ActionScript 3 :: How To Use Skin From Main Application In Flex
Feb 11, 2012
I have an application with a SWF loader. From the loaded SWF file, I'm accessing public variables from the main application with this:
[Bindable] public var global:Object = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication;
Alert.show(global.myvar);
This all works perfect. I have a MXML skin file (for buttons) in a directory called 'skins' in the main application. Is it possible to use this skin in the child applications?
I've already tried this, unfortunately not working:
[Bindable] public var global:Object = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication;
<s:Button label="My Text" skinClass="{global.skins.menuButtons}" />
And this, but then it can't compile anymore:
[Bindable] public var global:Object = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication;
<s:Button label="Button 1" skinClass="global.skins.menuButtons" />
<s:Button label="Button 2" skinClass="FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.skins.menuButtons" />
Is it possible what I want in another way or do I have to copy the skin to the all the projects where I want to use the skin?

Is there a way to get a list of all the skin classes that are in the current application? I'm using Flex 4.5.1.
Here is the loop that I'm using now to get all the skins,
for each (var item:Object in styleManager.typeHierarchyCache) {
for (label in item) {
if (label=="spark.components.supportClasses.Skin" ||
[Code]....
The reason why is because I want to list all the skins in the application and then be able to apply them in real time so I can see what they look like.

I've created a client with login acces in Flex. After the succesful login i have to show a table based on a mySQL server. The database is composed by some tables, and I have created 6 flex mxml components with each own scripts for each of those tables. How can i load sub-applications, for example with a PopUpButton or a TabBar in the main application?

SkinParts are a great way to add event handlers and logic to an object that is instantiated in the skin, away from any business code. Often, though, I find myself wanting to do the opposite, and define parts that will be used in reusable, skinnable containers in the parent mxml files which will be inserted into the skinned containers.
What's the best practice for when you want to be able to define a control and a skin which can be reused with different controls inserted from outside the skin? Edit: A better way to put this might be that I want to use something that works a little bit like a SkinnableContainer, but that isn't limited to one area where content can be placed.

I have a List with TextInput as item renderer. I want to get the value entered in the TextInput (form the TextInputItemRenderer) and pass it the main application to do some checks(upon tapping enter on the textInput -- see code below).
I know that we can do it thru dispatching event but I still don't understand how to pass a variable from the ItemRenderer to the main app.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

I've got a module, MyModule which requires a large library:
<mx:Module>
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
import com.huge.library.AwesomeThing;
var myThing:* = new AwesomeThing()
]]></mx:Script>
</mx:Module>
And that large library isn't referenced from my main application, except through MyModule

Im a complete beginner in Flex programming. I have an application with a main .mxml file, and a certain class Foo that I call from the .mxml. In Foo, I make a URLRequest and listen for the Complete event. Then I found myself with the returned data in a Foo function, but I have no idea how to communicate it to the .mxml part of the application ! I looked into ArrayCollections but I can't seem to understand how they work. Isn't there a way to modify, from inside the class, a variable with a global scope ?

I know that the best way to make a connection from my main app to my modules is through interfaces.
So, my problem is, how can I implement an interface so my module can send and receive data from my main app?, cuz, I understand that my module implements an interface that is used by my main app.. but, can I do it "viceversa"?
Other issue I have is, why do I need to call my main app children if I can just import a module's class?.

I'm implementing a Flex application with several modules.I'm reusing the same component in all these modules.I was wondering if I'm correctly importing it in each mxml module definition: xmlns:hillelcoren="com.hillelcoren.components.*"Should I import it only once, in the main application mxml instead?

In my main application I have a viewstack with 3 child views. In the viewstack change handler, I programmatically change the selectedchild property.
I understand that the initialize method for the view is not called every time I change the selectedChild Property. So I tried to invoke the init method programmatically too..

It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.

I'm using the default CS4 FLVPlayback skin, mainly the SkinOverPlayMute.swf. I know there's a skinAutoHide option, but because I don't want it to auto play, I want people to see a play button when they first encounter the video (so they don't think it's just an image). But the skin needs to hide when the video is actually playing (so the video doesn't get blocked by the controls).
In other works - when video isn't playing: skin showing; when video is playing: skin hide.

There's an HTML technique known as innerHTML that allows Javascript to add/delete/edit HTML elements. Can actionscript do something similar to MXML?
For example, my main application's mxml part is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Button x="29" y="347" label="Button"/>
</mx:Application>
But after running an actionscript code, I want the user to see the result of:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Button x="29" y="347" label="Button"/>
<mx:RichTextEditor x="183" y="24" title="Title">
</mx:RichTextEditor>
</mx:Application>
Is this possible with Actionscript inside a MXML file? p.s: is this possible with Degrafa library elements?
