variable retrieve from plugininterface

nelk

Hi Klaus,

When retrieve a variable from the plugininterface object.

For example, like this :

Code

private function registerEvent(evt:DataEvent):void
		{
			_plugininterface = _krpano.get(evt.data);
			
			_pluginterface.width 
			_pluginterface.preload
			...
			
		}

I'd like to know, if _pluginterface.width returns a int or a String,
if _pluginterface.preload returns a Boolean (true) or a String ("true") ... ?

I can remember I've read on the forum that this have change lately, but can you tell us more about it for the current version ?

Thanks !

Hi,

the predefined values in krpano (visible, enable, preload, width, ...) are typed,

e.g. "visible","enable" and "preload" are booleans,
"width" is a string (because it can be "100" or "100%"),

but dynamically generated variables are always strings,
(e.g. set(plugin[anyname].myvar, true); )

to make a check if a boolean variable is true regardless of the type and case,
this code can be used:

Code

if (String(plugin.preload).toLowerCase() == "true")
{
...
}

but it is possible to register custom varibles in as3 with correct type
with the "registerattribute" function:

Code

_plugininterface.registerattribute("mybool", true);

or:

Code

_plugininterface.registerattribute("myint", int(100));

the first parameter is the name of the attribute and the second the default value,
(if a value was already set in the xml, this value will be kept)
the type of the given value will be also the new type of the variable,

best regards,
Klaus
