I have to have a combo box and a list component. I have altered the styling of the list element by altering the elements of the skin. HOwever, the list element for the combox box picks up the same styles that the list component has - and I need them to be different.Is there a way to set just the styles for the list element of the combo box?
View 1 Replies It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I want to skew the combo box in flash as2. Is it possible to do so?
View 8 RepliesCan some one please direct me to a example where a combo box has been inserted in a datagrid using as3 in CS4. I have a idea that it can be done using the cellrenderer, but i am not able to figure out how to achieve it. i tried searching on net but could not find any working example.I am working on a project where there are mutiple rows in the datagrid, and the values of the datagrid item can be changed using the combo box inside it.I have just started on actionscript so not much experience on that part. I have been searching on net for quite few thing and working them out.

I'm working on a flash project, the designer designs UI by Flash CS5 and export the UI as swc file, I use Flex to control the data on the UI.
The designer uses shapes for the UI design, it is easy for him to define the colors and background, but I need this shapes more like a component like Combo box, so I can display the data on those shapes.
Is there any easy way to covert shapes to combo box or the similar operations?

I'm trying to insert some data into my DB from two Combo Boxes in Flash. I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I have no idea how to give the combo box a 'var' value like we do for a regular textfield.

View 1 RepliesI have two text boxes on the same window. They are both set to Arial 14 Regular but they both appear very differently. To see what I am referring to: [URL] and go to the Conversion Tools at the bottom of the page. Click on Surface Finish and type in a value in the two different fields and click calculate. I really don't see anything that could be causing this difference in appearance.
View 2 RepliesIt looks like the default font formatting for the textInput is a bit off. The margin at the top is less than at the bottom.I've tried the setTextFormat, with defaultTextFormat and setTextFormat but it's not doing the trick.

tf.size = 16;
_autoComplete.textField.defaultTextFormat = tf;

I'm using Astra's autoComplete, but I don't think this is restricting it, though there is a slight chance that the field has an override.

View 1 RepliesI need a way to disable the mouse over events for a combo box flash component as it is sitting inside a movieclip (A) on the stage, when I mouse over the movie clip I add a glow to a different mc (B) in the movie. Problem is is that the combo box is preventing the mouse over even in A to occur so B is not 'lighting up'.None of this works as it still appears to register a MouseOver event:
Code: Select allmyComboBox.focusEnabled = false;
myComboBox.textField.focusEnabled = false;

Im a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I am trying to read in XML data and display the lables in a combo box and then display the corresponding data in a text field below. So that when for example "Vintage Red Wine" is selected in the combo box, the description for that wine will then be shown in the textfield below.Most of the code is functional. The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.
Here is my XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wines>

On my website Im trying to display examples of code. Ive been hitting a rather large wall when it comes to flash and how it deals with formatting text.
If I simply load as regular text I get a massive amount of extra white space and lose all my indenting. If I load as htmlText, I can get it to remove most of the white space but not all. I can also get some indenting using htmlText but it only applies to 'paragraphs' as a whole, which is obviously irrelevant with code, and requires me to go back to way too much white space.
Is there anyway I can get flash to load -exactly- what I see in notepad in regards to white space and indenting at the same time?
I am working on a fairly simple form in flash that sends its text input (name, email, subject, and message) to a php file that in turn sends an email containing the inputted text. I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find another case quite like this. Basically I'd like the email sent to just include the inputted text, but it seems that the variables are passing all the text box formatting in addition to the inputted text. I will include my AS, php, and email result below.
AS:
Code:
stop();
messageSent._visible=false;
sendBtn.onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over")

View 1 RepliesI want to make a website in Flash. And the text I want on my page is in an XML file.

This for example. What I want is to display the text and have the heading text to be a bigger size then the "paragraaf" text. And I also want the paragraaf text to be bold. How can I do this ? I can already display the text on my screen so that is not the problem.
I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.
My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.
In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.
Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?
Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up
