8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

  • Mary M had uploaded and attempted to ingest a big spreadsheet. It still had some formatting and didn’t work. I removed the formatting and re-ingested. She’ll be out until the 25th, so we’ll have to wait to see how that worked out
  • Installed the new SWF from Dong. All appears to be working and it looks like all the users have been added.
  • Asked Dong to put together an “about” panel that has the compiled date in it. That turned out great. I’m going to add that to the other pieces of VISIBILITY
  • Working on self-assessment – waiting for some definitions
  • Back to Flex in a week
    • Day 1 Episode 8
    • Day 1 Episode 9

    • declaring any variable as “mySF = ScriptFascades()” will successfully bring up auto complete options for mySF later in the script
    • same deal for “myTable = mySF.dbQuery(…”, myTable will be recognized as a dbTable object
  • Left the dropDown in the GUI because there’s a few options I can’t reproduce like identifying an alertInfoObject and constructors

Phil 9.16.2010

Mike 9.13.2010

  • Combined all the flex classes which make up the scripting text area: PrettyPrintTextArea extends CodingTextArea extends AutoCompleteTextArea
  • added a language selector to the scripting editor screen, currently only python with my test language turned off
  • Worked through bugs and oddities which appeared from combining all the text functionality (example, the auto indent spaces were still appearing after an auto complete insert even though a newline wasn’t started)
  • The autocomplete stuff is incorporated, checked in, and turned on, not the most robust but it does work for the basic cases and reports errors when it gets confused (as opposed to the crash and burn method)
