ActionScript 1/2 :: Combo Box Only Displaying First Item Of A List?
Jul 21, 2011
I have a screen which is essentially an address screen. Amongst other fields. there are two fields on the screen which are used to enter the region of the user. One is a combo box, the other is a plain text field.
After the user selects their country from a drop down list, if that country has a list of regions associated with it, a Combobox is populated and displayed, with the text field being hidden. If there are no regions associated with the country then the combobox is hidden and the text field is displayed:
I am using the combobox to make a drop down list. I want to make the text of one of the items in the list bold. I have searched and found how to set the whole list bold but cant find a way to set it on a item by item basis.
I have an issue with Spark Lists whereby I am trying to ensure that an item is always selected and ensure that the GUI displays this to the user.
The application (full code below) creates a List, a Label and a Button. The Label states what is selected in the List. The button removes the selected item. Changing the selection, updates the text in the Label. Important: The List has "requireSelection" set to true to ensure that an item is always selected.
If I select the first item in the List, the selection is correctly reflected in the label. Clicking "Remove" removes the item and the next item is selected. This is all working correctly.[code]...
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void { menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I'm creating a mobile app in which I need to show a calendar with months at the top. The months are part of a component that extends from SkinnableDataContainer (and has some custom scrolling/behaviour - which is why I did'nt use a spark list). I need the months to be shown as a 'trapezium' shaped tab and so I'm using a png image as a mask in the item renderer for the component.
When the mask is not applied, it all works well - the months render, the list/data container selection works when I click on a month and so on.When the mask is applied, it renders well, scrolling and everything else seems to work well - but when I click on a month, nothing happens visually. And from the trace statements in my code, it appears list item selection is not changing. Looks like mouse clicks are not working.
Code:
public class TopCalendarMonthRenderer extends LabelItemRenderer { [Embed(source="/assets/trapezium_alpha.png")] private static var TrapeziumMask:Class; private static var trapeziumMaskInstance:BitmapAsset;
I want to be able to select an item from my list component and fire a function directly related to selecting that item. list is called "tidlist" function is "selecttid(n)" the "n" needs to be replaced with the index number... so if run my swf and the list component displays my items... when i select one (the third one for example)... i want to fire "selectTid(3)".... cant seem to grasp.

When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....
I've set up a combo box that moves a large image to a specific size and position on screen when a combo box item is selected. It works fine but the image can also be moved manually by dragging and moved and scaled by pressing a 'fullscreen' button. The problem is that if I set the image to a particualr position by choosing 'Position 1' from the combo box then move and scale the image, when I choose 'Position 1' again nothing happens. This is clearly because I have set the combo box event handler to 'on (change)' and reselecting the same item doesn't count as a change to the combo box.
How can I set the combo box so that it runs a function even if the same item is selected - I can't see any obvious event handler that activates when any item is selected in the combo box - even on(close) doesn't work because the combo box seemingly still doesn't count this as a valid selection. I can post code if you need to see something - it is very simple, but I can't get this working.
Creating a dynamic list and associating a picture with each list item. i need the list to be scrollable, and i want the list and it's associated picture to be displayed randomly when the application is re-launched. i.e it doesnt show the same list everytime.
I also what to be able to sort the displayed list items. e.g if the list items is about restaurants, i want users to be able to sort the displayed items by either; district, cusine type and gastro type.
the code below is able to show icons in the option items,but when i select an item from the option,the icon does not appear in the selected item.How do I make that icon appear inside selected item?
PHP Code: var blue:Sprite = new blue_mc(); var yellow:Sprite = new yellow_mc();
I want to add a SimpleButton to a list item in a list component. I am getting the CellRenderer for the list item I want and using the addChild method to add the simple button. The button appears in the right spot on the list item but it doesn't function like a button. It's like the contents of the buttons first frame is added to the CellRenderer and nothing else.
Im a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I am trying to read in XML data and display the lables in a combo box and then display the corresponding data in a text field below. So that when for example "Vintage Red Wine" is selected in the combo box, the description for that wine will then be shown in the textfield below.Most of the code is functional. The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.
Here is my XML data: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wines>
I'm trying to get the menu width of a menu item in flex 4. I can get it but I have to show the menu first, then hide the menu, do a calculation, and show it again. Is there an easier way to get the item menu width without this hassle?
Environment: Flex/As3/Cairgorm/composite component.I have two comboboxes and two datagrids such that the selection of combobox 1, inserts data into combobox two and the fist datagrid.The selection of combobox 2 inserts data into datagrid 2.I have setup the change event so that the user selection on each of the combo boxes do the right thing. The problem is that on the initial load of the comboboxes, the change event does not fire and subsequent synchronization data loading does not happen.Is there an event for getting the itemselected (1st item) after the combobox is initialized?
The following script works perfectly, but I can't get the library item (which is a mc, class "helmet") to display. Do I need to import additional classes to display the mc?
I've been playing with s:ComboBox and generally like them a lot. One detail is driving me nuts though - most likely due to my lack of knowledge in the subject - is that if I try to add a new item to my dataprovider in a changeHandler (registered to the change event) the text for the ComboBox textInput disappears - although the item addition works perfectly. Interestingly enough the same operation works fine if it gets called by clicking on a button, i.e. post the change event has been processed, and the text does not disappear.[code]if you take out the change handler you will see that adding a new item and then clicking on the button keeps the new element in the textInput while adding the item to the data provider, which does not happen if you just enter a new item and press enter.
I'm using a custom item renderer for an AreaChart:

I'm displaying my text. However, I want the balloon to be exactly above the data point. I tried to change the (x,y) coordinates but it doesn't seem to change. How can I move this balloon around to a desired location?
I try to list add the icon used the additem function but it just can display the lable name that icon function didn't work. I convert the icon type movie clip , shape and icon that still can't dispaly in the list. Actually, I want dynamic list let user choose the icon.
Not sure if you guys remember flash paper or not, but basically I am trying to clone it in AS3. The layout anyway, not the actual conversion. I have my PDF pages and SWF format and I have them loading into a tile list. I want to get the Y value of each item in the tile list so I can make a page browser.
Since my original post got moved to Components thread, but no one is responding and the majority of the people on the Forum are here, I'm gonna repost it here. I have an AS created List Component that is dynamically populated using a dataProvider populated from an XML document. When I addChild to the main timeline, everything works. When I addChild it into a MovieClip, the list shows up with the appropriate number of rows, but no text.[url]...
I would like to have a List displayed that displays data collected from the user into an ArrayCollection. I have a main DataHandling.as class that "adds" the data to the AC as an Object, but when I use trace() on the AC from another class, it does not show any values being present in the AC.
I also added some test data to make sure I was populating the AC correctly and that works just fine. I just can't seem to figure out how to add data (text specifically) to the array from another class. (The other file is .mxml)Here is my mxml code (MyCards.mxml):
ActionScript Code: protected function myCardsList_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { // This traces the 'cards' ArrayCollection from the other .as class // No values are listed
I have android 3.2 tablet application that displaying flash inside webView. now I want to catch event when pressing some inner item inside (it does't direct to another url..) is it possible??
This is my first time working with a class attached to a movieclip that is nested inside a class attached to a movie clip.I've tested all the properties and methods of PTListItem.as and they work properly but when I try to call them on the list item through PTListTop.as it returns undefined.The end goal is to dynamically load a checklist via a txt file.
