[haXe] arctic

[Michael Pliskin]

Hello Asger & all,

  Another idea is to introduce a concept of block manager, and provide
  a callback to retrieve it:
    Border(x : Float, y : Float, setManager: BorderManager -> Void)
  and then initialize it like
    ArcticBlock.Border(x, y, function (mgr) { myMgr = mgr; });

  so you can remember the managers for the objects you need, and do
  partial updates using them later.

AOA> Yes, this is a problem in Arctic right now. 

AOA>  If you just need to set the initial position of the scrollbar,
AOA> that is easily added: We'll add initial offset for the scrollbar in next release.
AOA>  
AOA> If you want something more dynamic than that, it gets more complicated.

AOA> Once you have built your blocks, there is no easy way to get to
AOA> them if you want to change them. We can communicate from a block
AOA> to the world using functions, but the other way is not really
AOA> handled yet. The problem is to provide a way to point to a
AOA> specific block, and tell arctic that it is updated. 

AOA> My first approach to this is to add an Id(name : String, block :
AOA> Block) constructor, and then a "ArcticView.update(name, block)"
AOA> call which replaces that block with a new block. I'll see what I can do.
