Hello List,
Excuse a little intro blurb; my new boss dropped Director on my lap like a
hot brick three weeks ago, I've managed to 'almost' complete the first task,
a CD catalogue with shopping basket, save to disk and send the order by
internet or print it out - phew!. I've used Valentina www.paradigmasoft.com
(damn fine database engine!! Thanks Ruslan.) Because I'm so new to Lingo and
because the project grew organically I've finished up with a 'spaghetti
code' project (term borrowed from Irv Kalb - thanks Irv for the
tutorial!!). Now I'm working on a menu for the next project but keeping it
more OOP.
My problem is how to dynamically assign behaviors. I know I can use the
ScriptInstanceList but this only works if a sprite already has a behavior
attached to it. For the first hierarchical menu I built I used mouseLoc to
find which item was to be hilighted or selected but this seemed to work a
bit slow when looping through all the items to find a match. I'd be happy to
send anyone my first menu version (D8) if they wanted to take a look and
offer improvements. I hope you all understand what i'm getting at here :o).
Blessings Darryl
