ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Load Styles From Css File At Run Time?
Oct 22, 2009
I am trying to load different styles at run time. In my css files there is only description of the Application tag. If I point to the file in my mxml code: Code:<mx:Style source="name_of_the_file.css"/> it is working. The problem is that I don't know how to do this with as3. I have managed to load datawiththis:Code:StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations( 'name_of_the_file.swf' ); My question is how I can load not swf but .css file like in the example above.

I am creating a SWF file using a MXML file. The MXML file define several MX:Button and uses an external stylesheet to style them. There is a problem I am facing at the moment, I am aiming to style the buttons in a way that is similar to the way I can style HTML button elements. However, I could not achieve such look and feel. For example, I could not find a way to define the color and thickness of the borders for each side of the button (top, bottom, left, right), the background color, the margins, the padding, the width, and the height of the button. Also, selector such as hover, active, focus are not available. I was only able to change the size and the font color of the button successfully.

I have never worked on flash - I used a developer to code a flash based webcam recorder that runs on red5 as backend. He provided me with the swf file and the source like mxml file.This recorder has 3 images and the total size of swf file is 800KB.Now when I load it on my production server - this page takes sometimes upto 10 secs to load. I'm completely lost as to what the reason is and not sure where to start debugging.I'm not sure if the problem is in the flash code or is it that red5 is taking a long time to establish the connection.

I inherited a custom component from TextField. The component needs to know when any of its styles got changed at runtime via setStyle. How would I do that? It's probably obvious but I couldn't find an event or appropriate method to override.

In MXML, there is a Button class which you can instantiate like so:
<mx:Button id="something />
But what if you wanted to dynamically build this in AS3 and add it to the Flex app dynamically, without the use of components (just AS3) and then modify Flex's styles, for example, here you access the Button's properties and set them:
var btn:Button = new Button();
btn.height = 50;
btn.width = 75;
btn.x = 100;
btn.y = 40;
But how would you go about changing the Style, for example:
btn.downSkin = "something";
btn.color = "0xfffff";
I'm sort of starting to lean towards making a flex component in MXMLand than just making it visible true/false, but I like the fact that i create an object in AS3 and then destroy it when I don't need it anymore, than create it again once needed.

I have a custom item renderer which I use for my DataGrid. The DataGrid has specified selectionColor, rollOverColor and themeColor. The Problem is that the custom item renderer, does ignore those colors, and doesn't give any Feedback...
I tried to add the lines:
setStyle("selectionColor", 0xEDF1F7);
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0xE1F5DE);
setStyle("themeColor", 0x3569B0);
But with no effect...

Can a flex module have styles different from the main application which loads the modules? Meaning... can I have a main set of styles for the application, and separate styles for each module.. with each of them rendering their own styles without disturbing the other at runtime?
My specific case:The main application is developed by me... and the modules are developed by different people who want to contribute to the main application. I want to provide some way for each of the module developers to have their own styles for their modules, without touching the main application or its styles.

We have a flex application and in that we have a screen that taking a lot of time to load, almost 60 seconds.Basically the screen is a very big form. I wanted to divide the form as a wizard but the client wants a single form with Vertical Scroll on. Now there are 8 sections in the form, each section has two form elements (so around 16 form components) but i have divided each section into a separate component of its own as some pieces are reused .So the whole screen is like Form - Divided into 8 sections Each Sections is an mxml components contained in a Almost each components contains two form components kept side to side in horizontal flow i.e something like that.This screen is taking hell of a lot of time to load. How should i speed it up, please tell the approaches.Also the main application doesn't take much time to load, this particular screen is loaded on the click of a button and on clicking the button the screen gets stuck because its taking a lot of time to load.

I have the following code to create and apply a few styles for a custom TextArea in ActionScript 3.
public class MyCustomTextArea extends TextArea
{
override protected function createChildren():void
{
[code]....
I have two problems with this code.this.styleSheet is always null when I create an instance of the class. If this.styleSheet is initialized to new StyleSheet() to avoid this issue, then the TextArea instance does not seem to recognize any of the HTML tags that can be used with the htmlText property.

I'm creating a Flex 4 application which contains different modules in it. The main application contains a style sheet and the modules inherit the styles defined in this file.Its working fine when the swf's are generated using Flash Builder. But when I'm generating it using Ant script, the modules does not inherit the styles and everything looks weird.I added isolate-styles="false" as an additional parameter to mxmlc, but still its not working.

When you have a flex project, is it better to use different skins for different components or to use just one big css that has all the styles together?

In my Flex app I give the user the ability to open up a new item form ( s:Panel ) and create multiple items on the page.Sometimes for some odd reason bringing up the panel (simple task) seems to take a really long time to load (like 30 seconds or so) However, the weird thing is that if right after I click to open I navigate away from the Tab and back again to the Flex app tab it shows up right away.
I'm not sure if this has to do with refresh rate or some setting or is it general performance/memory issue with my app that I have to consider. When the application work it works fairly fast which is making me think it's not memory/performance issue.

My flex application has a very bad load time (approx 5 to 8 wasted seconds) but only for FF and IE, Chrome appears fine.I've determined there is some kind of useless idle time before the application's initalization event fires. This is not just my development box, it happens everywhere. It is consistent across Flash version, OS and browser versions too. I've tried multiple. Chrome consistenly works very fast, IE and FF have this strange lag.However locally, whether via localhost or remote IP, it doesn't have this issue. I'm sure you'll think it is the download time, but my SWF is very small (400K) and I've purposely made external images that are very small. I also prefetch the images via JavaScript, and firebug reports the the cache is used later. The download size can't really justify the wait time. Not to mention, why is it so much faster in chrome? Is chrome really that fast downloading images and SWF files?
Also, minimal JavaScript is called from Flex, and I've more or less ruled out that is the issue.So it isn't Chrome's super fast handling of JavaScript.I don't see any large load times with Firebug.I see JavaScript excute in the browser inline during a page load, but then the appliation init within the SWF doesn't fire for about 5 to 8 seconds later.I don't see why flash on Chrome is so much faster, nor what could be taking so long for Flash to kick in.Tried the Flex Profiler, but memory usage spikes AFTER the bad load time.Otherwise, I don't know enough or see enough to recognize a problem with it.

I made a Form container with few TextInput fields in Flex and I would like to change a style of clicked TextInput element. I managed to do it with MouseEvent.CLICK event listener but it is not what I expected. I would like to change style of TextInput when user try to edit that field. However, I want to change back to 'default' style when user clicks another TextInput field or outside any field. Is there some event listener made specific for such interactions? I have also a question, is it possible to make width of TextInput depending on amount of text? I mean to resize it to width of text inside of it? Text comes from some database and is always different widths...

I am trying to figure out why I am getting an error when using the chromeColor (or other spark style related items):
<s:Button x="10" y="208" label="CALL" width="185" fontWeight="bold" id="bCall" chromeColor="#F90000"/>
This is the error:
The style 'chromeColor' is only supported by type 'spark.components.Button' with the theme(s) 'spark'.
Yet in project - properties, the theme is set to Spark. I also tried setting it to Halo and then back to Spark. Here is my app definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="800" minHeight="600" width="100%" height="100%">
I have seen references that define the mx namespace as "xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo", but then my mx components break (TabNavigator for example) - not sure if that would fix it anyway. I is using flex 4.1 library (I believe the project was originally created when flex builder was at 4.0 if that matters).
No other libraries included.
Project - properties is set to MX+Spark.
Also, if I remove that chromeColor, the project compiles, BUT there are warnings such as: The style 'borderAlpha' is only supported by type 'spark.components.TitleWindow' with the theme(s) 'spark'. Flex Problem (and others - borderColor, cornerRadius, dropShadowVisible).

I have a following issue:My task is to style a datatip for two charts in Flex 4.5.Both charts reside in two different <Group> based components which are added to the <Application>
So after a thorough research here is what I tried to do.First applying a css descending selectors:
#container#chart1 chartClasses|DataTip{
backgroundColor:white;
backgroundAlpha:0.01;
[Code]....
Then I would like to be able to get access to the instance of the CustomDataTip class.But I can't .So currently the only thing I can do is to create a distinct custom datatip renderer class for each chart.That could be fine if you have only a couple of charts you want to style but what can we do if we have many of them?

How should I set my text field style, and then set it in the createChildren method?

I want to load my styles (in swf format) at run time for my flex mobile application. For that requirement, I have compiled my css files into swf format and I loaded for my application using "StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("style.swf");". I get my styles for application when I run it on my desktop, but after building my files into apk format, I couldn't get the styles applied for my application in device. When I debug my application from my android device, I got the following error message.
Error: Unable to load style(RSL app:/framework_4.5.1.21328.swz failed to load. Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: app:/framework_4.5.1.21328.swz): style.swf. at Function/<anonymous>()[E:dev4.5.1frameworksprojectsframeworksrcmxstylesStyleManagerImpl.as:1551]

My DateChooser code and its style code is shown below:
<mx:DateChooser id="dc" cornerRadius="0" bottom="0" width="100%" allowMultipleSelection="true" allowDisjointSelection="false" styleName="dateChooserGradient" change="fetchDateAgenda(dc.selectedDate)"/>
And the dateChooserGradient:
.dateChooserGradient {
header-colors: #133c59, #29506c;
todayStyleName: myTodayStyleName;
headerStyleName: myHeaderStyleName;
weekDayStyleName: myWeekDayStyleName;
dropShadowEnabled: false;
arrowBorderThickness:2;
arrowColor: #062338;
arrowAlpha: 0.1;
}
What I actually want for my arrows is a transparent background, with borderthickness to be 2, and the arrows and bordercolor to be #062338. Also if I can make the width and height of the arrow itself a bit bigger then what it is as default.

I'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?

I have a Button that when clicked loads a Flex module in my AIR application. However,occasionally the Module fails to load the first time the button is clicked, but it works the second time it's clicked. When I debug it in the debugger the READY event is not fired so the remaining logic is never called.
var moduleInfo:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(managedModule.url);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, function(event:ModuleEvent):void {
trace("ModuleEvent.READY called.");
