Hello all,
I am trying to animate a sub-actor inside a ClutterActor but I can't seem to
be able to do so.
I have an actor A which contains several Bs, A is not a container but a
regular actor. I have a add method which adds B to A, and in the process
does B.set_parent (A).
1. When I do so, right after the parenting operation I set the position and
dimensions of B. The position and dimension requests are not being regarded
and according to --clutter-flags=paint, the allocation of actor B is
{0,0,0,0}. I wonder why that is when I am explicitly setting the size and
position. The only way I could get the actor B to appear was by explicitly
setting the allocation of actor B to the desired location.
2. Then, in one of the other methods I try to animate the "x" property, but
it doesn't do anything, the actor stays where it was set by the allocation,
the reason for which I couldn't understand either.
Is there anything I am missing? How can I go about creating composite
actors where sub-actors can move around etc.?
Thanks,
Uday
