Hi Henry,
Here's one example I've been trying to figure out. I don't know whether
this is a documentation issue or a coding issue. The docs list many items
as a 'setter'. Sometimes this means you can use them as a getter too, but
other times you cannot.
For example, you can get the opacity from a view, but you cannot get the
motion from an animator. Both are listed as a 'getter' in the documentation.
<canvas debug="true">
<view id="view1" bgcolor="red" width="200" height="200">
<simplelayout axis="y" spacing="10"/>
<animator id="a1" motion="linear" attribute="x" from="50" to="100"
duration="500" start="true"/>
<text text="${'opacity is ' + view1.opacity}" resize="true"/>
<text text="${'motion is ' + a1.motion}" resize="true"/>
</view>
</canvas>
If you run this example, it will show the motion as 'undefined' rather than
'linear'. This isn't surprising because the object does not store the
motion type; it only saves the derived quantities.
My questions are:
- Should I be able to read back the value of any 'setter'?
- Should the docs indicate the relevant properties as getter/setter?
Thanks!
Phil
