ActionScript 3.0 :: ComboBox In Child SWF Fails To Open
Apr 28, 2009
I have an swf with a comboBox with three simple values. When I bring up the swf by itself it works fine. When I try to bring up the swf by loading it from another swf, I get a TypeError: Error 1009 "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference, when I try to open its dropdown. If I add a ComboBox to the parent SWF's library the error goes away and everything works fine. Although I have a fix, I have several child swf's that I don't always know what components are in them.
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
I need to pass a lot of big variables to a browser window, but that window must be opened with Jscript, so it haves fixed size, no scrollbars, no menu and so on.Well, the Jscript window.open fails when i pass too long variables or too many of them. (I think it's for the querystring length, seems to be ok if I pass less variables or shorter ones);here it's my code
on (release) { /*set lot of variables to send*/ jid_artista = _parent._parent.ida;
It rarely happened, I use a flash in exe type to access url in local server. It usually success to access the url. When it fail to access the url, open the ie to access the browser. the url works. After using browser, flash success to access the url. The url would return the JSON content. I use URLLoader to load url, and the return error is no responding when it happen.
If the error happen, it would not access the url even restart the computer.
I have a problem to determinate if my combobox is open or not. I've seen the same topic but that solution : if(combobox.dropdown != null && combobx.dropdown.visible) doesn't work for me. It is always true. I can't find any component who is responsible for this such a simple operation.
I am trying to add a comboBox to a sprite as a Child. For some reason after adding the comboBox to the sprite, the height of the sprite gets bigger. I attached a copy of the code below. Is this a bug?
When a combobox is elected in the flex app, there is a quick flicker, then the combobox needs to be selected again in order to get the dropdown to open. After that, the dropdown works as expected, but only while selecting the control subsequent times while on the form. Reloading the form requires the double selection again.
I have a Flex 4 app with an external ItemRenderer inside of a DataGroup for a repeating form. The DataGroup dataprovider is an ArrayCollection (coll_sites). In the documentParent I have a trio of comboBoxes (Status, Year, Area) that trigger a filter function that operates directly on coll_sites.The itemRenderer has a series of textInputs and comboBoxes. Three of these comboBoxes are tied to fields in coll_sites (again, Status, Year and Area) that are filtered by the aforementioned parentDocument comboBoxes.The problem I am having is that in the itemRenderer when the field is one of the filtered ones, the itemRenderer ComboBox will not close. If it's not filtered, there is no problem. I have confirmed that the problem ComboBox updates the ArrayCollection appropriately, it just won't close unless another Item in the dropdown is selected.[code]In the ItemRenderer code above, the ComboBox for STATUS works exactly as it should but YEAR stays open after changing. In my full code, I have three such filtered fields and all three behave exactly the same. The other six fields which are not filtered, close appropriately.
How do you force Combobox dropdowns to stay open even when other Alert boxes appear. Looking at what to subclass from mx.Combobox, there doesn't seem to be much that i can do to short of implementing an entire combobox from scratch.
I have a main.swf that loads contact.swf; contact.swf contains a combobox which works if contact.swf is ran alone, but if I load it through main.swf, the combobox fails.I did quite a bit of research, I'm using
import fl.controls.ComboBox; AND i'v dragged an instance of the comboBox on the stage of both main.swf and contact.swf.
i am trying to install a copy of Flash macromeadia 2004 mx profesional. the software installs fine when i go to open it it apears in the dock and nothing happens. right clicking on the icon in the dock the program says it's not reasponding.
on the box on my flash it syas made for mac osx 10.2.6 and my mac is running mac osx 10.6.7
I need to access the combobox child (textinput and button) without creating a customize component. I know the best practice is to create a custom component but still need to access the combobox child like textinput and listen for their event.
I am using Flex AS3, i have a accordian with two tabs each tab contains some text boxes and i am trying to access these child controls from button event handler which resides outside the accordian, Problem is these controls are null until i open the tabs of accordian.
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
I need to made a Browser windows before that i open the Flash movie, like this one: [URL] So i need somme kind of pop up to run when somme one opens the site, and then see the movie.
i have problem with swfLoader in flex, when i close following code in click method i can easly add many swf to main application
<mx:VBox id="content" width="100%" height="100%" ></mx:VBox> public function doIT():void {[code]....
when i close adding those swfs in loop i have the same error, it looks like child apps couldn't access certain objects that were instantiated by another child app, so what can i do?
I have a movieClip with one frame on the timeline containing one child whose instance name is "myContent"I am using this function to swap "myContent" with any number of possible class instances.
I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies
I have a component mxml file in which i have a view stack, on click of a button i navigate to the first child, now i need to navigate to the second child during onclick of a button present in the second child. All the childs are component files included within the view stack. How could this be done, Sample code is present below,
[code]...
Now in my offering.mxml file if i try to access navigationViewStack i am getting an error stating 'Access of undefined property navigationViewStack.
I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine
i'm new to AS3 and i was wondering what is the best way to remove a child at a point. i tried Holder.removeChild(Holder.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(exampleX, exampleY))[0]); however that returned ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
