how to apply style to components? I already have components on the stage (so not generating them new from classes in ActionScript). Specifically, I need to designate the display text for both the checkbox and the radiobutton.
View 6 RepliesI am using stringValidator component in flex.
<mx:StringValidator id="toValidator" source="{To}" property="text" triggerEvent="click" >
</mx:StringValidator>
It is working properly but problem is that I have applied borderSkin on ToolTip in my default styleSheet which change the appearance of the message by the validator.
mx|ToolTip
{
borderSkin: Embed(source="assets/componentImages/TabBar-tab_selectedUpSkin.png");
}
Now I want that this borderSkin should not be applied on my stringValidator.
I've found a million tutorials on doing this by loading a CSS file, which is fine, but I don't want to load CSS...I'd rather just modify the thing with actionscript. I've done this before with one of my files, but can't seem to find it.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use fl.controls.Button under Flash CS3 to replace some "classic" custom button symbols with resizable ones with a consistent look and feel. However, I want to apply an icon to the button when authoring the layout of a particular frame on the timeline - but the only way I can see to set the icon style on a button is at runtime with myButton.setStyle(). Is there no way to customise style properties of AS3 Components when authoring on the stage, such that the preview in the IDE vaguely matches the end result? The 'Properties' inspector only provides 'emphasized', 'label', 'labelPlacement', 'selected' and 'toggle' inspectable properties - how do I assign style information at authoring-time?
View 7 RepliesI am Carlos, I am working on a little App in Flash CS5 but I cant find the way to set a Font Style to a label or button components.
The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
How to "setStyle" and "disable focus" (remove the default blue line rectangle when focus) for "ALL" AS3 TextInput components?

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a tutorial on how to do a similar menu style to the coraline movie website. (I'd put the url in but the forum won't let me >_<)
Basically I want the background to move with the mouse sideways. I've looked up sliding menu's but they're a completely different menu style.
I love looking through other people's codes and see how they style their comments, most people use a mix of * and ////, and of course it all depends on the language, but I have definitely seen some good ways to comment and some bad ways. A coded page can really come together with the right commenting structure and make it really easy to read for someone coming into a project without any knowledge.

the text loads but isn't formatted by the CSS
a. is the css code valid?
b. what do I need to do to get it to apply to myTxt?
c. when I load new text does the CSS have to be 'reapplied'?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a little flash project to show a card game being played out. Its just playing out a set of moves - no actual logic for actually playing the game.Anyhow, what i would like to be able to do is create a tween (hope thats the right term) where a card will appear in the center of the table, and then slide over to the players hands and at the same time shrink down so i can fit a few hands on the screen. So basically i need a tween that takes an object (the card), places it on the center of the screen, and then slides over and shrinks down to a specific point. So in whatever action script calls this tween, i guess i would need to feed it two values - which card it starts with, and where the card should end up.

I want a xml text loaded in a normal textfield. I want to embedd the font to the textfield (so not in the xml file). I also want to add links to the xml text and change the look of the link with css. I just want a text file with links in it in Flash and want it to be possible to change it outside of flash so in a XML or text or html file i dont care. As long as I can make links in the text file without the ugly link stripe under the text (so it should be changeable with CSS).
View 10 RepliesWhat is the advantage of using a Delegate class in as2? I realize that it's old news for as3 guys. But Ive got a medium sized as2 project and Im going through my code and wondering why Im using Delegate.create sometimes. What's wrong with "apply"?I admit that I must have jumped on the Delegate bandwagon without thinking anything more than "dhuu...thats what the pros must be using".Am I right in saying that there is nothing at all wrong with simply saying "function_name.apply( this, args )"? Or am I missing something? Is it a matter of memory management? I've done a lot of research on delegation and read all kinds of blogs and scripts from little tweeks to the official.. to >200 lines. Yikes! At the end of the day I wrote my own little delegate class that worked for me (just a rewrite of Proxy without loops). But now that I go though my code I see that I might as well have just used apply because that's all Im doing with it!
Id like to be a better programmer. What am I missing and why shouldn't I do a find and replace here. Why is it better to wrap up "apply"? Will I be better readied to learn other languages?I just don't understand why I was so convinced that I needed the delegate class when I had "apply" out of the box.
I am writing this code on a bunch of buttons and was wondering if there was a way I could apply some sort of generic thing like move the button 2spaces away. ? Instead of defining exactly where they go on x and y.

View 1 RepliesI am using a datagrid in flex and need to render each cell with a different style.What could be the best way to set a style to a perticular cell in datagrid/advanced datagrid (flex)?
I think one possible option can be extend the datagrid and override the drawRowBackgroungd function. Apart from this can i use some custom item renderer or some property similar to label function of a series, there it used to return label here we need a style.
