I've got some dynamic text (from coldfusion) coming in to my flash movie and I need to turn what's coming in into a bulleted list. right now it's a list of features delimited by commas like this: Anodized aluminum deck construction, anodized aluminum t-rail, extra heavy vinyl, Nextwave electrical system, etc., etc. Is this possible with actionscript?
View 4 Replieswell i have this string im receiving from an URL: "245500" All I need to do is separate all of the characters, so it would gimme back an array just like
PHP Code:
Array = ["2", "4", "5", "5", "0", "0"]

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?
I'm using flex 4.1 to write an application. i read in the documents that has the rowCount property to set how many items to display. the does not have that property. how can I limit the list to display 3 items ?
View 3 RepliesI am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'. I assumed this was the object containing all of my list items but the only members of this MC I can see (when tracing them out) are 'setRGB' and 'searchKey'.
View 1 RepliesHere is a snip from within my code:
[Code]...
The 'recommendations' dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of String, which are generally sentences about as long as this one. By setting the variableRowHeight and wordWrap properties as shown, if a sentence is too long to fit on a single line, everything works fine- the row expands and the messages show on two lines, or occasionally three.
The space allocated for this panel within the entire canvas means if the total text size of 'recommendations' exceeds six lines, I need for the entire list scroll. This is also working just fine. The trouble is when using the mouse wheel to do the scrolling- Flex scrolls both the entire list and the single item where the mouse is hovering. Often this results in only the second half of a sentence being visible. Non-programmer friends I have asked to look at this noticed this, and tell me it as a problem. If a user does not notice the dual scrolling, and sees only a fragment of a sentence, it will be perceived as an error in the application.

Why I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?
Theres any workaround for this? I have a listener for keyboard event that checks if keyCode is equal to 40 if it is then I use 'stage.focus = list', but I have to press 2 times key arrow down to start navigating through list items.
I recently began a project and soon felt that it would be useful for me to have my users put a code into a TLF text field, such as 0123456. The user then clicks a button and each character of the text field are put into several variables.
For example:
Code:
variable1_var = "first character in text field"
variable2_var = "second character in text field"
/* This would be repeated up to variable7_var */
variable1_var would equal 0 and variable2_var would equal 1, so on and so forth.

Is it possible to call different data from a same text file? In the tutorial about the dynamically loaded text, the example was "kirupatext=" and the text was loaded from after that in the txt file. Is it possible to make it stop loading after a certain point?
For example,
" kirupatext=
Hello There!
I am an example of text that has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa's server. Best of all, notice that you can scroll the contents of the text up and down by clicking on the arrows. This is a nice, useful feature that you can use on your site."
How can I make it load only up to "Best of all"? Is it possible to break up the text into 2 parts so that they are loaded by different text boxes? i tried adding another marker like "kirupatext2=" at another point, but it just gets loaded along with the first "kirupatext=".
I have a Flex list and a custom ItemRenderer. I'd like to be able to have some items in the list use a different ItemRenderer (say, depending on the class of the item). Is this possible?
E.g.: <s:List dataProvider="{_systems}" itemRenderer="myItemRenderer"/>
Most items in _systems use myItemRenderer. But if element 3 of _systems is "specialSystem" the renderer would be "specialItemRenderer".
i want to alter the code in a way that every time 5 items are in a row the next 5 will be in another row with Y +200

if there is a way to get a manual text list (or an array or really just anything I could use to get an overview) of items in the library of an FLA...?
I have about 60 movieclips of different flags in my FLA- they all are "linked" to be used in Actionscript- so they have names there but are not named otherwise (as instances on the stage, for example).
Is there a way to get a list of them? I don't want to have to type them all out manually, if there is another way
This is driving me crazy, it seems like it should be simple but I haven't been able to find any documentation on it anywhere. I have a List() that I've created and populated with a DataProvider. I want it so that when you click on a list item that item becomes disabled (in the same way you set list.enabled = false). Since I haven't found out how to disable the list, I have something like this which just removes the entry:

View 2 RepliesBelow is a function set that's used to get info from an XML source(s) and populate a List Component (videoList). Works great. The second function loads data from a separate XML source and populates the SAME List Component. When the second function is called it loads the data in addition to the existing data into the List Component. I want it to REPLACE the data. How would I accomplish this?

For the RSS I made a scrollable list of the items from the xml to show the time+title - this is working fine. Now when I click on the title it show on the text area (logText) the description. Now what I want is to add a link behind the description. I have tried with .link but it shows the whole link tag and not clickable link to the page...
function selectLog(evt:Event):void {
logText.htmlText = rssXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex].description;
Would be nice to have the link working.. like "read more".. clickable link... behind the description.

How to enumerate items of Spark List component after setting dataProvider property?
I mean accessing them as DisplayObject instances.
I have a List of items which is based on the contents of the "category" that a user selects
When the user changes selection, I change the dataProvider of the list be be the contents of the current category.
Sometimes the list contains items, sometimes it does not
Is there a way of hiding the list when it has no items?
I know that I could do this when setting the dataProvider, but it seems like there should be an event or something else that I could be using.
Is there any way to get the sum of items based on some filters from sharepoint list? I was trying to access the GetListItems method. But this returns all the items in the list. That makes the data heavy. My requirement is to get only the sum of items. For example items created in a specific year.I am trying to populate a chart in flex from the sharepoint list. Accessing all the items and then calculating the sum in flex will not work always where the list contains more items.
