Title: How to make a SLIDESHOW?
Post by: crypt on May 20, 2009, 02:27:35
Please help, here are my ideas and problems :-) so far

MEDIATORS:
ThumbnailsMediator > display thumbnails for current album
PictureMediator > display current image

PROXY:
EntityProxy > gets one albums data from AMFPHP, no bitmap data, just an array of urls, names, ids..

SlideShowProxy > store albums data, slideshow timeing, play, pause.. and sends notification to ThumbnailsMediator if new thumbnails reference are avaiable, and to PictureMediator to show a new picture.

but where to use StartupManager's assetloader?
Currently i use it in mediators, for ex. ThumbnailsMediator get notification from SlideShowProxy, if new thumbnails reference are avaiable mediator send a notification to LoadAssetGroupCommand, with thumbnails url's addresses. But i think it's not a good sollution because bitmap datas should be in SlideShowProxy?

But there are timeing isues too, if I change to a new album, first i should load thumbnails and after it first, second...n pictures, or if someone clicks meanwhile on a thumb, I should stop loading pictures and load the requested one.

Thanks!

Maybe have a reference to the AssetGroupProxy in SlideShowProxy, and give SlideShowProxy accessors to the bitmap data.
