Possible to add objects in plugin?

Hi,

I created a plugin that loads an external xml to build up a menu. To make things more simple, I was wondering if I could add the objects in the external xml in the plugin?

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

<plugin keep="true" alpha="1" customattribute="1" url="plugin.swf">
<object attribute="1" />
<object attribute="2" />
</plugin>


and from the flashfile I could loop it like:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

plugin_object = krpano.get(plugin_path);
for(var i:int = 0; i < plugin_object.object.length(); i++)
{
    trace(plugin_object.object[i].@attribute);
}


Is this possible?

Hi,

yes, that's possible

but the sub objects must have a "name" attribute for identification,
and the name must begin with an alphabetic character,
then an internal array for these objects is created,

e.g.
xml:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

<plugin keep="true" alpha="1" customattribute="1" url="plugin.swf">
<object name="n1" />
<object name="n2" />
</plugin>



the items of this array can be accessed with the krpano.get() function,
e.g.:

as3 - get():

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

var plugin_object:Object = krpano.get(plugin_path);
var cnt:int = krpano.get("plugin_path + ".object.count");
for(var i:int = 0; i < cnt; i++)
{
   var object:Object = krpano.get(plugin_path + ".object[" + i + "]");
   trace(object.name);
}



or direct via direct array access (better and faster )

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

var plugin_object:Object = krpano.get(plugin_path);
var objectarray:Array = plugin_object.object.getArray();
for(var i:int = 0; i < objectarray.length; i++)
{
   var object:Object = objectarray[i];
   trace(object.name);
}



these internal arrays have these interface functions for as3:
  • count - returns the number of items
  • getItem(index) - returns the object at the given index
  • getArray() - returns a ref to a normal AS3 "Array" which contains all objects

best regards,
Klaus

Hi,

no, the <include> tags were parsed and resolved while loading the xml itself,

best regards,
Klaus
