Flex :: Spark Form Not Showing Up In Flashbuilder 4
Jun 9, 2011I am going through the flex in a week training and I'm trying to use the Spark form in Flashbuilder 4, but it does not appear in the components windows. When I drag a form from there it is an mx form control. The project is set to use the 4.5 sdk and I can even create the tag in the code view, but when I do that is doesn't show up in the designer... How can I get the spark form control to either show up in the designer when created in the code view, or get the control to show up in the components window so I can drag it in?

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: FlashBuilder: Android / Flex Components + Full Screen Graphic Possible?
Dec 30, 2010I'm new to flash and interested in multi-platform graphical game development. I've installed the Flash Builder Burrito test version and want to develop a full screen Android graphical game with Android-Flex components (like buttons etc.).
a) Is it possible to have a full graphical screen and then overlay Android-Flex components (buttons etc.) or ist only possible to integrate a graphical screen within a Flex components app so that Android/Flex components have to been outside the screen and so no full graphical screen overlayed with Android/Flex components is possible?
b) If full graphical screen + Android/Flex components is possible: which project type have I to choose: File->New->Flex Project or File->New->ActionScript Mobile Project?
c) Are the components I can choose to design my Flash-Android project Android-like Flex components or are they real Android components?
Flex :: Embedding Fonts In Mx And Spark Components
Jun 9, 2011I'm trying to embed fonts in my app. All is mostly well but for the itemRenderers in my AdvancedDataGrid. Adobe's documentation claims that [code] however, don't mention anything for ADGs, and setting defaultDataGridItemRenderer to either FTEDataGridItemRenderer or FTEAdvancedDataGridItem Renderer doesn't seem to do the trick.
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Attach Camera To Spark.components.VideoDisplay?
Nov 14, 2010I'm using Flash Builder and created a spark-application Flex project that will stream video from the local camera. If I use mx.controls.VideoDisplay; there is no problem since it has attachCamera(camera) method. But Spark's VideoDisplay component does not have that method. I know I can use mx controls inside a Spark app but I want to know:
What is the real difference between spark.components.VideoDisplay and mx.controls.VideoDisplay?How do I attach camera to spark. components.VideoDisplay?Is there any advantages if I go with spark (since it's newer to mx library)?
EDIT: In the documentation this is mentioned: "Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.components.VideoPlayer class as an alternative to this class. (mx.controls.VideoDisplay)"

Flex :: Moving Spark.components.Application's ControlBar To Its Bottom
Sep 10, 2011How can Application's ControlBar be moved to its bottom in Flex 4.5 ?
The Adobe doc says only:
By default, the ApplicationSkin class defines the control bar area to appear at the top of the content area of the Application container with a grey background. Create a custom skin to change the default appearance of the control bar.
So I look at spark.skins.spark.ApplicationSkin and there is a controlBarGroup (does it hold the ControlBar contents?), but I don't know how to move it from top to the bottom.
Flex :: Change The Title Bar Height Of Spark.components.Panel?
Mar 26, 2012I'm creating a log-in box for my Flex application. However, I'm required to apply a specific design to this box that I have to change the title bar height.
The component I'm using is spark.components.Panel. I just can't find the property of this 'Panel' component to change the feature.

Mar 27, 2012The class 'Button' in package mx.controls has the style 'paddingLeft' and 'paddingRight'. But now I don't want to use this old Halo theme anymore, I'm moving everything to Spark.
However, I can't find these padding styles in spark.components.Button, and the documentation [URL] doesn't show that spark Button has those styles.
Flex :: Create Skinnable Components In MXML Using Spark Component Architecture?
Oct 14, 2010There are lots of examples of how to create skinnable components in AS3 using the new Spark component architecture, however I've yet to find any such examples using MXML.What I'm mainly referring to is defining the skin parts and skin states. It seems as though the SkinPart metadata is supposed to be associated with properties and as such can't be used in MXML, is this correct?
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Remove Hover / RollOver Effects Globally On Spark Components?
Oct 28, 2010My goal is to remove all hover feedback from the UI. The motivation is for testing touch interface prototypes and not wanting users to have the queue of interactivity when the mouse hovers which they won't have with a touch interface.
I have a partial solution but it has two problems:
Requires an event handler on each component. Flickers on hover.
protected function ui_suppressHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var b = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;

Flex :: Unable To Select Item In Spark.components.List After De-selection
Dec 21, 2010I have a spark List defined as:
<s:List id="symbolList" dataProvider="{symbolListCollection}" change="symbolNameChangeHandler(event)"></s:List>
With the change handler defined like this:
protected function symbolNameChangeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
symbolList.validateProperties();
changeSymbolView(symbolList.selectedItem);
}
and symbolListCollection as an ArrayList filled with Strings.
At first, the change event works fine, and I get what I expect.
However, if I Ctrl-click on the selected item, to de-select it, i am unable to ever select an item again.
When I click on something to try to select it, the change event DOES fire, however, the ItemChangeEvent has both oldIndex and newIndex set to -1
Flex :: Detect Mouse Click On Spark.components.List Items But Ignore Arrow Keys
Sep 8, 2011I have a custom component, containing a List displaying items from an XMLListCollection:
[Code]....
Also if I click twice, only 1 mouse click will cause my custom event to be dispatched (because obviously there is no change between the items). how to make my List only react to mouse clicks? UPDATE: Yes, I've tried using "change" event for the List before, but then I have the problem that it is fired, even if the List scrollbar is clicked.
Flex :: Test Spark Components In FlexUnits Visual Test Environment
Sep 17, 2011I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.

ActionScript 3 :: Events Between Spark And Custom Components
Nov 30, 2010We are building an interface for a game. The interface has a tabbed menu at the bottom of the screen, with each tab displaying different aspects of an object (called a node). When you click on one of these parts, it becomes the focus, and we download it's details in XML, including all it's sub-nodes and parent nodes and then update the tab display accordingly, or at least that's what we'd like to happen.
What we have:
MainInterface.mxml
<s:Application...
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var currentNode:Node = new Node();
[Code] .....
We tried adding an event listener for "selectNode" to the dashBoard:SkinnableContainer you see see above, but it didn't seem to want to take. We suspect this is because dashBoard is from a spark component and the dispatcher for "selectNode" is on of our own custom components, but we weren't sure... in any case that's what the code assist seemed to indicate as we had to write it in by hand. We're not sure how to pick up the Events in FlashBuilder 4's debugger, so we're having trouble working out where it's going wrong.
Basically, when someone clicks on the label of a child or parent node (that is displayed by the itemRenderer), we want a URLRequest sent to our website, with the url specific to the node clicked on. We then want a URLLoader listening for the return which will update public variable 'currentNode' when xmlDownloaded is called by the loader. If you could clarify how the click event should be dispatched, what should be listening for it then sending the URLRequest and where the URLLoader that is listening for the xml data to return should be that would solve our problems.
Actionscript 3 :: Updating View Spark.components.List?
Sep 23, 2010I am using a List component inside an itemRenderer. The main user interaction involves dragging an item from the List in one renderer and dropping it in another. My problem: When the data object is updated I want the Lists' height to be modified according to the number of objects in the dataprovider(dp), which is passed to the List from the data object. Now I have tried to invalidate the display of the List, refresh its dp and have tried putting this line assets.length > 0 ? assetList.percentHeight = 100 : assetList.height = 10; in other event handlers, such as dragdrop handlers, collection event handlers for the dp etc. I have also tried refreshing the dp for the List component that is using this renderer. The view does eventually get updated but only if I resize the list, or use the scroller or when I begin dragging a new List item but never after the drop.

The Click-Event works for both components. But the DoubleClick-Event is only handled by the Panel-Component.
Actionscript 3 :: Cancel Editing In Halo/Spark TextInput And TextArea Components?
Jun 2, 2011In the AdvancedDataGrid component, when you are in Edit mode in a cell, you can hit the Escape key to cancel editing (i.e. return to the previous value in the cell).I had expected the same behaviour while in Edit mode in both the Halo and Spark TextInput and TextArea components, and was surprised to find out that this is not the case.I looked at the attributes of all four components to see if this is something that I need to configure, but couldn't find anything.

Flex - Get Settings/properties Into A Flex/FlashBuilder Application?
Feb 28, 2012I have a Flash Builder application which uses URLs within its code and I want to be able to change these URL values without having to recompile my application, i.e. I want to have a plain text file I can edit which is used to populate these URL values when the application begins. I've worked out what feels like a kludge to do this with ResourceBundles, but maybe there's a better or more straightforward way to go about this.

View 3 RepliesFlex :: Transitioning From FlexBuilder 3 To FlashBuilder 4?
Mar 24, 2010It's growing pains time again. Some of our stuff requires FlashBuilder 4 and some still requires FlexBuilder 3. Both are installed OK, and no projects use both IDEs. The trouble is, when I go back to work on a FlexBuilder 3 project it takes freakin' forever to build and I get weird errors like these: This doesn't seem to cause any identifiable problems except to throw up a modal dialog at various points in the build process, forcing user interaction. But I do notice that memory fills up fast in FB3 and generally FB3 starts behaving strangely and ultimately quits once it gets up over 700MB.
This is only a temporary bridge situation until we get all projects into FB4, but "temporary" could mean weeks if not months. Does anyone have any advice for how to get through this bridge period? Is there anything I can do to make these two IDEs work and play well together? Failing that, does anyone know what "java.lang.String" is the "reason" for the problem? Does Eclipse have a resource bundle somewhere that is getting corrupted when i go back and forth between the two?
