I am developing a coverflow application where I have populated a data grid from an xml file. Now when I click on the cover flow , it generates a pop up with a result drawn from a random number generate function.This random number matches with the index of the data grid and displays the row in the pop up. I could not access the text inside the row. How to do it?
[Code]...
I have created an renderer to modify the content of one of the columns of the DataGrid.
Code:
package {
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import fl.controls.listClasses.ICellRenderer;
[code]....
but how can i access the parent DataGrid or anything outside of this class ?In Java it can be done, but how can i pass any value to this class. My use case is that i click on a delete button and the row is deleted, impossible to do if i cannot access the parent DataGrid and call methods to work with it.
I have a datagrid with 5 columns. The first column has checkboxs and rest four columns have data from the dataProvider.
I have two relating issues: First: I want the row to get selected when I click on a checkbox, or if i click on multiple checkboxes, every row should stay selected in the datagrid for whose checkbox is selected.
Second: If a row or multiple rows are selected, the corresponding checkbox should get selected too.
My code is given below:
<mx:DataGrid id="dg_trashContent" allowMultipleSelection="true"
verticalGridLines="true"
dataProvider="{trashDataProvider}"
[code].....
I have posted two problems with a custom itemRenderer see this post. My primary Problem is, that it always selects a wrong line (one under the one I select). I now realized that this happens, when I save back the content of the itemRenderer to the dataProvider. If I code this part out, the dataGrid works as expected...

Can't figure this out for the life of me. Its probably something simple, but I can't find any solutions online. Can anyone help a brother out here? All I'm trying to do is assign text to a dynamic text box that is inside a movieclip (loaded from the library using addChild()

I am trying to implement the following :
1> First column of datagrid has a checkbox.
2> Select checkboxes, and then delete the datagrid column.
3> Dynamically, add checkbox when row is added dynamically.
4> Do not show check box if now data in row.
I have created a button symbol in the library that includes adynamic text instance called labelTxt. I've then dragged this ontothe stage to form several buttons called "btn1", "btn2" etc.I want to be able to change the contents of the text on thebuttons dynamically, but I am getting quite a few errors whiletrying to set the text.I have tried using (for example)btn1.labelTxt.text=myString but am getting errors saying that the property isn't defined.uote:1119: Access of possibly undefined property labelTxt througha reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.would skin a Button and use that but there are 3 quitedifferent styles (skins) of buttons on this particular chart, andI'm not sure how to do that with Buttons. And I keep thinking theremust be some easy way to access the labelTxt dynamic text in thebuttons I have created.

I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
After browsing for the images, and selecting them. How can I display a preview of the image in the datagrid? I am able to display the file name, file size, but was unable to display the image. Below are the codes I have written, it is not a complete code but just enough to make it understandable.
// variables used
var list:Array = new Array();

I'm currently looking into selecting and formatting text but I think I need someone to point me in the right direction.What I would like to achieve is this : So after clicking the button: the text "This selected....." should be red. Only red in the output box would be ok too, but preferably in both.
The input text is an input textfield and the output a dynamic textfield.I have been looking into TextSnapshot but this only seems to apply to static text. Using the htmlText property I could input a string with html tags but that's gonna be complicated I guess. Is there any way of achieving this using TextField.setTextFormat() ?
Is it possible to set focus on a text input component that contains text without selecting the text? I want to be able to focus on the component and have the cursor flashing after the last letter in the field.I am currently using:myTi.setFocus();That correctly focuses myTi but it also selects all of the text currently in the field. What would I need to add to just have a cursor flashing at the end of the characters currently in myTi?
View 1 RepliesConsider there are two text field objects:
TextField1="texta";
TextField2="textb";
Output: texta textb Now I want to select from "ta" in TextField1 to "tex" in TextField2. By the drag of a mouse. I know that by conventional methods it is not possible? Is there any other way to achieve this? And I need to highlight the text also.
I 've got a textfield that is inside a movieclip scroller. I've got an issue though, when selecting the text, and dragging down the text moves one notch, is it possible to disable that?
Basically it does it with mouseWheel to, but I've set that on off, so it's ok.
But is it possible to disable it when selecting, too?
The text comes from an XML file, and I suppose that scroll happens because of white space on the XML. I tried disabling white space using AS3 but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a cs3(AS3) datagrid component and I'm tracking which row the user has selected by using ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK to listen for a selection and then event.rowIndex in the handler function and using this index no to select data from the array which was used with the dataProvider. The problem is this. If the user re-sorts the rows using the column headers, this resets the rowIndex (ie the first entry is always row 0) and so this no longer relates back to my array. Is there a way to directly access some or all of the data in the row the user selects?
View 3 RepliesI made an AIR app and enabled it so the user can move it around the desktop where they want. One problem is on a page of textfields, if the user tries to select text (click, drag cursor to select the text) the app drags instead.
Any easy solutions other than having to set up listeners for every textfield and "interrupting" dragging?? (AIR 2.7)
When I use TLF text in CS5 flash seems to use to capacity / I cannot do any clicks for around 10 secs when selecting/deselecting textfield. What could be the reason for flash slowing down so extremely?

Shown in that image is my combobox, populated with data. The problem is that if I set the selectedIndex of the combobox to whatever value is in the corresponding cell, the user can no longer change the value of the combobox.

In my game currently I have a series of UILoaders which can be set to load a specific swf file inside the larger one. What Im trying to do is manipulate the 'child' swf file from the parent- in particular use the goToAndPlay() function. Im pretty sure Ive seen the solution before but I cant find it now.
How make the connection from the UILoader class to its contents as a movieClip?
I'm programming an AS3 application where I'm loading an external SWF file to a movie clip in my stage:
var bgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file.swf");
bgLoader.load(bgURL);
addChild(bgLoader);
My question is this: how can I read a variable inside the embedded swf (probably through the bgURL, but I can't figure out how)

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use a new script that uses XML to dynamically create a menu on the stage. Within the XML, I am establishing a function to use with that button. One button may just link to something on the web while another will simple display/hide a specific movieclip on the stage. I also have another button that I need to use to show any hotspots on the stage. Originally, I had the code on the instance of a static button on the stage and used a loop to get the items on the stage. Now, though, I have this "generic" Object() with a function called showHot. I have been playing around with using _parent, but can't figure out how to get to the items on the stage. All my hotspot movieclips' names start with "hs", so if I can just figure out how to loop through the items on the stage, I can check the names of those items.
