using Director class and widget together

Director Class
#1

Hi all,

I’ve run into a small problem when using the director class and the widget library together.

When I insert new text on the screen without the widget library it aligns as it should. Once I include

local widget = require("widget")

my layout is completely wasted.

Another problem that I have: when I want to insert

local myToolbar = widget.newToolbar( "My App" )  
localGroup:insert(myToolbar.view)

I get an error. Although in the documentation it says to insert the .view property into a display group.

Thank you for any help.

I’ve had problems with Directory and widgets too. And I can’t seem to get an answer on this, so I guess I’ll have to start looking at Director alternatives.

Same here. I get error with the following:

localGroup:insert(myToolbar.view)

It works fine without that line.

It does not give error with the following, but the widget does not show.

localGroup:insert(myToolbar)

Is anyone using widgets with Director class? Does it work? Ricardo? [import]uid: 19297 topic_id: 15591 reply_id: 61300[/import]
