View 2 RepliesI'm trying to build a webmap application in flex. For this, I've got a fxg-file which represents the maps. It's in a also there are some elements, like POIs, text etc., in this group. I zoom the with scaleX and scaleY, this works just fine for the map. But the problem is: All children zoom also. I don't want this. They should stay the same place on the map and the same size.
Heres some code the as function

I scripted a DropShadowFilter to render on my Movie Clip. The MC just consists of static text and its using the Tween class to move on the screen. Can't figure out why its not showing up. I'm using the same method on another movie clip that is just images, and works fine. Not generating any errors either.
Code:
import flash.filters.*;
var tds:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(3,90,0x000000,40,3,3,1,3,false,false,false);

I am working on a rollover mapping like page for an instructional demo. Basically, the user rollovers clickable areas and a dynamic text box popups explaining what the link's utility is.
I have all the text dynamically set, there are styles for the text box (ie borders and padding) and then a drop shadow filter applied. However, upon viewing the SWF file the drop shadow does not seem to work consistently. OnRollOut it doesn't always do so and upon OnRollOver a different hotspot the dropshadow will duplicate. The duplicating of the dropshadow will either continue to do so or the OnRollOut will remove the dropshadow and reset the text box as it should.

Is there a way to apply, say, a DropShadowFilter to the text within a TextInput component in Flex 3 without affecting the component itself?
View 1 RepliesHow can I make a rollover, where when you mouse over, a scripted drop shadow appears using the DropShadowFilter?
View 10 RepliesI'm running into an issue where, if the dynamic text field I create wraps and autoSizes to 2 lines or more, the last disappears (sometimes partially). However, this only happens when I apply a DropShadowFilter to it. If I don't apply the drop shadow filter, it renders correctly. Note that whether or not the text renders correctly, flash seems to know that the text has wrapped and autosized, as this is how i assign the Y position of the second text field below it. See code below:

When i put a dropshadowfilter on a dynamic textfield with html-content, the links (a href) stop working.The textfields rotate in flash 3D space so they have a transformmatrix applied to them. Could this be the reason? Anybody had problems with html-links and dropshadowfilter applied to the textfield? it makes no difference if you put the filter on the textfield itself or the movieclip container around it.

View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:

In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't.

I have a number of transpaente PNG's that are loaded into MovieClips they are various different shapes on a transparent background. The problem is, when I add rollover actions to them, the active area is the entire Mc, alpha and all. I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to make it only active in the area where the png is not transparent. I tried, duplicating it and using it to mask it's self, but the active area is still the same.

View 9 RepliesI have a mutli-swf project where it makes a lot of sense to exclude the core set of classes from SWFs that will be loaded later in the program flow.I do this using the "excludeXml" option of the mxmlc compiler.It "appears" to work like a charm, BUT
on IE6/IE7 on Windows, I consistently get VerifyError #1014 when loading the SWFs that were compiled with this option. Oddly, not when cache has been cleared, but otherwise every time.
I am trying to use AsDoc on the code of one of my projects in flash. Some of the classes that I use inside the code are "exported for actionscript" classes from my FLA file. Of course the AsDoc compiler complains that those classes are not defined anywhere. Does anyone know how to make it ignore these class types?
View 1 RepliesI've got a Flex TileList which has an ArrayCollection as its data provider. The ArrayCollection is used elsewhere in the application so modifying the base data is not possible.

Is it possible to exclude these items from the TileList rendering?
I have an event firing that shows progress in a video:
[Code]....
What I'm trying to do is to send a notification to the server every five seconds, to indicate progress. I can round the seconds down to nearest integer using Math.floor. Then I can use modulus to get every fifth second. What I'm not seeing is how not to send a repeat for (e.g.) 5, since 5.02, 5.15, 5.36 etc. will all qualify.

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?
