Delete button. [SOLVED]

[mateo 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi, I love the transform manager.

 

Awesome.

 

I have been working on this question for a while but I can't seem to figure it out.

Is it possible to also include a "delete button" that works just like the "delete keystroke" does for the transform manager?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide that might steer me in the right direction.

Sure, there's an undocumented deleteSelection() method you can call

 

Does that help?

Would something like this work?

 

Delete_btn.onPress = function() {

deleteItem();

}

 

Thanks for your help.

Ah, are you using the AS2 version? Sorry - I thought you were using AS3. There's no deleteSelection() method in the AS2 version. You could, however, do something like:

 

Delete_btn.onPress = function() {
   myManager.selectedItem.deleteItem();
}

For some reason I can't get this to work for me,

 

Delete_btn.onPress = function() {

manager_obj.selectedItem.deleteItem();

}

 

ummmmmmmm

 

I feel that I am getting closer,

 

Thanks for your help,

I really appreciate it.

It might just be a scope issue. Try this:

 

import mx.utils.Delegate;

Delete_btn.onPress = Delegate.create(this, onPressDelete);
function onPressDelete():Void {
   manager_obj.selectedItem.deleteItem();
}

Gosh,

It feels like that should work.

I must be missing something.

 

Thanks very much for all your help.

how would you do this in AS3?

[GreenSock 18,576 Likes (Superhero)]

In AS3, it's as simple as:

 

myManager.deleteSelection();
