ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Modal Effect Like A Popup Window In Flex?
Jun 26, 2011
I want to make a modal effect like a popup window in Flex, but with pure as3.
I put a filled Shape with a blur on it but doesn't look the same. I am assuming the blur effect is applied on the stage, but this would also blur the popup window. I also want several layers of modal+popup like "do you want to delete this?" and pressing yes => "are you sure?" Kind of thing.
I need to close the popup(adobe flex), non modal window if I click on the parent page of the popup. I have to do the out of focus check and then do some validation before close the popup. So what I was thinking that is there any inbuilt focus check event or do we need to create custom event for that?
I'm trying to make a popup alert modal window thing with an external class. I have a simple swf set up with just some random sample text, a rectangle, and a button. What I want to happen is for the "alert" class to initialize upon startup of the swf and then when I click the button (instance: btn), the alert will show up. If I get rid of all AS in the swf and set alert as the document class, it shows up just fine, so I think it should be working, but for some reason I get this instead when I try the button function:
I am using this nyromodal.nyrodev.com to open a modal pop-up windows on the webpage. The thing is it watches for click even on tag that has a certain class. For instance
It obviously doesn't have to be anchor tag, but they say preferably that it is. Anyway I need to implement the same thing inside the flash movie: after click on the button the given modal box pop up. It'd be nice if I can load external content inside the popup windows.
I am creating modal popup canvas window in a parent page. When I close the popup how do we get notification in parent screen that child popup is just closed.
Create a modal popup to popup with popupmanager (mine is a group with a skinnable container inside of it)Put field components (textinputs) on the modal popup Attempt to tab between controlsTab switches to controls behind the modal-popup and ignores the fact that the modal is there. The tab loop only contains controls behind the modal. I've tried everything from setting tabChildren, to hasFocusableChildren. I can't implement IFocusManager as it's Halo and my modal is a Spark group, but would that work in some capacity? It really seems like Flex just ignores the modal in its focusmanager.
For example: Say the application has two VBox with vertical layout. There is a Button in first VBox and when clicked, there is a custom modal popup being shown. By default the whole background of the application remains blur, but I want the second VBox to be visible. Is this possible? If yes how can i accomplish this?
My Flex 3 application has some modal dialogs displayed via the PopUpManager, but there are times when I'd like other view components to know there is popup displayed. The PopUpManager doesn't have any method for actually checking the existence of popups. Is there any other way to detect this in flash/flex without writing my own global manager?
(also systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren == 0 even when there's a modal popup)
When using the PopUpManager in Flex with modal = true, the background application is blurred. Is it possible to keep this blur for most of the background application but set certain components to not be blurred?
I'm aware of PopUpManager and that custom modal windows can be created.But let's say I have a simple Canvas(or any component) and when I show it the background needs to be blurred out like how PopUpManager does when a new pop-up is shown.Is this possible?
I'm trying to place a popup window (TitleWindow) in the middle of the main application window. how do i set the coordinates of my popup window to be of the main application window? i tried the localToGlobal function but with no luck, I just can't get the main window x and y.
I want to be able to show a Spark TitleWindow container as a modal without having to construct it by code via AS3. I tried creating the TitleWindow before-hand manually by dragging and resizing it around and adding objects, etc then hiding it. Then on a button, I set the called function to the ones below:
public function doPopup():void { testWindow.visible = true; PopUpManager.addPopUp(testWindow, this, true); }
Unfortunately, this only shows testWindow but not as a modal. I want it to be like this so that I can freely resize and design the layout of my TitleWindow and only have to call some function to show it as a modal one.
I made this simple application to demonstrate my problem. It has:
An image A button that launchess a popup window Scroll bars on the side
[Code]...
Is there a way to make everything "modal" except the main scroll bars? I know that I could put a scrollbar on the Panel but I would prefer to avoid this.
I was trying to make a popup window so I was just writing the code, published... and staring to nothing. I thought I made something wrong, so I checked the help and copied this piece of code from there (it's the code under MovieClip.createEmptyMovieClip()):
ActionScript Code: var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var label:TextField = container.createTextField("label", 1, 0, 0, 150, 20);
[Code]....
PS: I read about returning Void, but whatever I make, I cannot create a movieclip with a textfield inside in FP7
I need to make a pop up window effect within a flash movieclip.

There are several ways to do it.
One is to pull it out of the library the second is to place it on stage, set it visible = false via actionscript and set it visible = true when you click the button.[code]...

How to make a button which opens a pop up window(don't really knows if that's the correct name) with a image or text, centered, but the site isn't available unless I click the "x" button on that window or outside the window.
I am trying to set a variable in a titlewindow pupup and use it in a script section. The variable is not being set and I don't know why. Here is my Main.mxml file:
I've done a lot of C# programming with both Winforms and WPF. I'm working on a Flex/Air app now for cross platform support. But this is my first flex project, so I'm learning as I go. I've got a window that I want to popup, that the user will fill out a form, then hit OK or CANCEL. I set it up the same way I would've in C#, but it doesn't work, and I can't really see a way to make it do what I want.
i'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. i have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. the script works fine except when a popup window stays open. the rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. i tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
