I am having trouble applying a different array for a combobox
I have created a datagrid, and then I am trying to use cellrenderer to put a combobox in a column.
Normally I set up the datagrid, then use the following code to create the column that the combobox is going in:
var column = new DataGridColumn("species_id");
column.headerText = "species_id";
column.width = 70;

In AS2, we were able to apply a tween/easing function to the drop-down in a ComboBox with some code like this:
my_cb.setStyle("openDuration", 2000);
my_cb.setStyle("openEasing", Elastic.easeOut);
But in AS3, these events are gone.Does anyone know how to apply easing to a component in AS3?
When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.
I'm using the following script to apply a blur effect on rollover/rollout. For some reason it's only applying to the last clip in the array:
Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Strong;

when it comes to AS3 and I'm creating a drugdeler game in the spirit of old DopeWars. On my main timeline i have placed out 6 movieclips containing pictures of drugs and named the instances. In my actionscript i have created 2 arrays, one containing the instance-names of the drug movieclips and one containing the name and price of each drug in string
Now what I want to do is when you mouse over a drug-movieclip a textfield will appear containing the string associated with that particular drug.The problem is, I have no idea how to get a variable containing the drug[?] arraynumber and then applying it to the second array to get the string into the textfield.Here's my script;
var drugText:TextField = new TextField;var drugIndex:Array = ["Ganja $500", "Heroin $10,000", "Cocaine $25,000", "Hasch $600", "Acid $1,000", "Ectasy $1,500"];var drugs:Array = [ganja_mc, heroin_mc, cocain_mc, hasch_mc, acid_mc, extacy_mc][code].....
I have 3 movie clips (MC's) on the stage. The instance names of these objects are in an array:
var navItems:Array = new Array("nav1_mc", "nav2_mc",
"nav3_mc");
I want to loop thru these movie clips and modify them with the following:
for each (var item:String in navItems) {
item.anyMethod = asdf;
}
If I trace item at this point, I get the correct string name that matches the MC, but it won't let me do this kind of operation at compile time. It throws a "1061: Call to a possibly unidentified method ..."
How to get at a MovieClip using only a string of its name at runtime?
regarding adding multiple childs to an array these childs are added using timer after a time interval.actually there two classes and child of both classes are added to stage one through timer as i described and other through keyboard event. now is it possible to do this if yes than how?? and is it possible to apply hittest object between these two array.
View 6 RepliesI'm currently working on a project where I have a user defined list of urls which is saved in a local SO. When the movie is loaded the ComboBox is populated with the values from the SO (Stored as array inside SO).I want to give users the option to remove items from this list. So far I have managed to remove the selected item from the combo box, clear out the SO and loop the remaining ComboBox items, but, when I try and load these item into an array to parse back to the SO, the array is created and creates the correct amount of elements, but, each element is populated with only the data from the 0 index item of the ComboBox.My code so far: (This sits inside a button component and is invoked onClick)
_root.ComboBox.removeItemAt(_root.ComboBox.selecte dIndex);
_root.ComboBox.selectedIndex = 0;
_root.local_data.clear(); [code].......
I've got an array that looks like this, iterating through:
(languageArray[i].languageName); //e.g. "French"
(languageArray[i].languageCode); //e.g. "fre"
I'm trying to populate a fl.controls.ComboBox dataProvider with this array. What I want to do is set the labelfield, as shown in the documentation:
[Code]...
In other words I want the name to be displayed, and the 'data' to be the code, which will be called when I click on the item. But the labelField is not the same as "French". How do I create the two fields in the array such that I can designate the first as labelField and the second as data?
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
I couldn't find anything to directly answer my question online, so I thought I'd post here.
I have a CSS file, and an XML file. Both are loading fine, but the flash isn't applying the CSS to the XML nodes I assign.

on a project in Flash CS4 for Windows. I have an object on a layer that moves separately at different times of the animation (all one large motion tween). I'm attempting to apply an ease to just one leg of that motion, but instead, when I choose an ease setting in the motion editor, the ease is applied to the entire tween (so it affects the stationary frames too!). Is there a way to apply an ease to a single span of motion instead of the entire motion tween?Alternatively (if it's not possible), is there an easy workflow for breaking-up a motion tween in to separate motion tweens while maintaining the position of the object in between the motion tweens? (I don't want to use the frame-by-frame animation conversion option I've seen.)

Using AS3 I am dynamically creating, sizing, positioning and formatting a textfield. I am dynamically setting the content of the textfield from the contents of an xml file. I am trying to use the bold tag and noticed that it is not working. After a bit of searching the best I could come up with is "Flash CS4 tag in with htmlText". Bottom line: I have to embed an emboldened fontface.
As an example, let's say I want to use Tahoma. In my .fla file (using Flash CS4) I embed Tahoma and export it for use in actionscript. This lets me use Tahoma as a font in my textfield. If I try to use the b tag (textfield.htmlText="not bold, <b>bold</b>";) the bold text does not get emboldened. Based on the above question I have now embedded the Bold version of Tahoma as well.
How do I link the bold version of Tahoma with the regular version of Tahoma so that when using the bold tag I get bold text in my textfield?
I am using action script 3 and need to know how to apply more than 1 action to a frame label, ie; I have 5 pages of images and have actions coded as follows:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("1Lrg");
[Code]....
code continues like this for all the buttons (84 thumbnail images), so they will open a larger image when clicked. So what I now need to do is connect the side navigation buttons to go to the relevant page (frame) when clicked...the problem I'm having is that it is causing duplications in the code ie; I now have, for instance thumbnail (btn4) calling frame 4, but I also need a side navigation button to call this frame.

I have a sprite called MaskSprite, and another sprite called PhotoSprite, with this relationship:
PhotoSprite.mask = MaskSprite;
Now MaskSprite contains a bunch of sprites as children...basically, what I have is a bunch of rectangles spaced apart, so that only strips of PhotoSprite are revealed. This works fine. But I want to blur each of these individual child sprites...but the revealed parts of PhotoSprite aren't blurred in any way. Isn't it as simple as:
Code:
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
var s = new Sprite();
MaskSprite.addChild(s);
s.graphics.drawRect(etc etc etc);
s.filters = [new BlurFilter(10,10,1)];
Is there a way in AS3 to apply a class to an instance on the stage? Or is the only way to do it through the linkage menu in the library? The reason I ask is, I have a button class that I'd like to apply to only the button instances on the stage that meet certain criteria

I'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)

Applying class to an instance on the fly?
View 2 RepliesI have 3 clips on my stage each containing a textfield into which I load 3 html files.

Applying tint to movieclip is just changing the color transformation of movieclip.
The easiest way is the Color class of fl.motion package.Just make the object of Color class, call setTint function and assign the object to movieClip.transfrom.colorTransform just find the attachment and do yourself. Cheers

I'm a very competent PHP/AS coder, but I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem. Can it be done? Possible ways I've theorised (but not been able to put into practice yet):
1) Loading AS script from external text file, much like loading CSS, or JS in HTML.
2) Writing AS to a movieclip as it is created on the fly.
