Some ideas on how to do this

[crashgordon]

I would like to do a check on a dynamic number to use in an if statement, the check would let me know if the number was getting bigger or smaller at any time, as its dynamic it would need to some how save the last number to check against

 

 

RD.resizeTo((rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw,(rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw)

 

the rb.x - rt.x returns a value to resize RD, I would like to now if its possible to know check for when RD is being scaled up and when it is being scaled down.

 

rb  is a draggable object and i think it works in a loop that is called whenever it is dragged

 

many thanks and if my explanation is a bit rubbish i will try and be clearer

RD.resizeTo((rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw,(rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw)

width[] = RD.getWidth();

height[] = RD.getHeight();

/////////////////

 

 

if(RD.width > width[arraysize(width)]) has moved up width

 

if(RD.height> height[arraysize(height)]) has moved up height

 

 

you will need to check the function on php.net to see arraysize maybe it has different name

thanks for such a quick response, it doesn't seem to work at the moment, im using A drag and drop API from walterzorn.com could this be causing the problem also would this method be able to determine a change in direction of scale while the loop is still active?

 

thanks for the help so far

width[] = RD.getWidth();                                                ///// you need to check how to

height[] = RD.getHeight();                                              ///// push elements into an array in javascript i think this is correct

/////////////////

 

 

if(RD.width > width[arraysize(width)]) has increased up width

else if (RD.width < width[arraysize(width)]) has decreased  height

 

if(RD.height > height[arraysize(height)]) has increased  height

else if(RD.height < height[arraysize(height)]) has decreased height

thanks for you help but im sturggling to get it to work.

I understand the if statements but im really very

new to java script and an array is something I dont really understand.

Dont you have to create a variable before you call the arrray??

 

I found this example on the internet

 

http://www.hscripts.com/tutorials/javascript/dynamic-array.php

 

and have started to write this;

 

var height = new Array();

height[] = RD.h;

if(RD.h> height[arraysize(height)])  has moved up height

 

I dont think i need to call RD.getHeight();  as the API only requires RD.h

but it still breaks the code, any ideas where im going wrong???

 

I forgot to mention that "RD.resizeTo((rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw,(rb.x-rt.x)+RD.defw)" is part of a funtion, will this cause problems??

 

once again thanks for the help so far

make the array before the loop starts, we need to see much more code, to see whats going on, are you starting from scratch or what ? i have touched on this framework before, so if you just give us the code your working on, the whole bit paste it in here in code tags

[crashgordon]

ok almost solved this I think....

 

I created a function that resizes an other object either slightly bigger than RD.w if the image scales up

and slightly smaller in width than RD.w if RD is scaling down

 

I should in theory be able create an if statement using the objects width (IA.w) to check against RD.w

but from my current experience with  java script it never seems to be that simple haha!!

 

anways here's what my little brain came up with, if anyone thinks the code is a bit rough or can be streamlined im very happy for more  help and suggestions

 

and once again many thanks for the help, nadeemshafi9

 

 

 

function scaleCheck()

 

{

{

if (IA.w > RD.w+1)

    {

IA.resizeTo(RD.w+1,4);

}

else if

(IA.w < RD.w-1)

    {

IA.resizeTo(RD.w-1,4);

}

else {null}

}

}
