I need to set the text value of the ComboBox and numericStepper when an item in a list is pressed. I understand that the value of the ComboBox and NumericStepper is read only. How can I force these components to show the value that I want?
View 3 Repliesi am having problems with setting the default value of the numericstepper. what is happening is that each time i change the value of Ath in the numeric stepper then change the frame the Ath value changes to it's max value. this happens with all of the numericsteppers that i set a default value with using actionscript. all relevent code is bellow along what each frame is for/does

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
I've got a combobox, cb, for which I need to programmatically set the selection. The combobox was populated by:
cd.addItem({data:"string1",label:"string1"});
cd.addItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});
cd.addItem({data:"string3",label:"string3"});
Lets say I need to set the combobox to "string2",I've tried all of the following, none work:
cb.selectedItem("string2");
cb.selectedItem(data:"string2");
cb.selectedItem(label:"string2");
cb.selectedItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});
The docs say selectedItem() is read/write but all the examples I can find are read only.
my string LINK at the end of the script is undefined it should change when i select the categories with my combo box
here is the xml :category.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Any way to set the text that initially appears within a ComboBox without actually making it a selection? I have a ComboBox that initially starts out with one selection labeled "Select One". When you click on the ComboBox, the first selection in the list is "Select One". Is there a way to tell the ComboBox to just say "Select One" when it first hits the stage without making it editable?
View 3 RepliesI am setting new style on a combobox instance. Following is the code.
myCombobox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", myStyle);myCombobox.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myStyle); where myCombobox is the combobox instance and myStyle is textFormat object. but when i disable the component. i.e, myCombobox.enabled = false; The combobox textField loses its style and resets to its defualt style, though the dropdown style remains( myStyle ). What is the reasons for this behaviour. How can i change the style for the disabled state of the component.
I need to programmatically set the selected item in a combobox. I've got a combobox like this:

I've got a function that regards deep linking. [URL]. They'll be taken to the appropriate part of the site (without having selected Label 2 in the comboBox). How do I set the comboBox programatically, so that it corresponds with what the user it looking at? In my function's switch statement, I want to set the comboBox to the label that corresponds with the view. If "view=2" then the comboBox should show "Label 2" as selected.
case "view=1":
MyComboBox.selectedItem.label="Label 1";
parseUrl();
case "view=2":

I've got a comboBox with defined data and label fields. On Event.CHANGE I capture the data field. I need the comboBox to default back to the user selection if they should navigate to another screen and then come back. Normally I've got an array of labels that I can use to just lookup the index: comboBox.selectedIndex = labelArray.indexOf(user selection); In this case I don't have labelArray. What I really want to do is something like this (only with real AS, not fake):
comboBox.selectedData = storedDataString or, if the data array is accessible: comboBox.selectedIndex = comboBox.data.indexOf(user selection); Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just suck it up and add yet another global label array?
I am using the combocheck example from the following site: [URL]
It's a very useful component and works very well.
Now, I need to set the text property of this combo box upon application startup with certain values (which are defined dynamically according to some criteria). The problem is that although I have no problem setting the text property of the combo box at other times of the application run, setting the property at startup seems to have no effect unfortunately.
For example, I want to set the text property of the combobox to "Bob" (which is one of the items in the dataprovider for the combobox) and the "set text" method is called on the combo box. Performing a step-through shows that the "set text" method is receiving the correct value item but not setting the _text property.
I have tried not doing anything until "ApplicationComplete" but no joy there either.
Here is the code (a combination of the code from the URL above and some other changes to it). However, as I've stated above, the codes does work. The problem is that it doesn't work at the application startup. Whenever an event is fired and setComboText is called as a result, the text of the combo box is set correctly.
private function onComboChecked(event:ComboCheckEvent):void {
var obj:Object=event.obj;
var index:int=selectedItems.getItemIndex(obj);

I have a Flash Form that is fairly long (about 8 short pages), so I have set the form up so that it can be reviewed when the filler-outer is done and they are ready to submit it. I'm using a Shared Object to store the information they enter so they won't lose their information if they hit refresh or need to come back later.
If they go back to the page with comboboxes on it, the comboboxes have reset to the default. The answer and data in the SO haven't changed, but it looks like it to the consumer/viewer.
So, I'd like for the boxes to display the choice they picked when they were on that page. I need use the value from the database to show the particular value in the ComboBox whenever the user returns to that page.
I have a RadioBtnGroup with (8) RBtn, and also One NumericStepper which uses the change property to address a changeHandler, and to count appropriate values up or down. At the moment I can only select the first RBtn and the changHandler' associated with it, but now I'm trying to find a way to use the change property of the NumericStepper multiple time (as per One RBtn to One changeHandler) within a switch or case statement ??? To try to avoid to use more than the One NumericStepper. Note: I do have to use One changeHandler per RBtn! as all the values from one to the other are different.

I was just wondering: When using the NumericStepper-component, is it possible to have a range from say 100 to 200 with all integer values in bewteen (i.e. stepSize = 1), but have the value increase/decrease by another value (e.g. 5) when pressing on of the arrows?
View 2 RepliesI have a NumericStepper in my stage, and I have a Keyboard listener which listens for pressed keys.The listener works fine until I change the value in the NumericStepper.I think it's the textField in the NumericStepper that ruins it.
But i've tried
myNumericStepper.textField.enabled = false
and
myNumericStepper.textField.selectable = false;
But nothing works.
I have a keyboardEvent which listens for pressed keys. I also have a NumericStepper. If I change the value in the NumericStepper, the keyboardEvent stops working (I think the reason is that the textField in the numericStepper, or the numericStepper itself, gets active). So, I've tried alot of things.
numericstepper.textField.enabled = false
numericstepper.textField.selectable = false
numericstepper.textField.editable = false etc...
But nothing seems to work.
I have a numericStepper that has a change" listener that works just fine when using the up/down keys on the stepper (I can retrieve the value of the numericStepper). However, if the user manually types in a value and then clicks away from the stepper,From researching the web, I know that the "change" event is only activated via the up/down arrows on the numericStepper OR when the user presses the enter key in the numericStepper text field.y problem, I cannot retrieve the manual value typed into the numericStepper.The ".value" property always contains the last value set by the up/down arrows or pressing Enter
View 8 RepliesI have a NumericStepper declared as a UIComponent:
<![CDATA[
private var component:UIComponent;
component = new NumericStepper();
]]>
I need to change the .maximum value of the NumericStepper but due to the UIComponent not having a .maximum property the following code fails with the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property maximum through a reference with static type mx.core:UIComponent.
component.maximum = 11;
how would I define a property in this scenario?
I have a datagrid in Flex 4 with a NumericStepper as editor for a numeric value. I can set pre-defined maximum and minimum values for the NumericStepper, but I need to be able to have different limits for each row in the DataGrid. How can I do this?

I am trying to use the NumericStepper component in Flex and would like to give its textField (not just the whole thing) an id but not sure how. I have already given an id to the NumericStepper itself but would like to give an id to its textInput field.
View 1 RepliesTwo questions concerning the numericStepper component and I think they both have to do with how to access the textfield part of the component.
1. How do you change the color of the textfield border in the numericStepper component.
2. I'm using the numericStepper to step up/down by increments of .25 (25 cents) and would like it to always show 2 decimals. But when it reaches a whole number (like 25) it will not show the 2 decimals. Do I treat this like a textfield to force the text to have 2 decimals? And if so, how do I access the .text?
I have a DataGrid with a NumericStepper as the item editor for one of the columns. The numeric stepper is supposed to get its max an min values from the data for each row. My MXML is like this:
<mx:DataGrid x="0" y="45" width="272" height="525" dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true" editable="true" id="equipmentDG" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:columns> [code].....
I want to restrict my NumericStepper so that you can't type invalid characters into it (like a comma). I'm trying this, and it works:
<s:initialize>
stepper.textDisplay.restrict = "0-9 - .";
</s:initialize>
<s:NumericStepper id="stepper" />
Except the negative sign can't be typed anymore, even though I specify it. If I do it directly on a TextInput, it works:
<s:TextInput restrict="0-9 - ." minimum="-10" />
Why doesn't this work?
I have the following NumericStepper:
<s:NumericStepper id="estimertTidCell" value="{isNaN(hostComponent.estimertTid)?0:hostComponent.estimertTid}" stepSize="0.5" maximum="5" change="hostComponent.estimertTid=estimertTidCell.value"/>
When i set the value to e.g. 1.5 through the NumericStepper and store the value, the alert in the following code correctly displays 1.5:
private var _estimertTid:Number;
[Bindable]
public function get estimertTid():Number {
[code]....
Problem: My problem is that once the NumericStepper refreshes, or reloads the variable, it displays 2 instead of 1.5, or 4 instead of 3.5 etc. Anyone got any ideas of what is causing this behavior? I would think that by setting the stepSize=0.5 it would correctly display those decimal numbers.Additional information: When i display the same variable in a spark Label, the value is correctly displayed as a decimal number.
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
