I am building a site with some features of google map. I want to pan, zoom in out a map with tweening effect.But when I zoom the map(Movie clip) it zooms out of the rectangular boundary. I also want to wrap the map(when scrolled). How can I do all these?
View 2 RepliesI have a problem with the getCharBoundaries method of a textField, it doesn't return the correct rectangle for me. To show the problem I put a long text in a textfield and highlighted the rectangle returned by getCharBoundaries for every second character. Here is my code:

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.
View 0 RepliesI would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

View 1 RepliesI am a newbie in Flex development and using Flash Builder 4 with SDK 4.

I have a window in which I want to add/remove component and resize the window accordingly based on states. but for some reason it's ignoring the first resize.here's a sample code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[code]....
when the state change to 'two', I want to add rect2 to display and increase the minWidth and size of the window. And when the state change to 'one', i want to remove rect2 from display and resize the window. This seems to work except the window doesn't shrink on the very first time the state change from "two" to "one" but works as expected afterwards. I'm not sure why it's ignoring first time I reduce the width. I also tried changing nativeWindow.bounds directly but that didn't work either.
Originally I just tried setting minWidth based on state (minWidth.one="450 minWidth.two="791") but that caused window to grow on left and shrink on right which caused the window to move left whenever the state changed. so then I just moved the window to right whenever state changed but that caused some flicker that I didn't want.
with my car, i am trying to make it so it can pass right through a MC, but just slow down. I type speed -= 5; but the car just bounces on the bound box of the other MC. How can i get it to not hit the bound box and only the actual object, AND make it pass through the object.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to develop a website in flash where the main content will be delivered as "pages" in a spiral bound notebook. In simplist terms, i want to have the image of a spiral bound notebook with "tabs" on the side that will "flip" to the selected page. When it flips, the page on top will "flip around" just like if you were holding a spiral bound notebook. that will reveal the requested "page" where each "page" contains a text box that gets its content from an external html file.
the part that i really need help with on is the page flipping. i have searched everywhere, but can only find "catalog" style flipping - which i dont want. i want only 1 page to be shown at a time with the "rest" laying underneath.

I've got a class like this:
class Foo extends UIComponent {
var someDispatcher:*;
...
}
And I want to listen for events fired by someDispatcher... But, of course, someDispatcher may not be bound until "later":
<components:Foo someDispatcher="{someOtherComponent}" />
What's the best way to listen for events from someDispatcher?I know I could bind to someDispatcher, then wire up the event handlers when it's updated... Or I could use getters/setters...
I have an mx:TileList which is bound to an ArrayCollection.I have some code that displays a "Loading..." message before modifying the ArracyCollection and some code after that hides the loading message.For small data sets, it works fine. However, I noticed with an array size of about 50~ and larger, flex will hide my loading message before the TileList is finished rendering the new data and I'm left with a blank screen for an odd second.Is there an event I can listen to that is called after the TileList is finished re-rendering? Code looks something like this:
loading_message.visible = true;
for each (var x:Object in new_data) {
tile_list_data.append(x); // bound to my_tile_list component[code]..........
In this example, loading_message appear, disappear, and then the flex app will lag before finally revealing the updated TileList.
On creation complete my parent component executes an "init" function which simply sets public bindable variables in child components. I'd like the child components to watch these variables and upon being set use them. However, for some reason the ChangeWatcher is not firing with the change of the variable. Below is my code;

How do I remove an items from a data bound array? My code follows.
for(var i = 0; i < listBox.selectedIndices.length; i++) {
var toRemove = listFiles.selectedIndices[i];
dataArray.splice(toRemove, 1);
Here is my swf. The Add Photos works except when you remove items. [URL]
Add 3 photos different.
Remove 2nd photo.
Add a different photo.
SWF adds the 2nd photo to the end.

private function OnSelectFileRefList(e:Event):void {
Alert.show('addstart:' + arrayQueue.length);

lid.fileRef = f;

I have a DataGrid bound to an XMLConnector and XMLDataSet. The XML data loads fine into the components. However, I cannot get the value of the selected index using: my_datagrid.selectedIndex
The call works fine if you use addItem to populate the grid.
Is there an issue being that the datagrid.selectedIndex parameter is bound to the XML components?
I have an ArrayCollection bound to an editable DataGrid, another component needs to know when the ArrayCollection changes (as a result of changes in the DataGrid) so it can also update itself, so is listening to the COLLECTION_CHANGE event of the ArrayCollection.
The problem is that the DataGrid only updates the ArrayCollection when the row being edited losses focus. This is not good for my app as a user could edit a column on a row and not click elsewhere on the table for a long time (causing the row to lose fucus), therefore the changes won't have propagated to the other parts of the application.
How can I make the data grid inform the ArrayCollection of a change every time there is a keyup event on a text input instead of every time a row looses focus?
There are two Sprite's hit tests, one check the object (and have no precision on the curves) and the other check a specified (x, y) point. But, having curves drawn using Graphics.curveTo(), how do I check if 2 drawn curves are colliding?I'm not sure if this is an actionscript or a math problem..I want to check all (x,y) of a curve to all (x,y) of the other curve..
View 1 RepliesHow can I cause numbers with no value to show up blank instead of NaN on forms?Let's say I have a User class with an optional weight (kgs) value, of type Number. If I edit a User in Flex I get the user object from the server and bind weightInput.text to user.weight. If weight is null on the server it will be translated to NaN in Flex, and then the value of weight in the edit form showes up as NaN. That is really inconvenient, as I would like it to just be blank if it has no value.
