I am trying to figure out the 'correct' use of dispatch:
I first set up a lot of details in an iOS app on launch. I load some text files
and populate some custom props for use throughout the app. After that I want to
load the appropriate fields and other aspects of the app from those custom
props BUT only if everything else loaded. I won't know what the data is so I
can't check that, I can only tell wether or not something was loaded. I was
trying to determine if I should use send or dispatch.
I am using this code now:
on openstack
loadCustomPropsFromFile
dispatch "loadAllUsers" to card "Users" of this stack
if it is "handled" then
dispatch "loadCurrentUser" to card "Users" of this stack
if it is "handled" then
dispatch "loadCurrentUserForm" to card "Users" of this stack
end if
end if
end openstack
But I could use:
send "loadAllUsers" to card "Users" of this stack
send "loadCurrentUser" to card "Users" of this stack
send "loadCurrentUserForm" to card "Users" of this stack
My question is "Is the right usage of dispatch?"
"Is there another 'better' way to accomplish this?"
Thanks
Tom
