processing.js, access via form button?

I need to click a HTML button and change a value in processing.js. This seems like it would be simple, but something is wrong here:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="../../processing.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<script type="application/processing">
int color =80;
void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  stroke(255);
}
void draw() {
  background(0);
  fill(color);
  ellipse(100, 100, 160, 160);
}

function changeColor(newColor){
    color = newColor;
}
</script>
<canvas width="200" height="200"></canvas></p>
<div style="height:0px;width:0px;overflow:hidden;"></div>

<button onClick="chang开发者_运维技巧eColor(150)">Change Color</button>
</body>
</html>


Change int color = 80; to var color = 80; and
<script type="application/processing"> to <script type="text/javascript">
and you should be good.

This is a concept known by the terms loose typing and dynamic typing (which means that a JS variable can hold different data types at different times depending on context). So, you don't define any types here.


To get this working, change your sketch function to:

int myColor = 80;
void changeColor(newColor) {
  myColor = newColor;
}

change your button code to be the following:

<button onClick="Processing.instances[0].changeColor(150)">
  Change Color
</button>

The reason it didn't work before is that

  1. The browser does not execute code in a <script> block unless it has type="text/javascript'. So unlike a normal JavaScript block, the changeColor function is not global to the page.
  2. Since the function is not global, you need to refer to it through the Processing instance, with the Processing.instances array.
  3. Your variable named color would stomp on the Processing API function called color() so I changed the name of your variable
  4. I changed your JavaScript function to a Processing function; Processing.js attaches Processing functions to the sketch when parsing it, which means you can call it yourself later.
