I'd like to have a scrollable list of text, an image to the left of each item and I'd like to do this with xml.I've been searching round but I can only find out how to import one or the other not both in one scrolling element.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a flash app where the site owner can simply put images in a folder, and the flash app finds all the images in the folder, and will display a slide show from them.
Is there any way to list all files in a folder, so I can load them without prior knowledge of their names? I'd prefer not to have to tell a dumb customer what an XML file is and how to edit it, and also the images need to keep their original names so I can get titles for the images from the names.
It seems like it should be a simple concept. I need a vertical list. This list has an image with a checkbox and pathname of that image underneath it. The user should be able to check the checkboxes of the images they want to appear in their "shopping cart". The images, checkbox label, and list are populated by an XmlList. How can I do this in Flex 3.5 and Actionscript and have a button that when clicked, display a list of the checked items??
View 1 RepliesI've been working on an image slider off and on for a month using different tutorials.I can't figure out how to link the images with the link attribute from the xml file.

I am trying to create a thumbnail viewer using a list component. I used list.cellRenderer to display a test image and it displays that image about 50 times vertically down the list component. how to use this component with images?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a list of images dynamically that I want to mask.
This is the script I'm using:
for (i=0; i<10, i++) {
img_MC = createEmptyMovieClip("image" + i, 3*1);
img_MC.loadMovie("image" + i + ".jpg);
}
The images are loading fine but I can't get it to mask
how can I a mask Dynamically every image on the list?
I'm working on a client's website. I use loaders to load various images and then I add them sequentially to the display list. These images include a big (BIG, ie, 6000x1500 , 220kb image) background image.. All of the images being loaded are PNG.. The site is fine and the images are fine/show up on a majority of browsers. However, after trying to view the flash file (at a .swf extension -- not embedded into html yet) on IE6 and on Chrome on only ONE of my laptops, the background .png does not appear and does not seem to have be loaded at all.
I haven't assigned loader listeners (i.e, there is no preloading).. Does the loader class have some sort of size restriction? I think not because it is working on some browsers and not on others. Otherwise, how could the actual PNG be at fault? I've temporarily fixed the problem by importing the background into my library and calling it from the actionscript but I would definitely prefer to load it dynamically or at least know why it is not happening as expected on some browsers/in some cases.
I am an inexperienced user of Flash CS4 Pro (v10.0.2). I am attempting to use the List component with ActionScript 3.0 to make a different image display when a user clicks each item in a list. I did find a tutorial that showed me how to make different text display using a dynamic text box and the following ActionScript:
[code]...
...where My List is the instance of the List component and ListText is the dynamix text box. In this case, the user clicks an item in the list, defined by the label value in the dataProvider parameter of the List component, and text displays as defined in the data value in the dataProvider parameter.
However, as I mentioned to start, what I really want to do is make images display instead of text. Can anyone provide me the steps to do this?
I have a List and the item renderer displays an image. Whenever you scroll the list, and the item renderer refreshes, it redownloads the image. Causing there to always be a delay. Is there some way of caching it so it doesn't have to redownload every time causing a delay in showing the image every time you scroll the list?
View 3 RepliesI want to reuse the same loader to cycle through a list of images that will be placed in a rotating banner. My code can be found here:[URL]..The error I am getting is the following:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Is there anything that seems offensive in there?
I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.
I have a renderer that looks like this:
[Code]...
Loading thumbnails using this method works perfectly. The issue happens when you scroll the List.
I make RSS reader in flash. I have a text field and when I place RSS text and images in that text field I need to have a text in the new line after picture. But now I have image from the left and text from the right.

I'm trying to implement an 'add text to list' feature on an interactive map I'm working on. Here is the run down on how it is supposed to work:
-User selects dot on the map.-A speech bubble gets brought up in the corner of the map application with the address and a picture. (These speech bubbles are movieclips from the Library that are loaded on to the stage when the user selects the dots) -This is where the user has the option to select a CheckBox inside the speech bubble movieclip, which will then update a list inside a movieclip (named 'backpack') which is offstage, but on the main timeline.
Here is an example of the code I am trying to work with: I have gotten it to work, but not when dealing with unloaded movieclips and what not.

View 3 RepliesSince my original post got moved to Components thread, but no one is responding and the majority of the people on the Forum are here, I'm gonna repost it here. I have an AS created List Component that is dynamically populated using a dataProvider populated from an XML document. When I addChild to the main timeline, everything works. When I addChild it into a MovieClip, the list shows up with the appropriate number of rows, but no text.[url]...
View 0 RepliesJust switched over to CS3, still adjusting to the many many changes. How on earth do you change the text color styles of a List component in AS3? I know it was easier to directly access the .color, .rollOverColor properties in AS2, but I can't find *ANY* comparable feature in AS3. I can see how everything else is skinned, by navigating the layers of symbols within the component.

Previously in AS2, to set the style for a List Component when the mouse was over an item you would simple set it with
Code:
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x000000);
I've been trying to find info on how the heck you do this in AS3, cause the above dont work.i've been playing with the following code, but it does not have a rollOver property
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x00FF00;
tf.font = "Andale Mono";
tf.size = 14;
PS, normally when a programing language is changed, is is done at an easing speed, but AHHH! NO!!! not with AS3, it has changed 101%
I have a list control in a component mxml file. I have created a function in main mxml file, I want to input a text string and add it to this list. How can I do that. Currently using this code
public function add(event:MouseEvent):void {
var name:String = mytextinputid.text;
currentState = 'ChatScreen';
mylist.____
}
Note that this function is in main and the mylist list control is in component mxml.
I am trying to add an item to a list and have text display and have a different hidden value when i access selected items. I also need to do this with a loop.
Currently i am trying to add a label and set the labels id to my value. But the list just shows the ID and not the text.
var theLabel:Label = new Label();
theLabel.id = "123";
theLabel.text = "test";
lstLayerList_array.addItem(theLabel);

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 RepliesThe problem with the code below is that TextFormt does not support wordWrap which is upported by TextField(which, unfortunately has no effect on a List component).

lb.align = TextFieldAutoSize. lb.color = 0x000066;
var sqsL:List = new List(); sqsL.rowHeight = 44;
