I am familiar with the method of embedding a SWF file in Actionscript and then creating a variable and assigning a corresponding UI element from the SWF.Is it possible to create and place UI elements like TextFields and SimpleButtons purely with Actionscript without first creating them in a SWF and embedding it?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to implement some MVC-style UI components in Flex 4. I want to further separate the visual setup (and later runtime modification) of each element. Primarily, I want to keep the overall layout of the data like such in the MXML file that will USE the skin[code]...
View 1 RepliesI've been having trouble creating a mechanism to allow the user to select a span of time from a timeline. Basically i want them to be able to click and drag horizontally, and retrieve the start and end positions of that event.
I especially need to include the case where the event goes off the edge of the screen (even if the end position is snapped to the edge of the screen that's fine).
While doing all of this, I want to be able to draw a box that goes from the start of the event to the current position of the mouse, so that it's obvious which area if being selected.
just like a title. I discovered that "buttonmode = true" is not enough to make a button that would act the same as "button symbol" in timeline, what properties should I set furthermore?
Background: I made my own scroll bar in AS3. That scroll bar uses a knob, that is a movie clip, I found that if I will enter inside that mc and make another symbol - "button" inside (from the same graphic) it will act very nice, BUT if I set that mc to "buttonmode" in AS, it works different. Yeah it has hand, but when I'm dragging it too fast, I'm often "losing" it. It looks like the graphic is not keeping pace, BUT (as I wrote before) if I will create a button inside that mc - it's perfectly glued to my cursor. So what should I code to get the same kind of button that I would get by entering mc and creating a button inside?
do anyone know how to load in an UIloader purely with action script withoud dragging it onto the stage?I have try the following code but it just can not work.

View 1 RepliesLet's say I have an array with 7 elements in it. I want to create a new array of 15 elements, randomly picked from the first array. Also, I want to have at least 1 of every element of the first array in the second array. How can I achieve this?
This is what I already have:

I wonder if it is possible to pre-configurate Flex Elements on the Server. I have the Problem with a custom ItemRenderer which turns out to be very slow. It would be very cool to pre-process such an element on the server instead in the clients browser... somehow? Maybe it is possible to produce the MXML dynamically on the server for that.
This is it basically. I create a Label for each data entry in an array list. This entry is added to a BorderContainer and this goes to the containing element as a whole here. Sometimes i add 200 - 300 items this way which is costing very high computing cost at client side. So i wonderd if i could just pass this as a whole dynamic mxml element to the client.[code]...
I have an array of movieclips that represent buttons the user can click on them, and so I need to use addEventListener function so the click can be handled. I can use a loop and create en addEventListener for each element, I'll have 26 elements in the array, but I want to try another solution by using only one addEventListener and apply it on the array instead of the elements. I want to know how to recognize which button was clicked, I mean what's its index in the array.
View 6 RepliesI have imported a SWC into my actionscript project. It includes many different movieclips that I can access in my project. My question is this: How can I create a custom AS3 class that I can use to add functions and properties to my movieclips?
For example I have a movieclip with a linkage name of LevelButton. I tried creating a class that was the same name but they didn't seem to go together.
how do i create an array of 30x30 elements? i have tried
Code:
p = [[0],[0]];
but it doesn't seem to work..
I wanna add dynamically (at runtime) new states to a container and, to this states, add different elements (like TextInput, Label etc.). This must be done from actionscript, I don't use any mxml file. I can add states and change properties or styles for different elements, but I didn't figured out how to add child elements for different states.

View 2 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6

View 5 RepliesI'd like to ask the following question: for instance, I have a scene in 3ds max with 10000 textured cubes. Is it possible to export this .max scene to Flash and create a .swf application, in which user will be able to rotate, zoom the scene and also select a particular cube and all this done without visible PC slowdown? After some googling I found that Papervision3D is a good tool for working with 3D in Flash.

View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new at flash development but here goes: is it possible to use xml to drive the layout of a flash website in CS3? Perhaps using ActionScript 2 or 3? In particular, I'm looking to be able to for e.g. create a news ticker where changing the XML allows you to 1) change the text and appearance, 2) framerate can be controlled, 3) interpolations between key frames can be specified (e.g. linear interpolation)
