ActionScript 3.0 :: Adjusting The Height Of The Slider Component
Jun 4, 2010
Why can't I adjust the height of the slider component? I created a new component and placed it on the stage, and changed the height of all of the images that comprised this slider (which were movieclips) to a larger size, but it still remains a skinny line when I run the program. I even did this in the Actions section:
mySlider.height = 20; but it seems like the program is ignoring anything that has to do with adjusting the height of the slider. If I try adjusting the width, however, then that works. It makes the line longer when I set the width a larger number. But why is the height of the slider line not being adjusted? No matter what I do, nothing is working. I have searched all over the internet for answers, but I can't find anything.
I have a sound loop that plays perfectly and I have a volume slider that works great. Here's my problem, I need to control a seperate movie clip -an animation- with that same slider (the volume controller).. It needs to adjust the height of this mc up and down... like when the volume goes down, the height of the seperate mc gets smaller and vise/versa..
this seems like a fairly straightforward thing to accomplish, but like I said I'm not all that great at AS...
Is there anyway to change the height of the slider in AS3? (CS3), I've tried changing the actual graphic (of the bar) in the library and no matter how big I make it it's always locked to 13 pixels high.
I am having a little difficulty properly sizing a Scroller component in Adobe Flex/Flash 4. As soon as I add an element to the 'widgetsGroup' VGroup, the scroller's height property resizes to match that of its parent border container, even though the content height of the vGroup may be significantly less than this value. This is a problem because the scroller then 'covers' other elements in the border container. I guess what I am looking for is the scroller height to match the widgetGroup content height until this height exceeds the bordercontainer height, at which point the scroll bar would become visible.
I have a viewstack with 3 items in it. Now my problem is that I want all these components to be of the same size. Its simply enough to do this manually but is there any other way of setting the size for all the components at once?
I want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?
I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent; var mysong = new music(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var myTransform = new SoundTransform(); myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
I am trying to build a interactive slider,in which when user drag the slider up the height of silhouette increases by some fix amount n when user drag the slider down the height of silhouette decreases by some fix amount.the problem i am facing is that when i drag the slider slowly than everything works fine but when i drag the slider faster than the height dont increase or decrease properly.i mean the increment or decrement in the height of silhouette is depending on speed of slider,which i dnt want.
here is the code-
Code: var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(499.65,260,0,240); slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveSlider); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopSlider);
I have created a slider to control the width and height of a movieclip. However the numbers currently go the opposite way I would like them to go. currently if the slider is at the top that counts as 0 because of the y coordinate and the bottom counts as 200. what type of equation would I need to flip this so if the slider is at the top it's 200 and at the bottom it is 0?
I like the slider component that comes with Flash but the parts of it are way too small and I need to use an image for the slider arrow. Anyone know of a good free customizable component? It seems like the individual parts of the built in slider aren't customizable.I really just want a bigger clickable area for everything.
I've got what to small problems when using my slider component.I'm building a small quiz and I am using the slider component to let the user rate their opinion. It'd be great if I could make the slider play the movieclip (to the next quiz questio) when the user has cast their opinion -on mouse up. Is this possible.Also I'm using a 'score' uint variable to collect the polling results but I need this variable to reside on the root of my flash file so that I can add to it from various diffrent movieclips. How can I target the variable from a movieclip.Heres my code:
I have an application that uses all four direction keyboard keys (up, down, left, right), but when I hit the slider on the application with my mouse, I can't use the left and right keys, at least not on the stage, 'cause the slider moves when I hit those keys. I know that this is default with all sliders...but must you remove this with a keyboardEventListener.removeDefault? If so, how do I do it?
First, is this even possible? Inside a function, I want to change the min and max values that the slider component will use. Say for instance, the slider by default has the min set to 100 and the max to 200. Using the slider to scale a graphic, I want to increase the min/mal values.
Can this be done? I've been searching the web for things like ".min.value" and the sort, but can't seem to find anything.
I am trying to use the slider component (aSlider) to control the volume of mySound which is a class called PlaySound. Created an addEventListener for aSlider with a SlideEvent.CHANGE executing a function called changeVolume. Everything else works but I can't seem to get the slider to control the volume of mySound.
import flash.events.Event;import fl.controls.Slider;import fl.events.SliderEvent;import fl.controls.Label; var mySound:PlaySound = new PlaySound ;
how do i set up a Flash CS5 Slider component to trace decimal values, from 0.00 to 10.00 when the slider is dragged? i can't seem to find where i need to set these options to permit decimals.
I have to use Draggable Slider component in my application.I have found one Link but it is not working in FLEX 3.0 Application. I have applied thumbUpSkin, thumbDownSkin, thumbOverSkin, thumbDisabledSkin to my custom Draggable Slider Component still i can't get the slider what i want because this component is working for FLEX 2.0 I want the perfect one that is look on the link given above.
I'm using the slider component, and its working pretty well. I'm just having 1 issue with the enabled state. the Situation: The user has to click and hold the slider down throughout the application. once their session ends the application sends out an event to disable the slider amoung other things. All of the events work fine except for the sliders disabled state.
the Issue: The slider is effectively disabled although because the users has focus on the slider handle before and whilst the disbale event fires the user can still move it around like its really working. Untill you release your mouse it continues to move around.
I'd like to somehow force a release click or something to loose focus on the slider component so it takes on the disbaled state right away once the event is dispatched rather than waiting for the user to release for this to happen.
I have a long movie 22 000 frames at 30 fps so I had to split it into two parts. I have joined them with AS. Can I have a slider that scrubs the timeline from part1 to part2 of my movie? Is this possible?
I am working on adding playback controls. So far, I've been able to achieve a working slider component that scrubs the external swf's timeline. However, it is faulty and the slider thumb doesn't follow move with the timeline of the swf-it just remains still. What I mean by faulty is that sometimes the slider scrubs the swf timeline and sometimes it fails with this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at swfPlayerMain/sliderDrag() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
Any sources for styling skinning the Slider component?ie setting the background invisible or using another graphic in place of the line/rectangle graphic. using another graphic for the thumb. replacing the current graphic thumb has restrictions in dimensions,
I'm creating a new Color object in CS5. Essentially I'm using a component slider and linking the value to 360 hue and converting that value to color hex to pass into a color object which will be assigned to an object (in this text case a standard square movieclip). However, when compiling I keep getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type Number.

I am attempting to reskin the AS3 Slider component to have arelatively "tall" draggable thumb graphic. However, the sliderthumb always seems to be forcibly scaled down to 13x13 regardlessof the size of the graphic. I'm currently using the drag-and-dropcomponent on workspace method, and double-clicked the livepreviewto change the skin pieces.I've tried resizing the contents of the SliderThumb_*Skin(upSkin, downSkin, ...) symbols, the Slider component itself on thestage, and even the placeholders on the double-click skin organizersheet. The height of the thumb object is not directly accessible(seems to be private). The translated position of the 13x13 thumbrelative to the symbol center is preserved correctly... but thesize seems to be stuck at 13x13.
Is there a workaround for this? I've searched and found a fewFlex solutions having to do with overriding a measure() method orextending the class to hard-code a different height, but none ofthe corresponding classes (e.g. one site recommended extendingmx.controls.sliderClasses.SliderThumb) seem to be accessible withinthe Flash AS3 implementation of the components.
by default the flash slider component can be manipulated with the keyboard. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that users can only drag the slider component with their mouse?
I was hoping to use the slider component to control some parameters in a game. However, after clicking on the slider to adjust it, the arrow keys start controlling the slider and stop controlling the character in the game. Is there a way to disable arrow key control of flash's built in slider component?
Maybe I'm googling for the wrong thing but I can't find anything on this.
How can I change the line height of a Label element in Flex?
I have two labels in a VBox and there is quite a lot of white space between them which I would like to reduce. There's no line height property and setting the height property causes overlap.
When I add a ComboBox component into a Sprite, the height of the container is larger than it should.Here's what I mean:
import fl.controls.ComboBox; //add combo box inside a container sprite var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();[code]..........
the height changes from 101 to 104.
UPDATE:I've overwritten the configUI method in a ComboBox subclass, but the measurements are correct all the time. Why does the container height change to 100 ?
