Is it possible to make the content assist in Flex Builder to pop up as soon as I start typing and not just after pressing CTRL+SPACE? It does pop up by itself after a '.' (foo.) or a ':' (var foo:). But to get a list of available variables and methods I have to press CTRL+SPACE.
View 4 RepliesI have a components and classes project library. Within the library, flex builder only seems to display content/code assist options for top level classes (e.g. arguments, Array) but not other classes such as VBox. Also, within the non top level classes, class properties are not provided by content assist.
View 2 RepliesI am extending TextField to create my own implementation of it, and there are some properties & methods I would like to simply remove from use, eg:
override public function setTextFormat(format:TextFormat,[...]):void{}
I would like now to hide setTextFormat from code hinting, so when, in some other class, I type:
var t:MyTextField = new MyTextField;
t.set
And hit ctrl+space I only see setPropertyIsEnumerable(...) and setSelection(...), no trace of setTextFormat(...). But no matter what I do it still appears, I tried @private metatag in asdoc, as well as some made-up (like @remove, @disable, @ignore, @deprecated). Using [Exlude] doesn't work either as, afaik, it works only with mxml. Is there some way to actually accomplish this task? Or am I forever left with useless and redundant code? Some plugin maybe? (I know I can just leave it as is and don't double methods, but, nevertheless, I'd rather have it my way)
I'm trying to modifty the Flex Tree control to allow a user to select multiple items by just clicking each of the desired elements (ie I don't want them to have to press Ctrl or Shift). If the user clicks a selected item a 2nd time, it will deselect it.

Is there any way to get Flex Builder to connect to an existing browser session running Flash Player Debugger? I can connect to FDB like this, but with Builder I need to click Debug and rush to close the newly opened browser window before it loads the Flash file and then go back to the session I want to connect and right click it to start the debugger.
Unfortunately this is not very reliable as I can't always beat the window opening, requiring several attempts before being able to connect to the session I am interested in. If I could just tell Builder 'Start debugging' and then have it wait for the connection, I could now calmly go over to the browser, right click, hit debug, provide the IP and voila. This would allow me to inspect variables on a hard to replicate bug on a session running on a tester's computer.
The flashplayer catches all keys pressed by the user. I'd like to know if there's a way or workaround to pass them to the browser. For instance, Ctrl-T (open new tab in firefox). I'd like to re-enable this shortcut. Maybe with javascript?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
When a flash app is loaded in the browser, it default captures the CTRL-TAB keystroke which is needed for changes tabs in modern browsers.
Any ideas on how to configure Flash Builder 4 to not listen for these keystrokes or to bubble them up to the browser?

I'm making a Century club timer, it is to execute on pressing the start button, and then run until finished (our paused, but thats not implemented yet). To keep the timer accurate I had to use the Date() function.The timer() function is used to update the displayed time. I tried using a while-loop for this, but then the whole thing would just freeze. :S So instead a use a infinite timer that ends when currentTime == targetTime.

I have a Flash movie which fills the whole browser window. This means that always the key events are catched ("stolen") by the Flash movie only, when using Firefox. IE7 seems to be working as I want.
I want for example ctrl+w (close window), ctrl+n (new window), ctrl+t (new tab) to work in Firefox while the focus is on my Flash movie. How to accomplish this?
I'm tracking the keyUp state of the CTRL key and I'm okay with the results except when it comes to key combinations. The code I wrote below is for you to see what the issue is.
Press the CTRL/Apple key and you'll see it traces "CTRL on". Release it and you'll see it traces "CTRL off". No problem there. Now press CTRL and then press the A key (as in select all), now release A, then release the CTRL key and you see nothing traces. Does anybody have an idea about a workaround to that? I prefer not to use a continuous ENTER_FRAME hack for that if any.

If I have a component that has some states defined, is there a way to make changes in design mode but not have it tied to a particular state? For example, if I have state1 and state2, any changes in design mode will be based on state1 or state2 (i.e. width.state1). I understand this is the direction Flex is going in but I'm transitioning from a Flex 3 app and right now I just want to make the change to width and not width.state1.
View 3 Repliesso i have some scrollbar(track and button) and some content.the formula i am using to calculate to calculate y of content is the following:
//contentStarting.y and scrollbarButtonStarting.y are positions of sprites at the moment they are created
content.y = -((contentStarting.y -scrollbarButtonStarting.y) +scrollbarButton.y) * ((content.height- content.mask.height) / (scrollbarTrack.height - scrollbarButton.height));
the only problem i have is that i need to add extra space after content, so basically i want forumla to act as if content. height = content.height + extraSpace , but unfortunatelly setting the height scalesY, which is what i don't want.

The problem is that the actionscript wont repeat. I can open the menu once, and can close it once too, but after I close it (move it to x and y values of 1000), it can't be reopened.
