ActionScript 3.0 :: SetStyle Not Affecting Components Already Formatted
Nov 14, 2009
I have a form and everything is components: labels, comboBox button. I have applied a text format to all the elements.I want the user to select a font from the combo box drop down and then all fonts change. However, I can only get this to work when I don't apply any textFormats to my components initially. I know in as2 you had to setNewTextFormat, is it somewhat similar with this setStyle?
Here is my code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....

I should point out that the font of the comboBox does change because that doesn't have a text format applied to it.

According to the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible, it is possible to set a style that will affect all instances of a certain component class by typing the following code:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
_global.styles.componentClassName = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.componentClassName.setStyle("styleAttribute", "value");
A disclaimer says that "[this style technique] will work with almost all of the component classes. However, the following classes will not allow you to set a class style object: List, DataGrid, Tree, and Menu." (ch 29, pg 644)
So why does the following do nothing:
_global.styles.Label = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.Label.setStyle("autoSize", "true");

I don't want to skin a ComboBox but I want to set its style with setStyle.
I found it can be used a syntax like the one below:
aCb.setStyle("textPadding", 10);
aCb.setStyle("buttonWidth", 10);
What I want to do is the following:
eliminate the default "divisions" between list items; change the rollover color;

I can use this and it works fine
Code:
playList.setStyle("contentPadding", 50);
but this has no effect?!?!
Code:

Does anyone have a list of styles that can be changed in a list? or a reference to them?

i've list-based components. when i no longer require them, i just use removeChild() method. i've applied setStyle() method to them. i'm a bit consufed, do i really need to use clearStyle() method or without doing it, flash will take them in garbage collection?

how to use setStyle() for style attributes defined for a CSS class, but how can I change compound styles via actionscript? For example, my TabBar uses the following CSS style as part of the selected tab definition:
.myTabBar s|ButtonBarButton:upAndSelected {
}
I want to have a color defined at runtime, using setStyle() seems to be a solution there. Just don't know how to delve that deep in the levels of the CSS structure.

Some Flash components have the method setStyle(style:String, value:Object). I wonder where/if I can find a list of the styles that are possible to use here? I want to change the background alpha of a TextInput-component, but can't find the style-name for it.

Flash UI Components have many different styles to set, which require passing a string name to the setter method.while this certainly is not challenging, the use of a constants class would be beneficial but i can't find one.is there no constants class available with all of the possible style settings?

I have following itemrenderer
[Code]...
My question is Should above logic go in updtaeDisplayList or remain in set data() itself. The output is smae from both. Whats the performance impact difference if we consider it from lifecycle perspective.(The heavy computations should be pushed towards the end of the frame rendering)

Most examples of BindingUtils shows how to bind a property (either a public variable or a getter/setter) of an object at runtime.
But how do I go about to bind a property, such as "top" of a component, when it's only accessible via the setStyle("top", value); at runtime?
Should I just create a custom pair of getters/setters to affect the style properties of the UIComponent in question? Seems a bit unnecessary.

Actionscript Code:
// button pressesupKey = 38;downKey = 40;leftKey = 37;rightKey = 39;focusKey = 65;attack1Key = 83;attack2Key = 68;bombKey = 81;autoAttack1Key = 87;autoAttack2Key
[Code].....
Rather than affecting one variable, one key press makes all the others true as well

I have a movie clip, in this movie clip there is a mask. I have three layers in this movie clip, 1. the mask, 2. the item being masked, 3. back ground object. When I click on the movie clip on the stage it gives me a width of 150. 150 is the width of the Mask, layer 1, and the back ground, layer 3. trace(movieclip.width); gives 175. 175 is the width of the item being masked on layer 2 of the movie clip. Is this a quark? or is there someway to get the width of the movie clip like when I click on it in on the stage?

I have x amount of MCs arranged vertically with the distance between each being the same. When I roll over any of them the X & Y scale increases for that particular MC with a tween and on roll out they decrease to the MC's original size. Here comes the sticky bit...how can I maintain the distance between each when the scale of an individual MC is increased/decreased? I have attached a basic swf to show you what I mean. (Only the middle MC is active).

I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.

It is simple to format text with setTextFormat. But is there any affective method for retrieving all the styling that has been made on the text? getTextFormat is known but it doesn't work on text that varies in formatting.

Let's say I have ten widgets that have ten items that need to be turned off. What am I doing wrong here?
Code:
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
var tempWidget = ["widget0" + i];
trace(tempWidget);
tempWidget.item._visible=false;
}
The trace returns the correct value yet the loop doesn't turn the ten items off. Why?

I have a few language buttons on frame 1 (englishbtn, spanishbtn) in a long timeline with a bunch of keyframes, buttons and movieclips. What I don't know how to do is set up the buttons so that, when pressed, tells a movieclip on a keyframe later in the timeline, to be on a specific frame label (english, spanish).
In other words, when the game gets to the later keyframe with text movieclip, I want the movieclip on that frame to be at a specific frame in the clip (english, spanish), because the button was pressed on frame 1. Some of the text is deep in movieclips on various frames. So those movieclips need to be on the spanish frame, if spanish button on frame1 was pressed.

I am using Flash CS3 targeting flashplayer 9. I have created a menu that has 5 simple buttons in it. I use
a actionscript tween to move the menu from off the stage into view and back again. For some reason when the menu comes on the stage the hittable area of the buttons seems to be getting affected. I am dropping the menu onto the stage so I am only tweening the y property like so
var menuTween:Tween;
menuTween = new Tween(toc_mc, "y", toc_mc.y, 78, 1, true);
When the menu comes into view it is like the hittable area of the button gets squashed vertically down.Even though the text still appears perfectly fine and the background of the button looks right the cursor will only click on a small sliver at the very bottom of each button. Has anyone else seen this?
