ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Use Flex Controls Directly In Flash?
Dec 8, 2009
Can Flex objects be referenced and used in AS3 in Flash? I tried to make a Button from the fl.controls but it said Button nolonger exists and I need to use SimpleButton, and that it didn't recognize the package I was refering to, fl.controls. I tried again with the Colorpicker since I thought part of the problem might have been the button, and I thought I had referenced fl.controls incorrectly since I tried to use fl.* the first time, similar to using flash.display.* and flash.events.* It had the same problem, though, and now I'm wondering if it's even possible to use the flex controls directly. I can't imagine why, though; they're a part of the FlashPlayer runtime, so if I'm calling them from Flash or Flex it shouldn't matter, right?

If I need to call a specific function in the parent application from a child in a flex project, what's the best practice for this? Would it be to dispatch a custom event from the child and have a listener call that function? Or to directly call the function with FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication?

Is there a way to directly print using alive pdf (by passing the step where it saves the datagrid in pdf). Right now I am using Alive Pdf for generating PDF from datagrid and its doing a great job. Since flex printing by itself sucks I was wondering if I could directly print using Alive PDF?

I am currently developing a dynamic LineChart in FLEX 4.I am implementing a Tree control next to my LineChart, which will filter the LineChart dataprovider and lineseries. The tree control has several branches and ultimately 5 children (leaf nodes) at the bottom of the last branch.I need the leaf node/children to be displayed as checkboxes inside the tree control.As I understand,this will require overrides in the TreeItemRenderer class.This is where I am a little confused on how to implement that.Currently I can distinguish between leaf and branches using this code, in my main MXML component.I added this because it may be helpful to some beginning FLEXdevelopers, such as myself, who cannot easily find this functionality documented well:
private function treeClick(e:ListEvent):void {
_selectedItem = Tree(e.currentTarget).selectedItem;
if(mainTree.dataDescriptor.isBranch(_selectedItem)) {[code].....
I am looking at the TreeItemRenderer override class from the following example here: In the example, they override the "createChildden" super function to add checkboxes to the tree control.My question is, can I override the createChildren function directly in my MXML component, and not have to use an entire class file to override this functionality? Must I re-invent the wheel to do this?Also, how can I distinguish that my treeItem is a leaf node and not a parent, in the override function? I only want to add checkboxes to the leaf nodes, how can I differentiate? The following example adds checkboxes to all branches and leaf nodes, but I want to add checkboxes only to leaf node/children. How would you approach that?
override protected function createChildren( ): void
{
super.createChildren( );[code]............
Here is my tree tag:
<mx:Tree id="mainTree" dataProvider="{treeData}" itemRenderer="TreeCheckBoxItemRenderer" labelField="@label" showRoot="false" width="100%" height="100%" itemClick="treeClick(event)" />

The client machine may not have a microphone hardware or may play the sound on headphones. I think this must be possible but may be not a common task so that's

Basically I discovered its no problem at all to draw lines or shapes or whatever directly onto an mx:Text object using its graphics property (Text.graphics.lineTo, etc.). If just displaying that text, then any such drawn lines are displayed as well. However, if that Text object is used as a mask, then any drawn lines on that text object are merely ignored when the mask is rendered. And its hard for me to see the reason behind this, if anyone else is able to. I mean you're designating the Text object itself as the mask. It seems like any visual change to that text object should be part of the mask.

I am a little confused about the setActualSize method. It appears from what I've read, that if it is not called on a component by its parent, the component will not be rendered. So it appears that setActualSize is a critical method that is directly bound to rendering the UIComponent. It also appears that the width and height properties of UIComponent override the functionality of the width and height properties of flash.display.DisplayObject, in that they are not directly bound to the rendering of the object but are virtual values that are mainly used by the getExplicitOrMeasured when the parent of the component calls the component's setActualSize method. So the question are:

I was looking into creating iOS-apps (especially for the iPad) with the Adobe-Flex framework. It looks very promising to code apps this way. Is it possible to create own controls/widgets? In the far future I might want to create my own kind of gantt-calender or whatever. Is something like this possible and are there any good tutorials/book out there?
UPDATE: I want to create iOS Components that I can use in Flex. Controls, that are not aviable by default in Flex. Is that possible? By derivating or something?
UPDATE 2: In the meanwhile I found FlexLib to be useful. How hard is it to create stuff like this on your own? Especially for mobile devices. Are there any good tutorials, books, etc.

Create a modal popup to popup with popupmanager (mine is a group with a skinnable container inside of it)Put field components (textinputs) on the modal popup Attempt to tab between controlsTab switches to controls behind the modal-popup and ignores the fact that the modal is there. The tab loop only contains controls behind the modal. I've tried everything from setting tabChildren, to hasFocusableChildren. I can't implement IFocusManager as it's Halo and my modal is a Spark group, but would that work in some capacity? It really seems like Flex just ignores the modal in its focusmanager.

I'm trying to implement a collapsible TitleWindow popup by adding a handle to the top right corner of a Panel control. Unfortunately, the image that I add as the handle doesn't show up when the control is drawn. I can trigger a redraw by changing the source of the image, so apparently it's there, but it's somehow hidden. Is there a way to make this Image control visible to the user?Here's the code for the window:
package
{
import mx.containers.Panel;

I read a post on SO that recomended adding the controls to an ArrayCollection with the creationComplete event. I tried that and it worked fine but it was not any more elegant than what I have now. All of these controls are in mxml format and not generated with AS by me. I also tried looping like this:
I can't get past that part though. I cannot find a way to reference the values of the control.

I'm not a flash developer, I'm having issues figuring out how I should set up these two projects that I have in Flex Builder.I've already created projA which has a .mxml that references several custom controls & skins from com.xxx.controls within projA.I now have to build projB which also has a .mxml that will create a different .swf. I want to use some of the same controls from projA.I currently build projA through the command line and nant and will need to do the same for projB.
Should I create a new project to move all of the common controls into? How do I then use this library project in both the projects & compile via command?
