ActionScript 3.0 :: Accordion Control - Difference Between SelectedChild Property And SelectedIndex Property?
Sep 16, 2009
What's the difference between selectedChild property and selectedIndex property? I read the documentation, both seems to be setting currect active accordion. selectedChild can be only used in actionscript, but other than this, what's the difference?
I am having a real problem with one of my components. I have a list object and I need to set the selectedIndex. Now I would think this would be easy, but it appears that for just this instance the selectedIndex property is read only. I have set the property for other instances, and I can read the property for this instance, but I cannot change it.
Latest_News_Display is under the Latest_News state. I want to set Latest_News_Display's x property even if the currentState is set to Intro. However, when I try to use Latest_News.Latest_News_Display.x = 10,it returns an error that says 1120: Access of undefined property Latest_News
Setting the text property of a flex DateField makes the selectedDate property of that DateField go to null.I need to set the text property so that I can use a particular format (DD-MMM-YYYY).
Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?
download my attachment file of hierchy of movie clip. into movie clip. My major movie clip is grayBox. Gray Box contain two box Green box and pink box and pink box contain black box.
Can we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"]; Rather than: this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void { if(!isTokenable(property)) _tokenables[property] = true; }
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String { _token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");
I have multiple tab loops, where I enable/disable the loops as needed to control the tabbing experience. I'm attempting to set control the tabbing with the tabChildren property on the Movieclip or Sprite containers I have by setting their tabChildren property to true/false. I am trying to set up tabbing that has three distinct tab loops (three different containers), each with their own internal Sprites/Movieclips that have their tabIndex properties set as needed. I am able to properly set tabChildren to false, and back to true. But with the component, once I set it to false, I can't set it to true again.
Tab loop 1: main content (a loaded SWF file)
Tab loop 2: nav bar (previous & back buttons to load different SWFS, and a Help button)
Tab loop 3: a help pop-up window (a Sprite container) with a scrollPane component used to show scrolling content
Things seem to work fine without the ScrollPane component involved in the mix.Have others experienced this inability to control tabChildren like this? And with regards to using components? I am not using the FocusManager class in any capacity, and believe that it only applies to the components (unless I created my own components and implemented IFocusManager, which I haven't).
I am trying to: 1) create a dynamic property 2) bind that property to a label This works great for "sealed properties", but for dynamic properties there doesn't appear to be any event triggered. Are dynamic properties implicityly not bindable?
var myObj:MyType = new MyType(); // MyType is dynamic myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "initialized"; BindingUtils.bindProperty(myLabel, "data", myObj, repeatedLabel.name); // myLabel now displays "initialized" myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "changed"; // myLabel still displays "initialized", it should say "changed" !!!
I have no success binding mxml control to AC3 object property. I'm new to AC3/Flex and assume my aproach is kinda "Javascript like" and might be completely wrong. Here's mxml (don't pay attention to mistypes/syntax errors):
I'm wondering if there is a way I can bind a flex property to flash property?, the flash property is inside a swc file created in flash with the Flex Component Kit for Flash Professional, I can manipulate the flash component as a regular flex component, but I want to bind their properties, is there a way?
i have a UILoader that loads an image from an xml list when you click its thumbnail ( in its thumbnails mc on mainstage aswell) thing is, i have another UILoader on the layer above that loads in a swf ( a slideshow that fades in and out the pictures when they change to the next, with all the coding on frame 1, frame 2 only has a stop and some code for when the mouse is idle for 5 secs it goes back to frame 1) so when you go to "portraits" it takes you to frame "x" where the slideshow ( loaded external swf ) starts playing automaticly right, if i click any thumbnail the slideshow goes to frame 2 ( wich is perfect and the mouse idle thing i wanted works great ) the ONLY THING IS
after the slideshow runs by default for the first time ( i enter the category portraits ) and i click any thumbnail ( moving slideshow swf to frame 2 enabling mouse idle event ) and the mouse is idle ( so it does the event and starts playing the slideshow again ( goes back to frame 1 ) ) I CANT MAKE THE UILOADER OF THE THUMBS IMAGE TO DISSAPPEAR!
Debugging the application I find that selectedIndex in the presentation model always remains at the default value assigned regardless of which item I selected from the DropDownList. For the sample code above this is -1.How can I bind the selectedIndex in the presentation model such that it is updated appropriately when the selected item DropDownList changes?
I'm having issues with the property "editable" of textArea control. I have a component: OrderView.mxml and it's associated data class OrderViewData.as. Orderview.mxml is inside a viewStack to enable navigation from a component to another. In this particular case, OrderView.mxml is called by another component: SearchResult.mxml. I can thus navigate from SearchResult.mxml to OrderView.mxml, and back to SearchResult.mxml... OrderView.mxml has textArea and textInput control, that have to be editable or nonEditable depending on the property var isEditable:Boolean from OrderViewData.as.
When the application is launched, isEditable = true. So, all textInput and textArea controls are editable the first time the user gets to OrderView.mxml. When the user clicks on the button order from OrderView.mxml, isEditable = false. When the user goes back to SearchResult.mxml, isEditable = true (again) --> Until here, everything works fine. The thing is: when the user goes back to OrderView.mxml for the second time (and beyond), even if the property isEditable = true, textArea controls are still non editable... But the textInput controls are editable!
I can only explain this by an example; so:I have 2 classes and one of them includes the other as a getter/setter property.I need the following code to return the same result:second.first.X = 1; //but it does not. ( ExpectedMethod() is NOT fired. )
I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.
[Code]...
The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.
I have an accordion component on my stage and I really do not even know where to start to do .I found this code on the Adobe help pages and it causes the movement of the accordion to bounce... which is great... but my problem is populating the accordion with the data.
My accordion is called "top_acc".I have three(3) labels... (FIRST,SECOND, and THIRD) Within there i would like arrays to be displayed for the select label.My arrays are defined and when i trace them i get exactly what i am looking for... the format of the code to add an array to my accordion...then upon selecting the item in the array displayed i would to be able to display that same array value in a text box called "my_selection" ....also the amount of items in the array are not static and change day to day..
I'm trying to create a navigation panel based on the Flex Accordion control. The 2 things I'm trying to figure out are how to:
modify the Accordion so that all of the of "panels" are closed by default. (normally one of the panels is open by default)treat some of the Accordian headers as just simple buttons (ie you click and an event is triggered instead of an accordion panel opening)
My code is not working.. I want command_quiz (5, whatever number is chosen) to operate. The javascript is working fine with textinput for page numbers.
1) I created a MovieClip with some graphics representing a simple tab menu item
2) I created a class "Tab.as" which extends MovieClip and linked to the MovieClip from step 1
3) I used Component Definitions in the library to add a String property linked to the variable "icon": Label = "Icon", Variable = "icon", Value = "", Type = "String"
4) In my Tab.as class I put an [Inspectable] get/set property, icon: [Inspectable] public function get icon():String{ ... } public function set icon(val){ ... }
I get the following compile errors for both get and set functions: 1023: Incompatible override. 1021: Duplicate function definition. Why?
