how to extend Components, like if i hav to place images next to the content inside a listBox Component, how do i do that?
View 1 RepliesSWFLoader's scaleContent is not able to do what I'm trying to achieve:
<mx:SWFLoader id="img" width="600" height="400" scaleContent="true"/>
When an image of size 100x80 is loaded inside it, the image does does not resize to 600x400. That's because scaleContent = true.
Then, I set maintainAspectRatio = true. The image did resize to 600x400 but obviously, it was totally out of proportion.
So how do I always fit any sized image to the current size of the SWFLoader while maintaining the aspect Ratio? The resized image may be cropped, which is ok.
SCENARIO: An image of size 1500x10 is loaded inside the above SWFloader. In this case the height(10) should be resized to 400 and the width(1500) should automatically resize depending on the height. A lot of the image will be cropped, which is fine.

View 1 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?
Do you know any flex component with the functionality such as horizontally collapsible window or panel I found arc90, but it folds vertically.
View 1 RepliesIs it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?

I'm working to update a project that was created by someone else who left our company. It was done in AS2, so I'd like to keep it that way (without updating all the code to AS3). Here is a section of code that currently works:
var item = {Rank:rank, City:city, Reps:representatives, RepsWithSales:RepsWithSales, Appts:appts, AvgSales:FormatAsDollars(average)};
topSales.addItem(item);

I am working on a selector that uses 2 list boxes. Standard stuff, you can move items from the left box with arrow buttons to the right box. However I can't seem to get the annoying green "halo" to go away whenever one of the boxes is selected. I have tried
lstbox._focusrect = false;
lstbox.enabled = false;
lstbox.setStyle("themeColor", "Sample");
Nothing seems to stop that highlight box from popping up. Funny thing is it doesn't pop up in the IDE only when I view the movie online in production.
Working off the the tutorial here: [URL] I'm unable to get the onchangehandler working for the list component in MX 2004. I have just the basics and its still not working. I have a listbox named photolist, and I can fill it just fine but the onchangehandler isn't working. Below is the basic code that I have that isn't even tracing for the onchangehandler.

View 2 RepliesSuppose I have an IFRAME (or even better a Div, if it works?) set at 50% width. And if I put a swf in there, with the swf's size set to expand and fill the area, I'm assuming it will resize accordingly.Then when I resize the window, the frame and the SWF resizes(correct?)THEN, is it possible to place content in the SWF that will adjust accordingly? What I'm trying to do is lay out a series of identically sized thumbnails w/in the swf that will wrap to the area width. Exactly like a list of inline divs, but within the swf. I'd like to figure out a way to make the SWF know its size as it changes and adjust the positioning of contents in the swf fluidly.

View 1 RepliesI have a specific requirement for a UI component that I am working on. I would like to make the component so that a designer can update a graphics in live preview mode whilst keeping the associated class the same.For example...ets take a button component which has an icon in the background and label. By setting an inspectable, I am able to set the label easily, but is it possible to point the icon to an image in say, the library or remotely etc? and have the image show as the background inside flash?[EDIT]Ahhh...I'm not able to load extenal files into the client so the graphic would have to be a library asset? Possible?
View 1 Repliesi am creating a very simple particle system. My only issue is trying to create a blurry trail effect on the particles in motion. I started by creating a large bitmap container, and applying a colormatrix filter and a blur filter . It seems to do the trick , but the issue now, is i have to make this container cover the stage, which has a two unwanted a effects:
-it's slower
-it covers all the content beneath. Perhaps my approach to creating trails is wrong?
i can post the whole class, but before i litter this post with long lines of code, is there a way to place a bitmapdata drawing over content and still get the desired effect. NOTE, if make transparency false in the bmdata, i loose the effect
I want to extend the RadioButton component in Flex 3, adding a text input line to it in place of the label. Is it possible to do this?Alternately, is it possible to have a container -- such as an HBox -- delegate all properties to an internal component -- such as a RadioButton -- so that I could create a composite component that 'acts like' a radio button?

I have two components. One is called "InsideComp" and one is called "OutsideComp". OutsideComp has InsideComp as one piece of its component, and in my main MXML file, I have embedded an instance of OutsideComp. 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.
