Need to pass variables to animator in animatorgroup
I have a class that
extends window and uses two states to maximize and minimize windows using
animatorgroups. I need to pass variables to both an x animator and y
animator in the minimize animatorgroup. Nothing has worked, and this also
affects the maximize animatorgroup. I have tried the following without
success:
parent.variable
parent.parent.variable
classinstance.variable
classinstance.method()
The code follows.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
