ActionScript 3.0 :: ComboBox That Removes Selected Item In Drop Down List?
Mar 30, 2011
Because of screen size, I must ensure we're only displaying necessary data to the user.I have a drop down box that contains only 5 items and I would like that when an item is selected, it doesn't appear in the drop down box (since technically it's showing twice, once at the top as the selected item and once in the list). how I would achieve this? I tried using a custom CellRender and overriding the "set selected" function to call this.visible = false if selected is true, but that simply hides the item but does not remove it from the layout of the drop down list.
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.
Flash documentation says this is possible, but cb.selectedItem={label:'labeltext',data:'data'}; is a no go for me. Maybe I'm missing something obvious? Setting selectedIndex works great, but this should work too.
When I select an item from the comboBox-list the selected item stays blank(visually) but the comboBox-list remains populated and change-event keeps firing.
This happens when I embed fonts and modifies or removes items from an existing combobox.
Here's the code that causes the anomoly: comboBox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", fontFormat); comboBox.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
I have a combobox with arrayCollection dataprovider, it selects nothing at start, but i see the first object label as selected, i want to add select text, as first option that selects nothing, just to indicate that the user didn't select an option yet.
I am using a combobox for the us states, link. The label is set to the full name of the state, while the value attribute holds the abbreviation. What I want to do is to get the selected item's value. So I tried combo.selectedItem.value and combo.selectedItem.@value, but neither of them worked.
I've just recently started out using Flash Builder and have a question surrounding states. In fact I'm not entirely sure it is related to states but read on and I hope it will become clearer. I currently have a custom component that contains 3 comboboxes. This resides in a TabNavigator component. The TabNavigator consits of 5 pages (Tabs). The custom container holding the comboboxes should display the same selected data across all Tabs. ie. If I am in Tab1 and select an item from one of the comboboxes then click on Tab2 I need to mirror the combobox's selection in Tab2.
Isn't there a better way to accomplish this?[code]...
All I want to do is make sure that when I update the item that the comboBox is pointing to internally, that it's selectedIndex also update so that the label within the ComboBox reflects the new value.
I have a combobox that act as autosuggestion for a search application. Search function is getting triggered by a search button. I also want to trigger the search function either when the item in combobox is double or single clicked. Code:
I have a ComboBox with a label function like this one:
private function fieldLabelFunction(item:Object):String { return resourceManager.getString('dashboard',"SS." + item); }
When I change locales, the labels display correctly in the ComboBox's dropdown list, or if I change a selection. However, the currently selected item's label doesn't refresh at first. Is there a way to force the labelFunction to get called again?
I just want to acquire the existing label from the currently selected item in a ComboBox. I populated it with a DataProvider with a list of strings and it will not allow me to get the currently selected label, especially if I input a new one, not included in the DataProvider
I'm having a problem with getting the value of an item that the user selects in my mobile Flex application. When I select an item from the list I place that item into an ArrayCollection. But when I check the value (trace()), the value is [object Object] and I can't seem to access the actual value of the object. Here is what I am doing:
private var selectedPlayers:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); private var numOfPlayers:int; ... //check if item is not already in selected players list
I have a list with custom item renderers. What I would like is when one of the list items is selected to position another control OUTSIDE the list to the same vertical position as the selected item.
It works well except when the selected item is rolled over. When the selected item is rolled over, it changes the color from red to light-blue. I want the selected item to stay red even when it's rolled over, but haven't found a way to achieve this.
I'm setting selected element in s:List component with Actionscript, it works, but List doesn't scroll to selected item -- need to scroll with scrollbar or mouse. Is it possible to auto-scroll to selected item
In Flex 4 (beta 2), I have a list control populated from an XMLListCollection. What I would like to do is when an item is selected in the list, use a custom item renderer on the selected item as well as the item that appears just prior to the selected item in the list.
I am using a spark list control, but I am open to alternate components if the solution makes sense.Here is the strucutre of the xml used to populate the XMLListCollection
I change an item in Spark List. The item then moves to a different index in the list since I keep the List's dataProvider sorted. However, the selectedIndex stays where the item used to be. I want the List's selectedIndex to still be on the item that changed.
I have prepared a simplified test case for my question. It will run instantly in your Flash Builder if you put the 2 files below into a project.I'm trying to display a List of strings and a confirmation checkbox in a popup:In the real application I dispatch a custom event with the string selected in the list, but in the test code below I just call trace(str);My problem: if I use click event, then the window closes, even if I click at a scrollbar (the !str check below doesn'twhen an item had been selected in previous use). And if I use change event, then the window doesn't close, when I click on the same item as the last time.riting a custom item renderer and having a click event handler for each item seems to be overkill for this case, because I have strings in the list.Test.mxml: (please click myBtn few times - to see my problems with click and change)
I am using a List with an ArrayCollection as a DataProvider. The list uses ComboBox as Item Renderer itemRenderer="mx.controls.CheckBox"I would like to bind the values in the List.You have a list with several comboboxes, and those values are loaded dynamically from an ArrayCollection.The ArrayCollection contains Objects with a boolean property for which I should bind the True/False values selected in the comboboxes.
I would like to populate a combobox from XML file in Flash. Then, when a list item of combobox is pressed then thumbnail image of that particular category is being loaded in a movieclip from XML file.
I spent a hard time to achieve this, but there is no success.
I used this code so far to accomplish this task.
Code: var myXML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite = true; myXML.onLoad = function(loaded){
I have a combo box on the stage in a main SWF. when the user selects an item in the dropdown list a child SWF is launched into level0 using loadMovieNum and data is left behind using _global variables for the child SWF to use. this works fine and well. but inside the new child SWF that is launched is a button that takes you back to the previous main SWF with the ComboBox. its done using the same method loadMovieNum into level0. and the main SWF loads but you cannot open the ComboBox. it will not drop down. the halo green color on hover over is there and it gets darker when you click, but the list doesn't drop down. here is some code that I think may be significant to the situation...
I have a List with an item renderer and would like to enable drag-and-drop onto the items in the list, rather than adding the data to the list. Is it possible to find the item that is being hovered over when dragging?
I am trying to build a dropdown list of fonts with each item in the list being written in its font ("Arial" is in arial, "Comic Sans" is in Comic Sans, etc.). What is the best way to do this? Here is the latest code that I have attempted:
I have a menu with many sub menus. I need to change the color of the selected button and then move on to the sub menu. My menu is horizontal and now it's not obvious the path that you follow.
