I've tried the chromeless script from chromeless.org but it doesn't work in windows XP SP1 and SP2. I need a pop up full screen window as I've designed the whole site with the full screen in mind and if I can't get a pop up, I got to redo everything!! I redid it twice and I'm not going to try the third!! OMG!! Anyone has alternative solutions for this? Or anyone has another version of the chromeless script that works with SP1 and SP2?

I failed to make Alert.show() work in this situation. Seems that there is no alert() either.Is there any way to show an alert prompt (modal or nonmodal) in such a situation without reinventing the wheel?Example AIR tray application skeleton:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

Note the "visible=false" which must be preserved even that this is what's causing the trouble.

View 2 RepliesI have a function that checks for something when the user clicks a button. if that something is found, an alert comes up saying that it has been found and asks them if they would like to allow this to happen, or undo the action that caused the something to be found. the code looks like this:
Alert.show(thisString1, "Conflict: Multiple Projects", 3, this, conflictAnswer);
upon pressing "Yes" or "No", the conflictAnswer function will be called... it looks like this:
private function conflictAnswer(event:CloseEvent):void[code]....

I am trying to style the Alert window on an external file but I get the following warning and the style won't be applied, keep in mind that the Alert is being called from an external AS file as well so the code is not embedded in the MXML.
The CSS type selector 'Alert' was not processed, because the Alert was not used in the application.Type alert in CSS selector 'Alert' must be qualified with a namespace.

View 1 RepliesI want to show PDF in Flex AIR. I have done this with HTML components but the problem is that whenever I view the PDF in Flex HTML component the popup or Alert goes behind the component.
how can I show the Alert on HTML component?
I'm looking for an alternative to native Flash components. They are way to heavy for my needs. I'm looking for something light, simple, still customizable if possible for AS3. I'm specifically looking for combobox, checkbox, radio button.I'm looking for something reliable with support eventually...so basically I'm ready to pay the price of a good alternative.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a popup alert modal window thing with an external class. I have a simple swf set up with just some random sample text, a rectangle, and a button. What I want to happen is for the "alert" class to initialize upon startup of the swf and then when I click the button (instance: btn), the alert will show up. If I get rid of all AS in the swf and set alert as the document class, it shows up just fine, so I think it should be working, but for some reason I get this instead when I try the button function:

I am having an issue where I show an AlertBox message when the user hits ENTER and the focus is in a text area. The pop up works fine, but when the user hits enter the Alert closes as expected, but the TextArea listener receives the ENTER event from the Alert and pops the dialog up again. I have tried a number of ways to catch and eat the event but so far I have not been lucky. Is there way to accomplish this?

I'm building this game, and it was working fine, until I used the menuBar component. It's not code related, 'cause i've commented out the script that does things with the menuBar. If I drag the MenuBar component from the component window, onto my Stage , the game refuses to work. If I deleet it (but keep it IN my library), it still doesn't work!. But if I turn the export settings of the MenuBar off, it works! The classes that i'm using for my game are called Node.as, JawBreaker.as The class I want to use to do something with the menuBar is called GameMenu.as (but that doesn't matter, since I commented the calling of that class out).

View 5 RepliesI had a question Yesterday, and posted in the Flash 8 Section of this forum...well, I have a question now...When I open a Window Component(with a movie clip inside it ...ofcourse) via Popup Manager from the Menu Component, the Window opens up, but I can't go back to the menu and open it. Any suggestions on how?Here is a part of my code (which I believe will summarize the rest of my code):

I have a window component on my main timeline that gets called up on several instances. When the popup window appears, everything looks fine, except that the user can still click on links that are now behind the actual popup window itself. My question is how do I keep those buttons from being active while the popup window is active?
View 2 RepliesI have an flv component in a flash document streaming from a capture card at [URL]
Flash Media Encoder is outputting at 320x240 and the FLV component on the stage is 150x112. The fullscreen button maximizes to the entire screen leaving the 320x240 video stream pixelated and distorted. I want a button to make the FLV component only go 320x240 in a popup window.
I'm working on an app that, from the Main.mxml, opens one or many Window.mxml instances. When it's done I want all windows to be chromeless so the custom controls need to work. In Main I've added applicationComplete="init();" so the init function gets ran, which contains clickhandlers, which makes the buttons work. However, this way of running an init function doesn't seem to be valid for an mx:Window. I can cheat by not using a clickhandler for the minimize and close buttons with a click="this.minimize();", but I don't know of a way like this to make the move work because it's a MOUSE_DOWN event.
Question 1: Is there a way to have such an init function in an mx:Window?
Question 2: What's a good way to make the buttons on the Window instances all work?

The problem i have is that i want to use the ui window component (in order to keep file size down, and it just works well) but i want to use multiple windows on the stage. It was simple to get them to open with PopUpManager.createPopUp and to intialise the close button with deletePopUp(). Now heres the big but i can't get a swapdepths function to work.I have added in an event listener for the close button and the swapdepths but only one fuction will work at a time, ie i can get the swap depth to work but you can't drag the windows or close them, or you can drag and close one window but the other will not do anything until the top one is closed.i know that it's a swapdepth problem but i can't work out where to put the swapdepth in the code to make all fuctions work at once.The code is below
var myq1:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, {closeButton:true, title:"Question 1", contentPath:'q1'});
myq1.setSize(600,450);

View 1 RepliesI found two tutorials that both contain pieces of what i am looking for but i cant seem to figure them out and get exactly what i want. Here is the first one[url]...
In the first one, the general idea is what i am looking for. Except that i want to load a movieclip and not an image. My problem in this one is the button component that is used. I have no clue how to skin or customize the button, and i cant find a good tutorial to help me so i figured it might be easier to just change the actionscript for this. I want to be able to create my own button (instance button) and use that so that when people release that button, the movie clip pops up![url]...
In my application using the window component and dynamically create the movieclip .how to assign this movieclip to window component.
