View 1 Repliesi am working on a project. i've got stuck somewhere and i believe it is too much easy.
i've a "LIST COMPONENT" on the stage. there are many items there in that list. whenever i make that list's visibility = true; i want it to select item no.1 by default. i know it is very simple but i can't remember...
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
View 1 RepliesWhen a user selects a category from the first drop down box then i want the 2nd drop down to be updated based on the selection of the first drop down. I have created multiple ArrayCollections whose names are set to the "data" values of the first drop down, for instance:

I'm coding an auto-complete feature to use in flash forms.When you are typing (in a TextInput component) suggestions start popping in a List.If the user than press arrow Down, the focus is set to the list, so far so good.But how can I make the list first item selected as I set the focus?I tried using scrollToIndex(0); but didn't work.The way it is now, you have to press the Down key two times to select the 1st item in the list, one sets the focus, the second works..
View 1 RepliesI set my list to allow multiple selection. But when I load data in my list, I want to set a few items as selected. Normally you can set only one item selected by using list.selectedIndex. It only accepts int. How can I set multiple items as selected?
View 2 RepliesI'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?
I have this RSS Reader that is displaying the main headlines into a list component, which is fine but its ugly, i want the list component to be touch enabled for scrolling, is this possible, or if not can i atleast change the scroller to something wider and more visually appealing???

I am currently working on a project in Flex and I am having a hard time having a list's contents ALL be selected by default. Wondering how to do this.

I'm just trying to have the list all selected.
Can I use the List component to make chat? If so, what do Ido after dragging the component to the stage?
View 2 RepliesTo fit in with my page design, yet to take advantage of the "List" component, I'd like to spread my list-labels horizontally, across the page (1 row, multiple columns). Is this possible? If not, is there a comparable component that would do the same thing; showing a row of text labels, rather than a whole set of individual buttons and all the scripting that would entail?

I have a list component and I have an item editor for the items in the list. I would like to have a button that the user clicks once they are done with their changes because I am having them edit multiple pieces of data in the editor and I would also like to validate the data before closing the editor as well. I just don't know what to do on the button's click event to make the item editor close and commit it's changes to the data provider.
View 3 RepliesI've got a comboBox with defined data and label fields. On Event.CHANGE I capture the data field. I need the comboBox to default back to the user selection if they should navigate to another screen and then come back. Normally I've got an array of labels that I can use to just lookup the index: comboBox.selectedIndex = labelArray.indexOf(user selection); In this case I don't have labelArray. What I really want to do is something like this (only with real AS, not fake):
comboBox.selectedData = storedDataString or, if the data array is accessible: comboBox.selectedIndex = comboBox.data.indexOf(user selection); Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just suck it up and add yet another global label array?

View 0 RepliesI have a populated list component with multiple selection enabled, on pressing a button i want to know all of the selections that have been selected. Instead i can only find the .getSelectedItem() thing, which only tells me the last selected thing. How would i do what i want to do?
Also, another thing. If i want to select a specific index of the list, how do i do that? I have tried
'_root.roomsAvailableList.index(i).label'
'_root.roomsAvailableList(i).label'
etc. non seem to work.
I've added checkboxes to a list component using the cellrenderer however the behavior is different from what i expected. I'm only able to check one box in the list at a time. I need to be able to check mutiple boxes in the list.
I'm aware you could hold down the control key and select individual the checkboxes, but the application i'm developing is a touch screen aplication hence no keyboard, no control key. I've tried programmaticaly setting the selectedindicies but the checkboxes don't appear checked after the selectedindices have been set.
I am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a custom list in Flex for an interface prototype. The list is supposed to have an image and 3 text fields. This is what I have done so far, the control displayed is what I want. But, when I click on one of the items, the item does not appear (visually) to be selected. I was not sure how I would implement this.

i got a s:List with a dataprovider and a custom itemrenderer. now my itemrenderer has a button within. Every time i choose a item from the list, i get focus on the item, but clicking the button within the item only causes the s:List to select the hole item and wont let me press the button within the item.
is there any solution to disable the "list" selection functionallity but keeping the items within the list enabled / clickable?
as requested, here the code (relevant parts)

Why I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?
Theres any workaround for this? I have a listener for keyboard event that checks if keyCode is equal to 40 if it is then I use 'stage.focus = list', but I have to press 2 times key arrow down to start navigating through list items.
I created a list control at runtime as following:

//Where myDataArray is an ArrayCollection consisting of my Custom ValueObjects. When i execute the code it displays my list with custom item renderer, which is fine. But when bring my mouse over it, it doesn't give any colour highlight which means it is not selecting. Secondly, when i click on any of the list item, it doesn't dispatch any change event. I tried a lot but couldn't understand it.
I have an issue with Spark Lists whereby I am trying to ensure that an item is always selected and ensure that the GUI displays this to the user.
The application (full code below) creates a List, a Label and a Button. The Label states what is selected in the List. The button removes the selected item. Changing the selection, updates the text in the Label. Important: The List has "requireSelection" set to true to ensure that an item is always selected.
If I select the first item in the List, the selection is correctly reflected in the label. Clicking "Remove" removes the item and the next item is selected. This is all working correctly.[code]...
#1 How do I format the data in my listbox and combo box so it only show the "string" data and not the tags and random commas as well? (The combo box has unnecessary commas and the listbox shows tag data from XML) I'm not sure if it's in my XML or the way I'm using the XML connector.
#2 I got the XML data to the combo box and the selection from the combo to the list box. How would I get the users selection from the listbox to load a .swf into the loader component? Again, I'm not 100% of how well I did my XML and I have no idea how to use the XML connector in that way.

In a spark list I could use the change event to find out which item has been selected or deselected. The dispatched IndexChangeEvent object has the properties newIndex and oldIndex holding this information.
But with multiple selection allowed this doesn't work anymore because newIndex and oldIndex could refer to indices of still selected elements.
A solution would be to copy the selectedIndices vector to another variable and compare this variable with selectedIndices after a change in selection, but this seems to be somewhat complex.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way two get the index/item a user is deselecting while other elements are still selected?
