[Laszlo-dev] Best practice to access sprite details from lzx code

[Philip Romanik]

Hi Max,

I'm finishing up LPP-3569. The richinputtext code 
(/lps/components/extensions/views/richinputtext.lzl) needs to access the 
__LZtextclip object in the sprite. There are two choices but I'm not sure 
which one is the best practice.

Option 1:

richinputtext.prototype.replaceText = function (s, e, txt) {
    this.sprite.__LZtextclip.replaceText(s,e,txt);
}


Option 2:

richinputtext.prototype.replaceText = function (s, e, txt) {
    this.getMCRef().replaceText(s,e,txt);
}


LzText.getMCRef() is listed as private, but does a better job of hiding the 
details. The existing version of richinputtext accesses __LZtextclip in the 
view.


Thanks!

Phil
