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?
View 1 RepliesHow do you go about creating a Class that just holds constants such as the StageScaleMode or StageAlign classes. I tried just making a class with just public static constants and an empty contractor but I get errors.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a Flash site template for which I am implementing the possibility for the users to change the theme dynamically while the site is opened.Basically, the site will have a few themes available and when the user selects a new theme, all of the site objects will change their properties (colors, alpha, fonts, etc) to fit the new theme.
And my questions is what is the best approach to sending the theme information to all of the objects in the site.I was thinking of making a static class called "Theme" and when the objects need a property, they will call a static getter of the Theme class that will return the appropriate property value for the object.But, from my understanding, static properties are quite slow and seeing that I may need quite a lot of them, maybe more that 100 for the whole site, will this approach be too slow ?
I have some code from a CS3 app composed of the .FLA file with an .AS file for the class that had definitions for two private classes in it. Yesterday I brought the files into CS4 and noticed that they did not compile. Gives an 1120, access of undefined property and names a constant. I have reduced this problem down to bare bones and it still occurs, so it is a bug in CS4.

I'd like to make an object that has it's properties named by constants from another class but can't quite get it to work. I'd essentially like to do something like this:
var myObject:Object = {Event.OPEN:"value", Event.COMPLETE:"value2"};
This syntax causes compiler errors.
I have a class ErrorMessages which holds all my error messages as static constants. So I could access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD_INVALID or ErrorMessage.PASSWORD_TOO_SHORT. I want to know if it is possible to have separate classes that hold subset of these constants and access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.INVALID or ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.TOO_SHORT, etc. This way I can more structured static structure and makes it much easier to use autocomplete. I tried few different ways and couldn't figure out if this was possible..

The links are working fine. But when I try to make sentences within a <h1> tag in xml, nothing happens. What do I do wrong??
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.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the most proper way to store "global" constants for a flash app:
a static data class
a dynamic data class
a dynamic data class via getter/setter
We have a project that has been built in Flash and as3. It is a video player of sorts that we want to fully customize. We have different images and color schemes that we want to be able to change very quickly. Right now we have config constants that we turn on and off for different schemes. And in the code there is a massive amount of different spots where the images and such are changed.When we create a new color scheme or whatever, we need to create a new config. Then we have to go through all of the code and put it in correctly.Basically any suggestions for how we can take the current flash project (maybe flex?) and make it customizable a lot quicker.
View 1 RepliesI would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?
View 1 RepliesI have a class that holds some constants and will receive an object literal (associative array) with some data like this:
var ConfigObj:Config = new Config({
"Some" : 10,
"Other" : 3,
"Another" : 5
});
The class looks like this:
public dynamic class Config
{
static public const SomeProperty:String = "Some";[code].....
If I make multiple draw calls for various Program3D instances, is there a way that I can reset or nullify the constants if I'm no longer using them in the next following Program3D assignment?
Is it even necessary that I do something like this?
//Nullify 'vc0' in the vertex shader:
context3D.setProgramConstantsFromVector("vertex", 0, null);
Is there a way to compile SWC files in different targets (Debug vs. Release) similarly how you can compile a SWF file with the AS3 Conditional Compiler constants?
This link shows how SWF files can be compiled with predefined compiler constants:[URL]..
But I need to know how to achieve this with SWC files instead.
Note: I'm using FlashDevelop (Windows 7) to create the SWC (if that's any help to refine the answer).
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;

flash cs3 here I cant change the compnonent lists font values - in particular the font color...
I can use this and it works fine
Code:
playList.setStyle("contentPadding", 50);
but this has no effect?!?!

playList.setStyle("color", "red");
Does anyone have a list of styles that can be changed in a list? or a reference to them?
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.

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.
Is it possible to setStyle to a single cell in a datagrid? You can do it to an entire column, but what about a single cell?[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.
I always assumed constants to be good, obedient variables that are only set once, and thereafter never change.They are reliable and... well... constant. However, the term "compile-time constant" seems to pop up quite a bit.Does this mean that rather than treat references to the constant as references to a variable, Flash goes in (at least for numbers, booleans, and strings) and during the compiling replaces all the references to the constant variable with those actual values? For instance, this line during "edit mode":
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
during compile time, the Flash FIRST replaces it to this:
stage.addEventListener("click", onClick);
and AFTER that finishes the compiling into bytecode?
This method would be a little faster since it doesn't need to access the constant as a variable, but instead has the actual value, which is a fraction of a second saved, but it can add up in the long run.Is this what happens or am I way off? Why otherwise would there be the term "Compile-time constant", and what does that refer to?

I have an issue working with the setStyle() on the modalTransprancyColor property. The module did not run on different variations of hexadecimal code, only one that seems to work is 0xDDDDDD. Anything else, this line of code will crash Flash.

Just wondering if there is a way to read class static constants from a SWF file server side. I have found things like getimagesize() but it doesn't have all these details. I guess that means I need a partial decompiler.Specifically, I have this class in my Flex project:
