I created a skin to show on Button mousedown.I want to give corner raduis and border thickness also as skin attributes because I gave them to the button in the normal way but they are not working on mousedown when I chose to give skin on it.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am wondering about making lines with a corner radius. It seems that the smaller the scale, the corners sort of distort, and end up looking jaggy. Maybe its just the way it is, but is there any remedy? I tried shifting the registration points, etc, but still the only way it looks smooth is when enlarged.
View 2 RepliesI've this tabs that I wanted to make rounded only on top-right and top-left corners. But it ended up rounding all 4 corners.
What I did:
<mx:TabNavigator id="myTabNav" x="58" y="61" width="584" height="200" creationComplete="setColors(event)" styleName="myTabStyle">
<pages:One label="ThisOne" id="one" name="One"/>

As you can see I have the "focusRoundedCorners" to point to top-right and top-left but no luck. What I got is:

View 1 RepliesI have a button with the various states (up/over/down etc) that uses a skin file to render the display. I want to achieve animation between the states. For instance, between the change from 'up' to 'over' I want to fade in a color and a border.
The way I am doing this at the moment is to use viewstates and animate between them using transitions and the mx:AnimateProperty. However, using this method I can only animate one property per viewstate. So only the border, or the color can be animated.
Does anyone know how I can achieve multiple animations on multiple properties of a programmatic button skin?
I have a mx.components.List component with a bunch of custom styles:
<mx:Style>
.dropDownListStyle
{
[code]....
I'm creating the list in AS:
_dropDown = new List();
...
_dropDown.styleName = "dropDownListStyle";
The List is then added as a popup with PopUpManager:
PopUpManager.addPopUp( _dropDown, this );
The problem is that the corners of the newly created popup are not rounded. I found that border-style is needed in order to get the effect, but adding this property didn't help. I'm building the project with Flex 4.1, but the List and its parent are MX components and it's a lot of work to migrate them to Spark.
I'm creating a spark list in my flex mobile application and i want to do like a list on the iphone with a corner radius Unfortunately there is no cornerRadius or simply radius in list styles.

How do I get corner radius on my TextInput component in Flex 4.

Im probably overlooking something simple, but when I try to draw a rectangle Flash is automatically applying a corner radius. I've tried resetting the options in the Properties Inspector, which resets to the default, but soon as a draw a shape it goes right back to a random radius.
View 4 RepliesSkinParts are a great way to add event handlers and logic to an object that is instantiated in the skin, away from any business code. Often, though, I find myself wanting to do the opposite, and define parts that will be used in reusable, skinnable containers in the parent mxml files which will be inserted into the skinned containers.
What's the best practice for when you want to be able to define a control and a skin which can be reused with different controls inserted from outside the skin? Edit: A better way to put this might be that I want to use something that works a little bit like a SkinnableContainer, but that isn't limited to one area where content can be placed.
I'm using the default CS4 FLVPlayback skin, mainly the SkinOverPlayMute.swf. I know there's a skinAutoHide option, but because I don't want it to auto play, I want people to see a play button when they first encounter the video (so they don't think it's just an image). But the skin needs to hide when the video is actually playing (so the video doesn't get blocked by the controls).
In other works - when video isn't playing: skin showing; when video is playing: skin hide.

View 1 RepliesI am looking to get access to individual legend items in actionscript (a Legend Item being the label and coloured block identifying a chart series). Does anyone know of a property of the Legend or Chart that gives access to all of the currently displayed LegendItems in a Legend?
I know this is possible by using LegendMouseEvents, as the events give access to the LegendItem that has been clicked/rolled over ect. However, I cannot rely on an event in this case.
I am trying to programmatically skin a PopUpButton control in Flex Builder, but having no luck. As far as I know this requires writing a custom skin class or creating a modified version the control class itself (since the control is MX and not Spark). Again, just to clarify, I want to programmatically modify the appearance not simply set styling properties or display an image. I've been able to do this programmatically with other MX controls (e.g. tabs in a tab navigator), but not with the PopUpButton.I think part of the problem may be that the control is actually composed of two separate buttons, so you cannot draw just one rectangular area over the whole control.

View 1 RepliesI am having 2 problems creating programmatic skin for Canvas.
First problem: I would like to have background with rounded corners and I am using GraphicsUtil.drawRoundRectComplex in order to have round corners for only the upper two corners. The problem is that drawRoundRectComplex takes for each corner one single parameter - the corner radius. However my scaleX and scaleY factors are different and in fact the corners are not properly rounded because I either can set the radius using scaleX or scaleY. Graphics.drawRoundRect is better because it takes two parameters for the corners - elipse width and height and then you could apply both scale factors but it doesn't allow me to specify different radius for different corners. How to use GraphicsUtil.drawRoundRectComplex when scaleX and scaleY are different.
Second problem: Even though I set my programmatic skin through style - <> the skin's updateDisplayList gets executed only once and after that somehow "backgroundImage" style gets "undefined" and my programmatic skin is not associated anymore to the Canvas instance. As a workaround I am setting on each resize event "backgroundImage" style again but this is ugly. What could cause such "silent" resetting of the "backgroundImage" style to undefined?
When I hover the mouse above the chart elements, it can show some standard hints. How can I show the tooltips without hovering?
View 1 RepliesI need to to a programmatic multi column sorting on the AdvancedDataGrid.The issue is, currently I am implementing paging on my grid. So, if I sort the data,only the perticular page is being sorted. So,I need to sort the entire list by the column criteria.I tried HeaderRelease event,but I guess it is of no use as I need to make a round trip call to the server to get the sorted data.Is there any way I can implement that.I also need to show the sort markers in the Column headers' right position, indicating the sort numbers and direction.
View 7 RepliesCan anyone point me to a good Actionscript 3 class that handles "masonry" style layouts ala the ted.com homepage? Short of finished code, can anyone describe / summarize an efficient algorithm that handles this effect? Searches turn up arcane articles about kd-trees and other such stuff that's way over my head.
The jQuery Masonry plugin looks great, but I tried reverse engineering it without much success.
When I create something like the following:
<mx:DataGrid id"myDataGrid"
itemEditBegin="myDataGrid_itemEditBeginHandler(event)" />
When does the event listener for "itemEditBegin" get added and removed? Is this essentially the same as:
<mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid"
creationComplete="myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event)" />
protected function myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Basically, I'm wondering where I should add "myDataGrid.addEventListener" if I want to do it programmatically? Should it be in the creationComplete listener function of the object itself, or perhaps in the creationComplete listener function for whatever parent object it resides in?
I would like to scroll the amcharts flex stock chart programmatically on it's horizontal axis, in other words along the time axis. I need to do this, because I need to scroll one period at a time and would like to hook this up to keyboard events. I couldn't find anything in the documentation here: [URL]. I've also tried mucking around with the period selector to see whether I can change the values on it, but no luck there.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with the Tween object: I'm building a game where mc's need to drop periodically from the sky, and then when they reach the bottom of the screen, they need to be unloaded. The problem I'm having is firing "onMotionFinished" events for these dynamically, "loop-generated" mc's. I think I need to be able to send parameters to an onMotionFinished function, but I can't figure out how. I made a stripped-down version of what I'm doing, here's the code:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//this keeps track of which bomb we're on
bomb_count = 0;
[code]....
Basically I just want to have more control over the programmatic tween and its associated events. Everything is there, it's just that the onMotionFinished event isn't attached to the tween I want it to be attached to, it's attached to the most recent tween that occured, or something. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that all my tweens have the same name, but I don't know how to name them differently in the loop.
I read some stuff about "delegates" and "superclasses" and other dizzying objecty things that seemed relevant but like I said, since I'm not oop fluent, I get pretty lost pretty quick, esp.
I've just learned the basics of programmatic animation in Actionscript 3.0 but I can't seem to think of the right solution for this problem.Here is what I'm trying to do: A ball moves at a certain speed from the left of the screen to the right end. If there's a box in the way, it keeps bumping into it until the box breaks and it continues moving forward.The box will have a set weight that will control how much it slides when it is bumped by the ball. The ball will be pushed back a bit when it bumps the box.I have a very specific idea and all I need is a little help starting. How would you tackle this problem?
