ActionScript 2.0 :: Selecting First Value In Combobox
Oct 26, 2009
I'm using a combobox component that I'm populating with a five-element array, as follows:
0 All
1 Bakery
2 Diary
3 Deli
4 Drink
And because I don't want "All" displaying in the text box, I've added the line
dropDown.text = "Select here..."
once the combobox is populated. Unfortunately, when I test the combobox and open the list, "All" is at the top of the list but already selected, so that when I click it, nothing happens. The rest of the items work fine.
Could someone tell me how to disable the first item, so that it's not automatically selected when the list opens and therefore can be clicked?

My goal is to create a generic function that selects a value in a combobox according to a value. (My comoBox holds arrayCollection as dataProvider.) The difficulty is infact to get a propertyname in runtime mode.
public function selectComboByLabel(combo:ComboBox , propetryName:String, value:String):void {
var dp:ArrayCollection = combo.dataProvider as ArrayCollection;
for (var i:int=0;i<dp.length;i++) {
if (dp.getItemAt(i).propertyName==value) {
combo.selectedIndex = i;
return;
}}}
The line if (dp.getItemAt(i).propertyName==value) is of course incorrect.
It should be arther something like: dp.getItemAt(i).getPropertyByName(propertyName)

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.

I'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.

**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/abc', since linkage identifiers must be unique.**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/def', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.

I want to develop an app, which will have a GUI, and will do real time processing of user input. App should work in most common web browsers, and processing will be client side. Also, the app must only work if user is online and logged in to my website. Something like a "license". People should not be able to hack/reverse engineer the code etc. Is it possible to do what I want using Java Applet or a Flash application? Any other technology?

I have this file [URL] with this code
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
//Roll over and out button actions
var buttonArray:Array =
[code]....
1. Rather than using removeChildAt(5) how can I change this so I don't have to hard code in a number? As when I use this in my main project I get an out of bounds error.
2. How do I get my store text to match the pin that has been rolled over, so if pin 1 has been rolled over I get store one etc. At the moment I only know how to say storesArray[0]; which obviously isn't working for me.

I'm trying to create an gallery application that reads the pics from the server per category (= directory). I do this using a PHP that creates the XML file:
HTML-code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <categories> - <category name="Categorie1">
<image name="cat1Pic1.jpg" /> <image name="cat1Pic2.jpg" /> </category> - <category name="Categorie2">
<image name="cat2Pic1.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic2.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic3.jpg" /> <image name="cat2Pic4.jpg" /> </category></categories>
Now I can get to the categories(= directories) using this code:
ActionScript 3 Code:
var categoryAttributes:XMLList = galleryInput.category.attributes();
for each (var categoryNAME:XML in categoryAttributes){
trace("categoryNAME:" + categoryNAME);
}
This works, I get the directory names and create labels on stage and hang eventlisteners on them to handle user input. The next step is to select the corresponding pictures (that are in the "current" directory) and I just can't get it to work. My best effort so far is the following, but this code gives me ALL pictures, not a selection....
ActionScript 3 Code:
var categoryAttributes:XMLList = galleryInput.category.attributes();
for each (var categoryNAME:XML in categoryAttributes) {
trace("Hier komt de categoryNAME:" + categoryNAME);
// Get the right pictures
[Code] .....
And if I use galleryInput.category.image.name AS3 states that there are more than one value (of course). Now I have 2 questions: How do I limit the selection to just the images belonging to the "current" category? Is this the right approach? Or should I design it all different?

I've stupidly made a flash document with the default 550x400 pixels and I now need to scale all the content (buttons, MC, dynamically loaded images)
Is there an easy way to do this without selecting everything (problematic by the way) and using the transform tool?

I have around 40 mcs I want to use as buttons, how can I do something like this:
var mc:MovieClip;
for (var i:Number=1; i<=40 ; i++){
mc = MovieClip(MovieClip(root).getChildByName("m"+i));
[Code]....
Right now, when I roll over any of those mcs, always the last is working.

In coloring an object using the toolbar fill palette, I'd like to simply be able to double click on the color swatch in the toolbar, rather than click on the swatch and mouse down to the color and click again with the eyedropper. What's happening is that the color swatch in the toolbar contains a variety of colors around the one that it nominally represents. e.g. If the swatch is ff0000, double clicking on the swatch is likely to color the selected object anywhere from f30000 to fe0000 depending on precisely where in the swatch you double click.

somehow I switched the setting for selecting some frame in the timeline. I was used to click once and have one frame selected. Now it selects the whole time of a keyframe when I click on it not just the frame I clicked on.
how I can set it back how it was?

I am trying to write a flash app that will allow a user to select various regions of an image, similar to that of the selection tool in photoshop where a square region can be stretched and selected.
Would anyone have any ideas or tips for me that could get me going in the right direction? I have been researching for tools to help me write this but haven't been able to find anything useful..

I'm trying to select the id of a textArea when it's focused in
[Code]...
Problem is TextArea is made up of RichEditableText so target doesn't actually refer to TextArea. I've tried event.target.parent.id but still not getting there. Anyone knows how to get to the bottom of this?

I've created an Flex app. It currently has an drop down menu. With the option to select a Channel. Once the channel is selected the data pulls through. But, what I want to do is just pull through one channel of data as opposed to multiple items of data. How can I achieve this?
My code is quite simple at the moment and looks like this :
<mx:FormItem label="Select your Channel : " x="296" y="0">
<s:DropDownList id="channelSelection"
dataProvider="{channelList.lastResult.channels.channel}"
[Code].....

I'm trying to build a portfolio gallery.I have it set up so that the user gets all my portfolio items to start with and then at the top right there is a comboBox that allows the user to select "programs", "code" and "clients" this changes the left vertical tileList to only show icons of the programs or of codes etc.I'm trying to get it so the user clicks on one of the program icons or whatnot and it then limits the thumbnails in the tileList on the bottom of my widget.The thumbnails come from a xml document that has the images and then <keywords>.Inside this node is a list of the programs and codes used.I tried using indexOf and then a if statement to check if indexOf was -1.But that didn't work.[code]

So you start off with all of the items in the inventory. You do not have to collect them.I have 8 MovieClips on the stage each with a different instance name. I made a class called Rebound and linked all the inventory MoivieClips to the Rebound class as the base class. they each have their own unique class.What I'm trying to do is select one of them. when you release the mouse off the movie clip (MOUSE_UP)it goes to frame 2 of its movieclip and making a variable I made up called isSelected = true.but when you click another item in the inventory I want it to deselect the item you clicked first so it goes back to frame 1 and isSelected = false. The problem I'm having is that it selects the first item when you click it. But when I click another the first stays on frame 1 and isSelected stays true. So if I click all 8 in a row they all become selected.[code]I thought this. called on every movieclip of the Rebound class?So instead of this. if there is something that can choose all of the movieclips that belong to the Rebound class I think I could use that instead. If there is such thing.

I've just got back to webbydesign and Flash after a long break! I'm bit concerned about the fact that many public computers do not have updated Flash player in their browsers and therefore can't show content designed with CS4 correctly, or at all!
I can't check this myself right now, but if I select ie. Flash version 8 in publish settings using Flash CS4, will this disable all version 10 functionality while designing my site? As far as i know, v10 supports 3D and whatnot fancies, that I don't need atleast for now.
