View 1 RepliesI want to create a custom list in Flex for an interface prototype. The list is supposed to have an image and 3 text fields. This is what I have done so far, the control displayed is what I want. But, when I click on one of the items, the item does not appear (visually) to be selected. I was not sure how I would implement this.
Here is my code so far:
<s:List width="400" height="220"
dataProvider="{arrColl}"
alternatingItemColors="[#EEEEEE, white]">
<s:itemRenderer>

How can i disable the text selection abilities and such of flash TextFields (so they act like labels)?
View 1 RepliesIn Flash Builder, for objects, properties, variables and such where your cursor is on it, the editor highlights all instances of that name in the code with a grey box. This can be very distracting and I was wondering if there was a way to turn it off or if there is a hot key to disable it.Another things that is very distracting are the mouse hover popups, although apparently there's no way to disable those :

I want to disable (and look disabled) some rows in a spark datagrid. I found this answer to stop selection which is greatIn flex, is there a way to capture and optionally cancel a row selection event in a DataGrid?
But I want in addition to show that the particular row is not selectable. Ideally I want to have some sort of overlay but I am not sure if that is possible. My alternative solution is to change the text color to grey for the unselectable row. Looking at the datagrid renders they all seem to be column based. I looked at skinning potentially (overriding the alternating color property) but this just sets the background property and not the text color.
Flex 4: mx|tree - How can I disable items selection? I want to disable the hover and selection colors so when a user selects an item it's background won't change color. how is that possible.

i got a s:List with a dataprovider and a custom itemrenderer. now my itemrenderer has a button within.

is there any solution to disable the "list" selection functionallity but keeping the items within the list enabled / clickable?

I'm currently trying to work out a method to highlight specific areas of text within a dynamic text field at runtime. The method I've been toying with so far has been the use of CSS highlighting, but have not seemed to have any luck thusfar. What I'm attempting to do is to illustrate, to students, sections within a passage of text pertaining to correct methods of source referencing (source in terms of bibilographical references), and so am essentially trying to change the background colour of sections of text specified at runtime.Here's some code I've thrown together to test the CSS theory:
PHP Code:
var highlightstyle = 'span.highlight { background-color:yellow }';var txt = '<p><span class="highlight">highlighted text</span> no highlighted text<span class="highl

I noticed that if you highlight the text with your mouse multiple times really fast, the text will sometimes dissapear. whats up with that?
You have to be fast in order to initiate this bug, click and highlight and do it multiple times really fast.
They are dynamic textfields of type TextField.
I want to use it for what seems like a fairly simple application, but I am having a terrible time finding any tutorials that address this specific need. I've been through basic "how to us Flash CS5" training but I'm having trouble making the connection between the skills taught and what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a static paragraph of text - black on a plain white background. I would like each sentence to highlight with a yellow box behind it as the audio for that sentence is read. I would like a user to be able to hear the entire passage, but also be able to click on individual sentences and hear them separately.
I have some input boxes and when I type some text and then try to highlight the text by dragging the mouse across the text... the text is not highlighting.It is actually highlighting it .. but the highlight color is invisible. Doesnt show at all

The movie I am working on has a dynamic text field which I setup and format in the constructor of the ActionScript 3.0 class code for the movie - I am working with CS3 Flash. I do not reformat the text field anywhere in the code after the constructor.The text displays in the text field perfectly as long as I do not highlight the text when running the movie.
If I highlight the text in the text box as if I were going to copy and paste, the next time text is written to the text field the font type and size changes. The only way to reset the font formatting is to restart the movie.
Is there a solution or workaround? Of course I can reformat the text everytime I write new text to the textfield, but during the course of the movie text is rewritten to the textfield many times.

View 2 RepliesThis is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?
So the real problem is the lack of an onReleaseOutside function. I found some examples of how to bypass this during a drag function but it was not applicable for a text input.The problem is that when a user selects some text in textinput and mouses off the application area and then mouses up, I'm getting a problem that the textinput keeps thinking that the mouse down is actively selecting text in the textinput and continually overwrites the characters being entered in the textinput. in the search bar of the live store on the page, type some text, then highlight it all and don't let up on the mouse until you are outside the store.I finally hacked some junk together so I can tell if the mouse goes off the stage using some code like.
var x = stage.mouseX;var y = stage.mouseY;if(x < 0 || y <0 || x >stage.stageWidth || y > stage.stageHeight)I'd like to just make the textinput stop thinking it should be highlighting text so that even if the user scrolls out of the applet and mouses up that the text input still overwrites what is in the search bar and functions as normal.
We are working on a small project. The movie asks you to point out an animal, then when you point it out, it enlarges it and tells you what it is using a text box as well as a voice clip. We want to make the movie bilingual. So the splash screen will have the choice "English" and "Espaeol". If the user chooses english and then clicks an animal we want the item to be identified in english. So the english text box and english sound clip to show up. if the choice is spanish we want the item identified using spanish text and voice. Heres is the AS i have so far and it works beautifully. This is from before we decided to incorporate Spanish. As it is I have the text and voice on each individual MC timeline.
ActionScript Code:
//this is to bring each animal to the front when clicked but serves to turn each MC into a button
var animals : Array = [pig_mc, chicken_mc, rabbit_mc, donkey_mc, sheep_mc, horse_mc, goat_mc, frog_mc, duck_mc, cow_mc]
for (var i:int = 0; i< animals.length; i++){
animals[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,bringToFront);
animals[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mc_play);
[Code] .....
Is there a way to set a flag when the spanish button is pressed? For example, pressing the spanish button will set spanish to true, and I could add some AS when a frame is reached that said something along the lines of:
if spanish=true play sound cow_esp else play sound cow_eng
