Take a look at this demo, how do they accomplish the Inline Changes feature? To me it looks like they are floating a movieclip over the textarea. What I can't figure out is how they anchored the movieclip to stay in the correct position. If you type something before the movieclip it moves position along with the text, the movieclips even move to the next line when the text word wraps. Does anyone have an idea?
View 1 RepliesAs part of requirements for a new feature of "locking" a page, it is desired to have all elements on a locked page be non-selectable. This is not to be confused with disabled. All elements should appear as if the page were active, but not be selectable.The current thought is to create a clear canvas and place it over the existing elements. With this thought, I have two questions:if you can think of a better way to make all items non-selectable than applying a clear canvas element over the existing elements could you describe it?if not, what is the best way to retrofit existing implementations to accept the overlayed canvas item? BTW, all .mxml pages inherit from a custom .as file.

View 2 RepliesHow to make my own button with a text label on it?
I've done the following:
created the button background and added the TextField on it called txt and packed it all to Button called MyButton. I added an instance of MyButton called btn to a stage and wrote in the main class: trace(btn.txt.text); - everything was fine. But when I added states of the button (Up, Down, Over and Hit) the txt field of buttons became null.
I have a movieclip which is scaled depending on xml data. However, I have a problem in that this results in a text label within it also being shrunk or stretched. Is there any way to make sure that the text label stays the same size?

I need to make part of a flex skin non-focusable/non-clickable, i.e. so that when the mouse clicks that part of the button, it doesn't actually get clicked. Basically, I want that part to be a shadow or highlight or background or whatever you'd like to call it.It's done somehow with drop shadows but I want to have finer control than using filters.Example code:

View 1 Repliesi am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:

I've got a Flex 3 site. I need to put the rights symbol, ®, in the radioButton's labels:
<mx:RadioButtonGroup id="myButtonGroup" itemClick="goClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:RadioButton groupName="myButtonGroup" label="{answerA}" value="{answerA}"/>
<mx:RadioButton groupName="myButtonGroup" label="{answerB}" value="{answerB}"/>
I've got the label and value bound to:

public var answerA:String;
[Bindable]
public var answerB:String;
I pull answerA and answerB from a database.
I guess that I need to use htmlText somehow.

View 4 RepliesFlex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

View 2 RepliesI need to make a small app accessible to screen reader.I'm managing to make buttons accessible, but I would also like to have a section of text accessible by screen readers so that users can hear what the text says.
I can't seem to work out how to do this.. I've tried various text controls and set them as focusEnabled, tabEnabled, i've set the accessibility* attributes too but it never seems to work, I cannot tab to a text label and hear the content.
I'm honestly a little new to accessiblity in Flex so apologies if i'm missing something obvious.

View 1 RepliesIf I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.

I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline.

how to get the label height?
