ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweening Row Colors In Datagrid?
Jul 21, 2009
I have managed to color the rows of a data grid object separately, however giving them a nice tween effect is proving to be more tricky. I wish to make it so that when a row is edited it turns gray and then fades back to white.When I edit a single row this works fine. But when I edit a second row the tween shows up on both of them. The sprite sent to gridColor is indeed the same independently of which line I am editing (weird imo).(Each element in my dataprovider has two extra values color and color_to so that it knows when to tween. )Managed to solve it by looking at the datagrid source code and playing around. Below is the solution:
I am trying to figure out how to make the datagrid component have alternating row colors.I have poured over the manual but cannot seem to fine a property to support this
I have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately. For example, if my variable "type" is "urgent", it would be a red text color.I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out. I've tried setStyle, setRendererStyle, setTextFormat and many more and dozens of combinations.
Im having some trouble finding any info on alternating the font colors in a datagrid component, i can alternate the background colours, but i'd like to alternate the font colors of the rows instead.
how I can manage to give single words inside a DataGrid-CellRenderer a different color than defined by the TextFormat for that CellRenderer? It's not how to get these single words, it's how to use more than one color inside one cell...

I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?
I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.
I have a datagrid with some custom renderrers and I'm just curious how I should approach the ability to freeze and always show the left 3 most columns at all times when scrolling left/right.
I thought that I might have to resort to 2 datagrids, side-by-side, the first showing the 3 columns that I want at all times, and the ability to scroll the rest. Only issue then I guess is linking the row selection to select that row in both and to tie the column sorts together...
Or would it be better to try and take columns 4+ and shrink their width to 0 as a person scrolls right, and then increase it back to the max width as they scroll left? Though that would cause funny issues to happen as the content of the datagrid would get smaller and smaller until you were 100% to the right and the scrollbar would disappear.
I've added an eventListener to the COLLECTION_CHANGE event that is fired when the grid is finished resorting the items in its dataProvider, after the user clicks on a column header:MyType (myDataGrid.dataProvider).addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,onDataGridResort);
I am working on a problem since a week soon, but I still couldn't make it work as expected. I have a DataGrid which has HBox with a CheckBox an a Label as itemRenderer (see Code below). When I tap in to the Cell the standard itemEditor pops up and lets you enter the content of the label. Thats the standard behavior. I works fine except for 2 problems:
If I enter to much text, the horizontal srollbar pops up, and the cell is filled with that scrollbar. As you see I tried to set the horizontalScrollPolicy to off, but that doesnt work at all... I tried to do that for all the different elements, but the failure is still existent. When I have filled more than one row, there is an other mistake happening. If I tap on a row, the datagrid selects the one below that row. That's only if one line is already selected. If I tap outside the datagrid and then, tap at any row the itemEditor of the right row will show up... Is there anything now wright in the setup of my set data method?
Both have single columns. Selecting one item from Divsions datagrid should display members of that Division in the Members datagrid. But following code has some problem and Members of a particular division do not show up when respective Divsion is clicked.
Following are some snippets of the related code. Hope someone can spot an error in it.
For poor performance reasons, the DataGrid will cache checkboxes and reuse them for different rows. If you have 50 rows, it won't create 50 checkboxes. It will create as many checkboxes at are visible, plus a few more for padding, and then reuse them as you scroll. This is why you need to explicitly manage their state. How can improve it ? How can fixed checkbox value ? i used checkbox like below But checkbox doesnot remembering the values
I am attempting to style the headers in a flex datagrid and I keep getting the warning:
Type DataGrid in CSS selector 'DataGrid' must be qualified with a namespace
What does this mean? I have gone through a bunch of tutorials and none of them have worked. It seems like changing a the colors in a datagrid should be relatively simple.
If I'm creating a Flash file (ActionScript 3.0) based off of a Photoshop file, do I need to use web only colors in Photoshop? I creating a pop-up page for a site.
I have some buttons on a stage that when click change the scale and the position of another movieclip sitting on the stage. All works well but I'd like to make it bit more....cool
Is it possible to tween, maybe with an ease, between the current position and the position when the button is clicked?
how to identify the tweening name, if running more tweens on the screen, For example... creating few circle and animating randomly on the screen. I want to remove the circle when the tweening class finished...
here my codes...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ var MC:MovieClip; for (var i:int=1; i<=10; i++) { MC=new mcircle(); MC.id=i;
[code]....
how can i remove circles when the "removeCircle" function called ?
I currently have a flash file and it all works fine, but I'm about to update it and it will become a little complicated to update the way I have set it up.
I have 15 pages (going to be updated to 40pages soon) and a side menu, clicking on one of the tabs in the menu will animate the relevant page onto the stage. Here is the code I am using[code]...
I have imported two images from PS to Flash in PNG format. They are the perfect size and ready to use (i.e. not scaling these images). When I convert them to movies, the animation looks great in Flash, but when I export them they only look good when I have the HTML settings set to "Best". If I don't have this setting on, it looks like crap (i.e. very jagged). These are photos btw, not vector images or shapes.
The reason I want this to be optimized without the control of HTML is because I am creating web banners for advertising. When I submit my swf file to the webmaster, they basically will embed the swf with whatever settings they choose. If they don't have the setting on "Best", the file looks like crap. Allow smoothing is on.
1. When I import the PNG image, can I safely select JPG compression via the Bitmap Properties? Or do I need to keep it as lossless? If I select JPG, I can considerably reduce the filesize, although I'm not sure if that causes the images to look jagged as well.
2. Is there anything I can do outside the HTML settings to display my animations without the jagged edges? I need to keep my filesize under 50Kb which is pretty hard when working with photos and animation etc.
I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.
I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.
I was wondering if there is anyway to shape tween two primitive shapes using actionscript. The shapes will be drawn using AS3 and then i need to tween them. no timeline should be involved.
Just wondering if there is a way to hide the tweening path (ie motion path) of a motion tween animation when scrubbing. I have a number of objects in motion and while I am scrubbing the animation, the tweening path is kind of distracting so I would like to hide them. Is there anyway to show/hide the tweening paths?
I'm making a banner in flash, and are moving some simple objects around.I mainy use vector squares, but when I tween them (classic tween) in a slow motion, the shape starts to "flicker" or "lag". Why is this?I think there has to be something with the calculations Flash is doing, but why can't it make the animation smooth?
i'm unsuccessfully trying to rotate a rectangle around an external point while tweening. i'm trying to lock the top of the red rectangle to the line while it tweens from left to right and rotates from 0º to 90º.the image above shows 3 states of the tween. state 1 shows the red rectangle at the start of the line with no angle. state 2 shows the red rectangle has tweened half way along the line with an angle of 45º that is also half the total angle of 90º. state 3 shows the final position of the tween where the red rectangle has an angle of 90º and is placed at the edge of the line.it seems the problem i'm experiencing is that while tweening, the rotation causes the top of the red rectangle to lose sync with the black line.here is my code that doesn't work, but hopefully will give you a clearer picture of what i'm attempting.
var angle:Number = 90; var previousAngle:Number = 0; var distanceObject:Object = new Object();[code].....
I have an image that tweens in under a mask, then when a button is clicked a new image appears in the same way further down the timeline. When the button is clicked, the old image disappears and the new image appears as the mask reveals it. This leaves a blank spot in its place on the page a very brief period while the new image is being revealed. What I would like to do is have the old image stay visible (not suddenly disappear) in the background (when the button is clicked) until the new image completely appears over it and covers it up. Placing the old image in a new layer under the new image is not an option because there are so many images that they could jump to or from that it is impossible to predict which image they would go to next, so I need to find a way to keep the previous image still visible.
know a few basics of actionscript but nothing more. I'm trying to create a simple intro to a have a movie clip (a line of text) moving across the stage using a this simple code:
-So now that I have it moving, as soon as the front end of it reaches the edge of the stage I wish to have it wrap to the opposite edge of the stage and repeat. So if that is too wordy basically I want a constant line of text moving across the screen.
Does tweening take more space to do than to animate with AS?Also, frames that are not wanted, do they take space too? want to know because smaller the file faster the loading, right?
i'm looking at the site [URL] and notice that when you click the links, when the content box resizes, its height only expands from the bottom and isnt equally distributed. Is there a special way to do this? Or do you think they just have a movie clip on the bottom that expands both way and is just covered by another of the same color so it appears as if only the bottom is expanding?
