We are rewriting our multiscreen game from Flex Project to ActionScript Mobile Project (root object is flash.display.Sprite and not spark.components.Application). Aim is to increase performance on tablets and have better overview what exactly is going on, what listeners are added and so. (I just don't trust Flex in this.). Do you know any alternative for DropDownList and/or DataGrid? I can't use MinimalComps, because there are little options to customize.

View 1 RepliesI am building a flash banner ad that contains a dropdown list of US states. Once the list is clicked I want to pass the state code onto the end of the url for the ad.I used to be ok with actionscript but it was several years ago, and I'm wondering if its possible to have the ad grab the URL from the parent <a href> and just tack the state code onto it.I assume this is how clickTags work?[code]Can anyone offer any tips on how best to do this? I'm fine with building the actual ad, its just I'm not sure if I need to hard code 50 urls into my dropdown? It seems a bad way of doing things, and I'm sure theres a better way?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to display tool tips, once the user holds his mouse on an item of an opened combobox.Ifyou open the drop down list of a combo box, you'll see a list ofelements/items. Each of them can be accessed e.g. viamyCombo.getItemAt(0) .To me it seems I only get an object with adata and label property. But I think there must be more to it, becausewhen you hold your mouse over a sub-element, it'll be highlighted. Thismeans that there is some event listener on that very single item. Sohow can I do this?[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a dropdownlist of "Select an employee" which is optional. I need it to have "No one" at the top so that user can change back to NoOne if he' ve already chosen "John Someone".
My question is how to keep the prompt item, or add a dummy item at -1 without changing the dataprovider (I really hate adding "No one" to the original employeeList dataprovider)

View 1 RepliesI seem to have is that the Autocomplete component that seems to be part of flex extras is not displaying the list of items in the dropdown list. Basically, I get a list of blank items. I know they are there and they are the right items because as soon as I click on one, I get the right text in the combobox.
my Code in the mxml looks something like this
<mx:FormItem label="Company:" width="750" fontSize="20" horizontalAlign="right" color="#000000" required="true">
<ns1:AutoComplete enabled="true" labelField="CompanyName" textAlign="left" dropdownWidth="450" id="txtCompany" width="450" />

Again, when I type "T" in the text box I see a dropdown list with 3 empty items. Clicking on the third item puts "Test3" in the textbox. But the items themselves are not visible.
It almost as if its a font/foreground color thing, but I've played around with some of those settings too with no success.
Is there anyway to change the colour of items showing in the dropdown list? By default, it's showing skyblue and I need to change it into grey? I'm using Flash CS4 IDE and AS3.
View 1 RepliesI want to show some different-2(dynamic) icon in my combo Box drop down list. I am able to show icon in combo box list but I want to change the color of this icon for different-2 values.
Here is ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<len;i++){
newColor = "0x"+_root.colorList.items[i].ColorCode;
labelText = _root.colorList.items[i].DeptCodeComboDesc;
comboClip.clip.opaqueBackground = parseInt(newColor);
_root.colorListCombo.addItem({label:labelText,pIcon:"comboClip"});
"comboClip" is a clip which I want to show as icon in combobox.
I have a html/css based menu and I'm trying to put a flash video in the banner right under it, but when I hover the dropdown section of the menu it ends up behind it.Is this a z-index problem or do I need to set certain properties on the flash video?
View 1 RepliesI have an HTML website with a flash header and dropdown menu.In the beginning, the flash dropdown menu would not show at all untili found the wmode=transparent trick.The menus are now showing properly except for one specific page wherethe text on the page show up OVER the dropdown menu. In all otherpages, the dropdown menu shows up on top of any text that may be inthere.There's nothing on that particular page jumping at me that would causethe problem. In fact, the page uses the same CSS file as the otherpages. I'm really clueless.I'm not sure if it's a flash problem or HTML/CSS problem.
The only difference i could think of was that the page was called froma combobox change event. But i switched the page called to anotherpage i know works with the menu and it was fine. So the problem doesnot come from the combobox calling the page, it really is the pageitself.Does anyone have a clue?Working page sample (sorry its in french)click on Nos Services. You can see how the menu shows up over the bolded text.Now click on the combobox and select the first item listed in it.

View 2 RepliesJust finished up my first drop down menu and needed some help as well as feedback. [URL] QUESTION: What do I need to do to make the dropdown menu scroll down and fall over the html content? In other words; How do i get the other content on the page to sit right underneath the dropdown menu? I can only get the content to sit below the .swf video which is larger than the dropdown bar since it needs room to display the drop down selections.
View 3 RepliesI'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
How to construct the following in Flash 8 as 2. I have several items that need to be shown in a text field list, the list needs to update as a new item is to be displayed also the new item has to move up or down depending on how many items are on the list. For example the list has 6 items available,the fist three are a higher priority than the last three.
oranges
apples
mangoes
trucks
cars
boats
When items are called for example oranges we will have oranges in the text field
If the second item is called say trucks this will go below oranges,
If no oranges are called this will go in the top text field.
if we remove an item the remaining field will move up so there are no gaps in the text field.
For example start out with oranges only
oranges (top of list)
Next case add trucks
Oranges(top of list)
trucks
Next trucks only (remove oranges)
trucks( at top of list)
Next add and apples and oranges
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
Next add boats
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
boats
Next remove trucks
[Oranges ( top of List)
apples
boats
The actual movie clip is an aircraft caution and warning display that updates when faults occur. I know I can use an array to to populate the text field but I am not sure what to use to create the correct animation effect.
I'm trying to make my own component that behaves like a list and supports infinite scrolling (in 1-dimension : vertical or horizontal) - both directions. For eg, a vertically laid out list which the user can scroll up or down forever - without ever hitting the 'last' or 'first' item. A good use for this: a calendar that displays each month as a list item.
Anyway, there are a bunch of things to overcome. The first of which, I think, is to disable the scrollbar's bounce effects (introduced in the latest Flex 4.5 (mobile) SDK). If I can disable the bounce effects, I'm guessing I can then add/remove items as needed to the list and it would scroll infinitely.
I'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.
