ActionScript 3.0 :: SetStyle Not Working For Components Already With A TextFormat?
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:
PHP Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
[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:
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");
This is a bit of code that lets the user click somewhere and type in some text. Everything in my code works except I can't seem to set the text format. It defaults to Times New Roman. Do I need to embed the fonts or something?
I'm trying to put some leading on a body of text, however it doesn't seem to work after a stylesheet has been applied. Without the stylesheet it works..
I'm having a problem with a my TextFormat object in the Letter class I've created. Whenever I call a class function that alters the TextFormat object (formatText,sizeText,colorText), the next time that one of these functions is called on a different instance the common formatting is applied. I've read that you need to redefine objects or arrays within the class constructor in order to make them unique to instances. I think I've done here with this code but it is not working:
I'm using a non-window default font (installed on my PC) to show in a text field. This font is also present in my library with appropriate linkage name. Now if i use this font in the TexFormat the font does not show, instead the text is shown in default 'Times' font.But if i use "Arial" as TextFormat font then the textfield's text appear in arial font, although the arial font is not present in the library.
Code: var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); myformat.font = "MyradPro"; //"Arial" works fine.
I have 2 components in my Flash doc called "slideshowpro (SSP)" and "thumbgrid (TG2)" with corresponding linkages "net.slideshowpro.slideshopro.SlideShowPro" and "net.slideshowpro.thumbgrid.ThumbGrid".
When I publish and upload the SWF to my website, [URL], SSP and TG2 are not linked and only SSP resizes to browser and functions in full screen mode. SSP works great but TG2 does not move. How do I link SSP and TG2 so that they both act in sync when full screen function is used and when resizing to fit browser.
I used the following AS3 for SSP: import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*; stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; resizeHandler(null); function resizeHandler(event:Event) my_ssp.setSize(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight); } stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
I have decided to give these components in flash a try and can't get it to work.I am using the following components, a Checkbox(instance name chkPrivacy), TextInput(instance name txtName) and a ComboBox(instance name cboName) on my stage.I have a "submit" button that I made.On my submit button, there is the following code:
Code:
on (release) { cmdSubmit_onRelease(); }
On frame 1 of my timeline I have the following code:
When I try to submit, I get an error like it could not find the file form.php+txtName=undefined+cboName..... something like that.I dont know how to get that checkbox thing working to send a variable out to my form.php
I have a main movie that loads a child movie clip. The child movie clip is a security access movie with 2 input boxes (standard input box components). When I run the child movie on its own the input boxes work fine.When I load the child movie from the main movie input boxes do not allow me to write in the input boxes. The cursor remains blinking inside the component but does not respond to keyboard.This is the code in the main movie that loads the child:
security.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, fsecurity); function fsecurity(e:ContextMenuEvent):void{var loadera = new Loader();addChild(loadera);loadera.load(new U
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?
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)
I am created a dynamically adding a VBox, that contains two images. Into a Custom Component that is derived from UIComponent. The problem is the Vbox that contains the two image is only a really tiny size. I would like the VBox stretch to the size of the two images. This is how I am creating the Vbox....

i need all valid strings for first string parameter and 2nd valid argument for there value setting,
i have some of them that are given below but i need all possible values for this function
Is it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?
