Dashcode -- How to use a static list as a menu

[adam8797]

I am writing a iphone website and for a navigation menu i want to use a static list. I have searched EVERYWHERE and cant find anything on the topic. I have attached the outline of the website.

to recap:

(1) I want to use a static menu as the navigation menu.
(2) each entry should link to another view of the stack layout.

I dont care if its dynamic or static but static seemed like the obvious choice.


Thanks in advance,
Adam

just found a way

Hello Adam!

I'm a newcomer to dashcode, and had the same problem just today.
Well, I did a little hit and miss job through the debug, ended up with the following code:

function showOption(event){
    // Menu points to the static list that comprises the menu.
    var menu  = dashcode.getDataSource("listMenu");  
    // idx points to the current rowIndex (disabled multi selection).
    var idx     = menu.__selectionIndexes[0];
    // The "theOption" object is an array that holds the key/value pair (label/value).
    // Value is set to the name of the layer.
    var theOption = menu.__content[idx][1];
    
    newTransition = new Transition(Transition.NONE, 0.0, Transition.EASE_TIMING);
    //change foreground of the stack according to theOption
    document.getElementById("stackLayout").object.setCurrentViewWithTransition(theOption, newTransition, false);
}

For the uglyness of this code, I feel its not the correct/best solution, but had not the time to investigate a "valueForKey' approach but, nonetheless, it worked. Set it for the "onClick" method on your listRowTemplate1 object.



Hope it helps!

Best regards,
