One last entry for the day, 2 events were previously disabled on shapes: mouseEntered and mouseExited, now they work as they should. The following example shows 4 rectangles with a colored gradient paint, whenever the mouse enters a shape its gradient will change to black/white, when it exist the shape the gradient will revert to its previous colors



The example uses the same closure as event listener for the 4 rectangles, parameterized with each rectangle's current paint and color.
def swap = { paint, color -> paint.color2 = ColorCache.getInstance().getColor(color) } rect( x: 20, y: 20, width: 50, height: 50, mouseEntered: {e-> swap(p1,'white')}, mouseExited: {e-> swap(p1,'red')} ){ gradientPaint( color2: 'red', id: 'p1' ) } rect( x: 95, y: 20, width: 50, height: 50, mouseEntered: {e-> swap(p2,'white')}, mouseExited: {e-> swap(p2,'blue')} ){ gradientPaint( color2: 'blue', id: 'p2' ) } rect( x: 20, y: 95, width: 50, height: 50, mouseEntered: {e-> swap(p3,'white')}, mouseExited: {e-> swap(p3,'darkGreen')} ){ gradientPaint( color2: 'darkGreen', id: 'p3' ) } rect( x: 95, y: 95, width: 50, height: 50, mouseEntered: {e-> swap(p4,'white')}, mouseExited: {e-> swap(p4,'orange')} ){ gradientPaint( color2: 'orange', id: 'p4' ) }
Well, that's a wrap for today

Groovy Holidays!

Update: apologies if you can't see the flash animation on IE, JRoller doesn't allow .swf as extension on file uploads I had to change it to .png, besides IE sucks big time the animation works perfectly on Firefox though. I'd look for an alternative.
