Hello everyone
I have just a quick question.
Is there shorthand way of making menu items visible/invisible?
In the Javascript reference it shows an example like this:
function fwInterface()
{ var visible = fwParameters["enable"].fwBoolValue;
fwParameters["param1"].fwVisible = visible;}
and what I was hoping was that i would be able to turn on and of multiple parameters without duplicating a lot of the code, my idea was something like
function fwInterface()
{ var visible = fwParameters["enable"].fwBoolValue;
fwParameters["param1","param2","param3"].fwVisible = visible;}
but unfortunately all it does is effect the last param
So I suppose my question is: is there a way to hide multiple elements within action palette in a simple way or do I have to do it line by line like this which I know works but will make my action quite long:
function fwInterface()
{ var visible = fwParameters["enable"].fwBoolValue;
fwParameters["param1"].fwVisible = visible;
fwParameters["param2"].fwVisible = visible;
fwParameters["param3"].fwVisible = visible;}
function fwInterface(){
var visible = fwParameters["enable"].fwBoolValue;
var params = ["param1","param2","param3"];
for (var i=0; i < params.length; i++) {
fwParameters[params[i]].fwVisible = visible;
};
}
It’s a little longer than yours, but I think it’s as short as it can
be and work in Freeway.

Actually talking about this… has any one been successful with an interface: Visible which hid and revealed a Disclosure and its contents without disabling the actual disclosure
I have tried all sorts of ways, but when ever I introduce a drop-down choice which should trigger a fwVisible which inturn include a set of interface parameters, the damn disclosures stop doing there bizness!!
Anyone had the same problem and did you get around the problem… oh one more complication I have an overall Active button and elements within the disclosure only become active if other items are populated. Anyway its the disclosures which never seem to work after the introduction of visible…
I suppose I could try CalVisibility and see if that helps but in the meantime if someone does know and can put me on the true path then I would be eternally grateful. :o)
All the best max
Pems,
Just to throw yet another option into the mix, the following can be
done as long as the parameters are the same name and numbered, e.g.
like your example, I don’t know of any less code to do this.
function fwInterface()
for (var x = 0; x <= 2; x++) {
fwParameters[“param”+x].fwVisible = true;
}
}

Sorry, or rather in your case x would start at 1 and not 0:
function fwInterface()
for (var x = 1; x <= 3; x++) {
fwParameters["param"+x].fwVisible = true;
}
}
