ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Custom Component?
Jun 3, 2009
I am creating a custom Component using ActionScript 3. This Component have some properties that can be changed in the Component Inspector, and in this component i create a text field to show a message that the user define in this panel.
So far, works ok. But i want to give a chance to the user choose a font type to this text field, i found in the Component Definition, a option called "Font Name", with this option, you can select a type of font to use.
The problem is to recover this font in my Class of the component. I try to use the Font Class, but it seems that this class was not created for this. My question is: What Class i have to use to recover the selected font from the Font Name option. I try this:
var newFont:Font = "Arial";
[Inspectable(name="Font name", type = Font, defaultValue = "Arial")] public function set corPreloader(fonte:Font) { newFont = fonte; } public function get corPreloader():uint { return newFont; }

I'm trying to extend the mx:Box container so that two buttons sit on the outside of the container to cycle through it's contents (similar to a scrollbar).
I've made a custom component that looks basically
like "mx:HBox->mx:Button mx:Box mx:Button" where the buttons and box are children of the hbox.
How do I offer the user access to the box (say its dataProvider and itemRenderer) through my custom component?
So they just need to write 'local:MyCustomComponent dataProvider="rar" itemRenderer="rar"/>' and my box inside that component can use it?

I'm trying to create a custom component which displays a red rectangle in the middle with the following Flex Mobile project for Android (in Flash Builder 4.5 Burrito) -
MyComp.mxml (has no errors):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<components:MobileApplication
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[code].....
even though I have added c:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash Builder Burritosdks4.5.0frameworkslibsmxmx.swc to Flex Build Path (by clicking "Add SWC" button in the project properties dialog).
PS: Power Stackoverflow-users, consider adding a tag for Android-AIR or Flex-Hero or maybe Flex-Mobile

I created a custom MXML component, TurboContent, that extends the NavigatorContent class:
<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[Code].....
In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).

My question is if i can define custom style names like dividerRightColor and if so, how can i use that value inside my MXML Component? I have seen examples of using them inside Pure AS components.

I have a custom Flex 4.5 component (to be used in a List) -
Game.mxml (represents a clickable playing table in a card game):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer [code].......
But I never see the "game clicked: " trace. Does anybody please know why? I'm probably missing something minor, because I can see the "Clicked: 8946" trace.

See the first constant, I copy pasted the event name in custom components.

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

The spark panel component for example can be written like this
<Panel title="Skinny">
<child components ... />
<controlBarGroup>
<child control bar components ... />
</controlBarGroup>
[Code]...
The motivation here is that I can now create a couple different skin files to change the look and layout of those subgroups. Reading source of the spark panel, there are some calls within the mx_internal namespace such as getMXMLContent() which is a method of the spark group component, but which I have no access to.
Does the description above make sense? How can I create custom 'contentGroups' in my custom Flex4 component that can use nested mxml child components? Should I approach this a different way?

I have writen this SWC component. If I run a test FLA from the same folder where the AS class is, it works. But if I install the component in the components folder and try to instantiate it from somewhere else (any folder but the one where the AS class is) I get the following error: ArgumentError:Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on MyComponent. Expected 0, got 4.

I've been running into a billion problems while creating custom events, so I clearly don't understand some of the basics. All the examples I've found online are unnecessarily complicated, so I've gone ahead and created a super simplified version of how I think it should work. The results are in bold...

i have a set of "if conditionals" that should always be together,what i want to do is to put these conditionals in a function... then call the function once needed. i want to call this function once the flash starts playing + when i click on any of the 3 buttons.
here is the code so far:
ActionScript Code:
var btn1:Boolean=true;
var btn2:Boolean;
var btn3:Boolean;
[code]....
the problem is button1 should have no eventlistener once the movie starts playing, but it has all listeners... so how can i make AS reads BtnStatus function once it starts loading

I'm in the process of creating a component for CS4 which uses a custom UI SWF in the component inspector. I read that the component inspector is being removed in CS5 and you will now access component properties in the properties panel. Will developers still be able to create a custom component UI in CS5?

I'm trying to build a custom FLV preloader for the FLV PLayback component, but every thread refers to using the NetStream.bytesLoaded (non-component FLV command). What are you supposed to do when using the FLVPlayback component??I tried this - but it didn't work. myVideo is the FLVPlayback component.
Code:
myVideo.getBytesLoaded = loadedBytes;

Something I've always wanted to do was creating a custom component in Flash but havespecific parts of the component size appropriately based on, say, the video size.For go there and watch a video... they use the same component for all sizes of video. What seems to be changing is the video width and height, the progress bar width and the position of any status messages for the video.

I'm making a UI for a component in Flash. I wanted to use Flex and have had no luck getting the onUpdate exernalInterface call to fire properly. I'm referencing the functionality described here: [URL]. First off, I can't embed the SWF in the FLA. It just won't start the Flex SWF. Even using the external swf, it seems that the onUpdate function is either called too early or not at all. Here's what I've tried:
Tying the externalInterfce declaration to the initialize, preinitialize, applicationComplete, and creationComplete events. Sub-classing my application and putting the externalInterface in the constructor. Neither of these options work. When I create a basic AS3 project in Eclipse and put the externalInferface in the constructor, it works as expected.

I want to create a custom chatback badge in Flash to match the other buttons on my site. I am a newbie to Flash using CS4. I don't have a preference of actionscript 2.0 or 3.0. I've figured out set up the url, but all I want to do is get the little dot next to my name that says whether I am online, busy or offline. It is an html code, and I dont know how to put it into Flash.
Here is the html code:
<img height="9" width="9" style="padding:0 2px 0 0;margin:0;border:none" src="[URL]" alt="">
