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

Option 3:

create a LzInputText.replaceText API?

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!
