Can someone explain what canvas.datasets *should* be? It gives me two
conflicting responses. I found an earlier email thread between Tucker
and Adam saying that canvas.datasets *might* be deprecated at some point.
I have two datasets in the canvas, and a number nested elsewhere in my
application. In the debugger, I type:
LZX> canvas.datasets
... and I get the following response:
«Object#7| {canvas_two_ds: LzDataset :canvas_two_ds, canvas_one_ds:
LzDataset :canvas_one_ds}»
OK. Two datasets. So canvas.datasets is an object that contains
references to all the datasets that are immediate children of the canvas.
Now I do:
for (var i in canvas.datasets) {
Debug.write(canvas.datasets[i]);
}
... which gives me *all* the datasets in my app; not just the ones in
the canvas;
«LzDataset#0| <child_five_ds><root/></child_five_ds>»
«LzDataset#1| <child_four_ds><root/></child_four_ds>»
«LzDataset#2| <child_three_ds><root/></child_three_ds>»
«LzDataset#3| <child_two_ds><root/></child_two_ds>»
«LzDataset#4| <child_one_ds><root/></child_one_ds>»
«LzDataset#5| <canvas_two_ds><root/></canvas_two_ds>»
«LzDataset#6| <canvas_one_ds><root/></canvas_one_ds>»
Which should canvas.datasets mean? If it means *all* the datasets in the
app, then can I rely on that, or are there plans to remove it soon?
What should I file this bug as (if it is a bug)?
Thanks,
Antun
