[Golist] Rollover Animations

Thu May 15 12:18:32 PDT 2008

Yeah here's the deal: In Go, managers are OPTIONAL for the end user.

You need to include in your documentation that IF people want to use  
that manager, they should put the line in their code one time at the  
top of their program,

GoEngine.addManager(new OverlapMonitor());

What that does, is that the manager is only ever compiled or used in  
the SWF if the end programmer wants to use it. Things will more or  
less work without it, and Go is all about keeping all things optional,  
so you only ever compile exactly what you want to use.

I know that it is one of the more subtle or complicated concepts in  
the Go platform but it is also one of the most powerful. Because  
anyone can develop custom managers, as many as they want, and not have  
to "bake" them into the system, those managers can remain optional.

Make sense?
