i never use compenents, and was recently asked to build one. Ha. Anyway, i have a working class that does all i expect, however, when transforming the class to a component, i am having trouble getting the inspector to actually 'set' the variables. below is a very general idea of what i am doing. All the variables show in the spector, but only the default values are working at runtime.

I'm creating a component which requires the selection of one item from a list of items in the component inspector. If you look at the checkbox component, you'll see a tag called labelPlacement which allows the selection of one of four choices. I would like to reproduce this for my component.
I do not need to display a list using my component, I just need to allow the choice from a list.
I am trying to define the content area of a custom component that extends mx:VBox. The component has predefined headers and footers (visual children) and I want to set the area in the middle for adding children to the component. The component will be used like this:
<custom_component>
<mx:button/>
</custom_component>
How would I set this content area?
I have a created a component, and I can get the value in component inspector(code is in timeline)
But now I want that code to be in .as file.
how can I get access to the component in the stage and how to get its parameter values.
I have them appearing fine in the component definition panel, but the values entered here seem to be overridden by the component inspector and the var doesn't appear here unless I enter it manually and then there's no way to make it a list.In my class I have:
Code:
[Inspectable(defaultValue="controls", type="list", enumeration="controls,noControls")]
public var controlValue;

How do you set the default value of skinClass for a custom component in Flex? I've extended the DropDownList with my custom component, but I would like to specify a default skin to go with it instead of always setting the skinClass value for each instance.

I have a custom Flex 4.5 component (to be used in a List) -

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.
This is similar to the question asked here. I am dispatching custom event "ShopEvent" but i am getting error "Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent"Note: Error is thrown from the parent custom component (3rd code snippet), I have added more details thereThis is my custom event. See the first constant, I copy pasted the event name in custom components.

I have created custom TreeItemRenderer in which i am trying to draw colored Hbox bar at each node except root.

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?
In my custom component (Login), I create and set a variable userName, it is bindable: [Bindable] private var userName:String; userName = txtUsername.text; I need to pass that variable to a different custom component (Overview), here is the code of the viewstack:

I've searched for a way, but I haven't found one that does the trick.
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;

I'm using a custom drag for easing properties:
ActionScript Code:
var yMouse:Number;
var xMouse:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){
yMouse = _root._ymouse;
[Code]...
As you can see, I'm trying to prevent it from passing _root.block by only allowing the mouse's Y to be followed when it isn't passing _root.block. The only problem is that once it hits _root.block, there's no way to drag it back from _root.block. It gets stuck. Is there a better way to prevent it from passing _root.block but allow it to be pulled back from _root.block

I am running Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5.1 r516 on a CentOS system. I also have WHM/cPanel installed on this system. My scenario is this. We have a large number of MP4 media files that are currently located in a web root directory created by cPanel: /home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices. These all work without a problem when doing progressive downloads. However, we also want to make them streamable with FMS as well. From the documentation, I should be able to create an entry in the /<fms install dir>/applications/vod/Application.xml file to look up files in that folder.
Here is my VirtualDirectory block:
<StreamManager><VirtualDirectory>
<!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.-->
<Streams>/;/home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory></StreamManager>
However, when I try to connect to a file that is in that directory, I get a 404 error in the access.00.log file. I've tried to change the owner/group on the fullservices folder as well as the owner/group of the target file to the fms user/group, but I still cannot connect to it. The connection address is rtmp://<ipAddress>/vod/mp4:1005-03m_256k.mp4.
