draw their backgrounds to meet that _bottom (height) amount, dig? So I'm making the 'backHeight' variable static so it's shared among x instances of the class, but I'd like when one class instance redraws itself, all the instances redraw their backgrounds. I have the function working with instances, but I can't make it static as instance variables aren't allowed. Should I either: a) create a static function that calls instance functions (?) b) have a static array that each instance adds itself too, and the currently edited column instances calls each instance function based on the array? c) there's another better way I'm not getting? _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
