I found that there is a setting in the Component Inspector within Schema called Formatter. I am wondering if this is what I use, and if so how to format for time such as HH:MM:SS ? Or if I have to use something else?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a component which requires the selection of one item from a list of items in the component inspector. If you look at the checkbox component, you'll see a tag called labelPlacement which allows the selection of one of four choices. I would like to reproduce this for my component.
I do not need to display a list using my component, I just need to allow the choice from a list.
i never use compenents, and was recently asked to build one. Ha. Anyway, i have a working class that does all i expect, however, when transforming the class to a component, i am having trouble getting the inspector to actually 'set' the variables. below is a very general idea of what i am doing. All the variables show in the spector, but only the default values are working at runtime.

I have a created a component, and I can get the value in component inspector(code is in timeline)
But now I want that code to be in .as file.
how can I get access to the component in the stage and how to get its parameter values.
I have them appearing fine in the component definition panel, but the values entered here seem to be overridden by the component inspector and the var doesn't appear here unless I enter it manually and then there's no way to make it a list.In my class I have:
Code:
[Inspectable(defaultValue="controls", type="list", enumeration="controls,noControls")]
public var controlValue;

I'm curious when Adobe are going to repair the performance issues inside component inspector panel in CS5? Scrolling through the properties of some components is ridiculously slow, 486 like slow...

View 1 RepliesI have a advanceddatagrid that has around 15 columns. Some are string, some are numbers. I have shown 4 columns below. The number columns have formatting done for zero precision and 2 digits precision. The itemRenderer is just to show Blue Color if the number is +ve and Red Color if the number is -ve. It looks something like below
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Name" textAlign"left"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Time" textAlign="right"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Score" textAlign="right" formatter="{zeroPrecisionFormatter}" sortable="true" itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
[Code] ....
How can I save and reload the Formatter and ItemRenderer data. I am having trouble saving the formatter and itemrenderer and reloading it again. How can I reshuffle the columns but can preserve all the properties of it to through sharedobject and recover it again.
I don't need to parse the XML, or to decode it into an ActionScript object -- I'm only interested in loading both XSD and XML and tell whether the latter is legal XML according to the document definition in the former.

View 1 RepliesI wanted to know if there are ways to use dispatchEvents with custom event function calls without actually instantiate the function in an xml form but doing so in the script. What I am trying to do is, have a developer use my custom component button, but add his/her own function to what is already added to my own click event call. so just as a case he/she wants to add there own validation function of that click event. One way i have it is where i create an instance in my component within the xml schema.i have a mxml component called DialogWindow.mxml and inside I have
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="cancBtnClick", type="flash.events.Event")]
[Event(name="okBtnClick", type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
and in my script in DialogWindow.mxml i created a button with a click event called cancelAction(event);
_buttonCancel = new Button();
_buttonCancel.label = "Cancel";
_buttonCancel.addEventListener("click", cancelAction);
_buttonCancel.enabled = true;
In the "cancelAction" function I add the dispatchEvent to cancBtnClick as this will be the userdefined function.
protected function cancelAction(event:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("cancBtnClick"));
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
When deriving the component DialogWindow.mxml from another component, I can use this statement where myFunction is taken place of cancBtnClick in cancelAction function.
// from TestButton.mxml
<cmp:DialogWindow cancBthClick="myFunction()" />
The above works fine, but what if i want to call it using derived class call in a script. such as
public var dialogW:IFlexDisplayObject = null;
(dialogW as DialogWindow).cancBtnClick = "myFunction"; // this is an instance of DialogWindow
When trying this, of course there is no cancBtnClick. So i know i am not implementing this correctly.
I have the following MXML:
<mx:Script>
var someBoolean:Boolean = determineSomeCondition();
</mx:Script>

Has this been changed in FDT 4.0?
I have an xml with an xml-schema. The xml-schema defines an abstract complex type with 2 optional attributes that have default values. Then I have several complex types that extend the base one. And finally nodes of the types defined.So I load the xml and when I parse each node, the optional attributes are not present at all.I've tried fooling around with the namespaces, even[code]...
No luck. Something similar was being experienced by this guy on codingforums, but that was like 5 years ago. Same is happening to me with firefox 3.0.11 - the xml is shown without the default attributes.For now I'm setting the default values in code, but isn't there a way to make them available from the xml-schema?[code]...
I've built a component with custom inspector and preview file. I was wondering haw can I call an embedded function in preview from inspector?
The problem I've got is when I open two new FLA files and put the component in each file the preview doesn't refresh itself while switching between active windows (I have to make a change inside the inspector to update the preview)

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:
private function onPressNow(event:MouseEvent):void
{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

View 2 RepliesI have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:

so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?

View 13 RepliesI'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?
I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
Is it possible to get the component's single lable without having all the labels of the component appearing? Like, I'm trying to include the label into a text's .text the code I'm using now is MoVName.text=MoV.labels; but it gave me all the labels that were included in that particular component.

How do I access a public variable of InsideComp within my main MXML file?In Actionscript, I could just do something like:OutsideComp.InsideComp.valToChange = 5; But I dont know how to do it in MXML. I know this is probably an easy question.
