Ok, so this week sees me looking at the code and thinking that it could be a lot neater, more general and apply to more situations. I find when I begin programming a new project I make my code very specific. I 'talk' to my objects directly by name rather than the better method of being general by referring to parents and children of them.
Being direct makes it easier, in my mind anyway, to get results quickly. This is because I know where I am going wrong when things aren't working for the path to the object is clear, or, clearly wrong. But lately I can see the flaw in this in starting this way.
It's no good to be specific with code that you may use more than once on a page. I have to control more than one video player for example. Therefore I will have to speak generally to all video players which is much more efficient than speaking to one at a time.
I've made a start hopefully it makes it better.
