Hi Jon,
Glad it's working for you. A modified version of timeline-bundle.js is not much help to people. It's the updated sources that are valuable. That said, your investigation is very helpful since it sounds like everything is working as you want it with just the change from mousedown to mouseover. Please file an RFE / Issue using the issue tracker. Include your email (below) in the body of the issue. As I siad in the previous email, others have asked for this too. Thanks for your time on it, Larry ________________________________ From: Jon Bell <[email protected]> To: SIMILE Widgets <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 1:39:06 AM Subject: Re: Rollover Bubbles in Timeline? OK, like I said my knowledge of javascript is very limited, but in my poking around and trial and error I think I may have figured it out. I'm not sure about the impact on performance, but I've gotten the mouseover popup working. I'm actually not even sure if I'm using the original files since my friend sent them along to me to work on, but when I changed the "mousedown"s in the painter javascript files it didn't seem to have any effect. Then I changed all of them in the timeline-bundle.js file and the mouseover bubble popped up, but it also changed scrolling to be mousover. So I then found the mousedowns that were tied to the scrolling (on lines 37 and 218. see below) and left those alone while changing all others to mouseovers. Would it be helpful if i posted my files somewhere? here are the two places in the file that I didn't change "mousedown" to "mouseover" lines 37-42 of timeline-bundle.js. Leave the two "mousedown"s here alone SimileAjax.DOM.registerEventWithObject (this._div,"mousedown",this,"_onMouseDown"); SimileAjax.DOM.registerEventWithObject (this._div,"mousemove",this,"_onMouseMove"); SimileAjax.DOM.registerEventWithObject (this._div,"mouseup",this,"_onMouseUp"); SimileAjax.DOM.registerEventWithObject (this._div,"mouseout",this,"_onMouseOut"); SimileAjax.DOM.registerEventWithObject (this._div,"dblclick",this,"_onDblClick"); var F=this._theme!=null?this._theme.mouseWheel:"scroll"; lines 218-221 of timeline-bundle.js. Leave this "MouseDown" alone as well. Timeline._Band.prototype._onMouseDown=function(B,A,C){this.closeBubble (); this._dragging=true; this._dragX=A.clientX; this._dragY=A.clientY; On Mar 12, 3:03 pm, Larry Kluger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jon, > > Welcome to Timeline. > > Re: roll-over bubbles -- it's definately do-able, but I haven't done it. > > I'd look at changing the methods in original-painter that add the "mousedown" > listeners to the event divs on the bands. > Change them to "mouseover". > > Unfortunately, the listeners are currently added throughout the painter code. > So you could start your investigation with just one type of event.
