FlxCursor

[LuFe_Mas]

Hi guys, 

I really dont get how to use it. I saw the Demo. Is exactly what i want. Because i do not want the mouse arrow on my game, just keyboard.

But the demo uses FlxUIState. Actually, its not the big problem. The problem is because this way, i need a xml file. Is very simple to do.

But my game have a level select menu where the level are being unlocked only after finishing the previous one. Also on the title screen, there is a New Game button that just appears if you have a saved data already.

What I mean, is that the buttons graphics ou visible, etc, change by the code, uses logic.So I cant do that on the XML file.

There is a way to do that keyboard select effect withou the FlxUIState, or i way to put logic on xml file, like change the graphics and events.

I get it!

Using the Demo source code, if we want to change do something with the button_0:

 var buttonCaster:FlxUIButton = cast this._ui.getAsset("butt_0");
 buttonCaster.label.text = "Changing the label!";

I didn't knew this cast operator, it's amazing.

You're using an unsafe cast. According to the Haxe manual, this should be avoided: http://haxe.org/manual/expression-cast-unsafe.html

You should use a safe cast instead: http://haxe.org/manual/expression-cast-safe.html

var buttonCaster:FlxUIButton = cast (this._ui.getAsset("butt_0"), FlxUIButton)

That's nonsense, there's no reason to use a safe cast if you know the object is a FlxUIButton. To quote the section on safe casts of the manual:

Safe casts have a runtime overhead. [...] The intended usage is to try the safe cast and catch the String exception.

So you should really only use safe casts if you're unsure about the underlying type and intend to try-catch it.

Interesting, so that's the difference. I thought safe casts were more in line of Haxe's goal of type-safety wherever possible.

Haxe, OpenFL, and HaxeFlixel all have different goals and aren't developed jointly. Haxe's goal is a unified cross compiling language, OpenFL's is Flash emulation, and HaxeFlixel's/Flixel's was always to allow for very rapid game development.

So naturally people here will suggest you do what's simplest unless it creates an obvious problem, which is important for independent games because time isn't exactly a thing we have in spades. Although you may get a different suggestion from the haxelang group.
