ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Style Of A "Combo/Scrollbox" In Flash MX?
Dec 31, 2002
I have a Flash Scene with a black background.Into that scene, I inserted a standard "Combobox" fromthe Flash component menu.As I want to have a black background in the Combobox, tooand also white text instead of black text, I wrote an action-script to customize my combobox (I gave it the instance name "splashesscroll").
How do I change the corner radius of a Label component in Flex. Tried applying style name, and the setStyle('cornerRadius',9) methods, but doesn't work. How can I change the arrow image in the combo box control to a different image?
i want to load font types into a combo box and depending onwhat the user selects change the font of a text box. this is what ihave so far...changedFont.enumerateFonts(true).sortOn("fontNam") to false as i didntwant all the fonts loaded from my system. I have embedded the fontsthat i want. but they will not change to what i select.
I have a combo box called "jcolor1". I have a Movie Clip called "main". In my combobox I have set all of the color names in the labels section, and all of their hex values in the values section. I am trying to be able to change the color of the movie clip using actionsctipt.My actionscript I have (attached to the combobox)
on (change) { myColor = new Color(main); myColor.setRGB(jcolor1); }
Its not working, I think the link between the Movie Clip and the combobox is not right, maybe I am not declaring the variable correctly.I want the combo box to reference the hex value I put into the data section in the component inspector and change "main" to that color.
I have figured out a way to change the style of tabs at run time with following logic:
var cssStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".MyTabs"); cssStyle.setStyle("borderColor", "red");
But here ".MyTabs" class is applicable to all the tabs between first and last tab. As per getStyleDeclaration javadoc, it only accepts "class selector" and "type selector" not the id selector.
How can I change the individual tab style at run time?
Whenever i try to draw anthing (oval, box, pencil, brush) it just comes out as a thin green line. Ive tried the obvious by changing the thickness, style and colour for each of the tools but nothing seems to work.
The component itself works perfectly. I can create a scrollbox and the scrollbar and everything works perfectly..except that it somehow partially disables my other codes. I'm trying to create a small database in flash where I can store stuff and to quickly find what I'm looking for I made a Input Text field and added a code so that you could search for a keyframe label and then it would jump to that keyframe.The scrollbox disables the search function, although only partially! The button with the search code looks like this:[code]which means the scrollbar component somehow disables the Enter button! Weird. I know I should be content with at least the clicking working, but I'd really love to have a search where you can just simply press Enter for it to go to that keyframe.
Well, the problem didn't end there.When I try to delete the scrollbar and everything that made the search stop working, the enter button still won't work, even when I deleted all the faulty keyframes where I added the scrollbars! So I have to begin again from scratch to make it work.A scrollbox would really help me get more text into a keyframe, so I'd love to have it there. If someone can help me get this work, I'd be happy.I tried creating my own scrollbar. It works great, too, and it doesn't disable the search code. The problem is, that I made the scrollbox into a movie clip, and I need many scrollboxes with different texts, and I'd really hate to create a new scrollbox from scratch each time I need one with different text. Plus, I'll probably need 100+ scrollboxes so it'd take a while to make that many.Anyone know how you can duplicate a movie clip and then edit the duplicate without the original being edited? That annoys the hell out of me and I'd really love to be able to just duplicate my self-made scrollbox and edit the text on each one, because right now when I edit the text on the duplicate box it also edits it on the original one :/
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 got this scrolling code here which works good but I wanna make it so when the mouse rolls over the mask the user can scroll with the mousewheel. Code: import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; import com.greensock.plugins.*; import fl.motion.easing.*; import flash.events.MouseEvent; [Code] .....
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) { switch(this.value) { case "value1": comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"}); break; } // end switch } // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
Lee and the forum members here have helped me out dozens of times, even if you don't know it But now I'm stuck and can't find an answer anywhere. I'm making a new site in Flash CS4 for the first time (had been using F8 up to now) and got stuck on the scrollpane-component. I'm not big on actionscript, just can't get my head around it, so first place I looked was here. Saw the scrollbox-tutorials and ditched the whole scrollpane-idea. I followed the tutorial, everything went fine, I was happy, but then I wanted to use a second instance of that scrollbox. That seemed to work, but upon testing I got the Error #1009 message (TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.

I'm interested in finding out the best approach to this issue, it's not technically difficult but there must be an elegant solution. Basically i have a form that features mostly text inputs, i would like to change the style of the input boxes based on the current state. I can do this in the mxml on each input...
I've got a comboBox component on the stage, instance name 'combo'. I want to style the text. I followed the adobe instructions, but they seem not work, and I get no errors.
Code: import fl.data.DataProvider; import flash.text.TextFormat; var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
I'm an experience programmer, but I'm pretty new to flash. [URL] I've been following along and learning with some of the tutorials, but I can't quite seem to get the scrollbar to work right. I've written the code in object oriented classes and linked the classes to the library elements, but I am getting an error: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ScrollBox."
When I remove the linkage to the ScrollBox and just leave the ScrollBar linkage, the scrollbar works great (moves and everything), but the the content of course doesn't scroll.
Can some one please direct me to a example where a combo box has been inserted in a datagrid using as3 in CS4. I have a idea that it can be done using the cellrenderer, but i am not able to figure out how to achieve it. i tried searching on net but could not find any working example.I am working on a project where there are mutiple rows in the datagrid, and the values of the datagrid item can be changed using the combo box inside it.I have just started on actionscript so not much experience on that part. I have been searching on net for quite few thing and working them out.

ive managed to get info from a mysql database into flash in a combo box. i have a text field and i want it to load in the corresponding data when a new title is selected in the combo box.
I'm working on a flash project, the designer designs UI by Flash CS5 and export the UI as swc file, I use Flex to control the data on the UI.
The designer uses shapes for the UI design, it is easy for him to define the colors and background, but I need this shapes more like a component like Combo box, so I can display the data on those shapes.
Is there any easy way to covert shapes to combo box or the similar operations?
I'm trying to insert some data into my DB from two Combo Boxes in Flash. I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I have no idea how to give the combo box a 'var' value like we do for a regular textfield. I have other pages where I have regular text fields that work fine as I can specify the 'var' value in the properties but not for combo boxes. I'm new to actionscript so please bear with me.
Action Script for my button:
Code: on (press) { loadVariablesNum ("http://localhost/Test/acadForm.asp",0, "post");
I have an editable mx:Combobox. I want to catch two events: When a user enters some text, or edits some text.When a user changes the selection (selects an item from the combo box).Is it possible? I have been using change event, but it is fired in both cases and I can't differentiate it. Is there a better way of doing this?
I need a way to disable the mouse over events for a combo box flash component as it is sitting inside a movieclip (A) on the stage, when I mouse over the movie clip I add a glow to a different mc (B) in the movie. Problem is is that the combo box is preventing the mouse over even in A to occur so B is not 'lighting up'.None of this works as it still appears to register a MouseOver event:
Code: Select allmyComboBox.focusEnabled = false; myComboBox.textField.focusEnabled = false; myComboBox.dropdown.focusEnabled = false;'s built in ones?
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>
