Drag N' Drop Message Board

[RonH]

Hello All!
Its me again. This time, I was running around Myspace, and I noticed that a lot of people have that a lame Drag and Drop Message Board thing like this one: http://www.pyzam.com/toys/33

I figured I could design my own like it, but a lot better. I just got finished with it last night, and since then, I added a undo function. You can find the app here:

Please leave a message on it and tell me what you think (on here, or on the board is fine).

Thanks!

Thanks for the message! Your message is #NaN.

Cool but I got the NAN message as well. Also I can't scroll to see other saved messages.

I am working on the app now trying to fix the NaN problem. I don't completely know what the the problem is, but I am going to figure it out. It sucks though because I have to go to work at 2PM (its 1:39PM right now). I will work on it when I get off work.

Nice, it needs work of course but it is in the right track, keep going

Kool!

Okay. I figured out what the nonfunctioning prev and next message button and NaN problem was...

I have it set to check how many messages there are when the movie loads by checking the xml.childNode[someVar] for data. I do it in a for loop (I hear for-in loops are faster, but I never could figure them out) and I had the for loop set to stop at 5... I had 38 messages so yeah...

I recorded a message then saved and it said my message was #NaN too, then I changed the for loop to stop at 500, recorded another message and it told my message was #41. That was the problem :D.

Also, after I changed the for loop to stop at 500, I checked the next/prev buttons and they work. Sweet!

I started optimizing the code a bit, and since the problem was a simple fix, I could stop. But I guess that optimizing it is always better. Thanks to everyone except the guy/girl who left a message saying f**k.... :shifty:

Also, I fixed it so that you can't just keep spamming the send button like some people have... :shifty:

[RonH]

Okay. Everything (mentioned) is fixed. No NaN errors, functioning left and right arrows, and wait...

A slide bar! Sweet right? Have fun and tell me what you think. :D

It's great, but difficult to use...

[RonH]

How so? There's only a few things you can do. Slide dragger, click next and prev arrows, and drag letters by clicking on them, then releasing when you get them into position. What was hard for you?
