Actionscript :: Get Flex Components To Fill Available Space?

Jan 19, 2010

I was laying out my Flex components using mxml and had them working correctly. But then I wanted to switch them over to Actionscript because I wanted them to extend a base component that provides default functionality.

I've go the code working except that my components that used to fill the entire space using width="100%" and height="100%" appear to display just using the default sizes. Do you know How I can get them to take up the entire space again?

Here is a test component I am playing with that exhibits the problem.

Main.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:bbq="components.*"

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 3 Alert Text Doesn't Stretch To Fill Space?

Aug 27, 2009

I'm trying to display some simple information in an Alert (I'd rather not use an alert, but I need a fast n' simple solution for a project that's got to be out the door asap)

how large I make the alert, my information never stretches out, and ends up being clipped.

I can actually scroll through the text with the mousewheel, but that's no good.

The image says it all. I can't imagine Alert just doesn't handle this.

Code:

var myAlert:Alert = Alert.show("The package you have selected includes a feature(s) you've already selected.
We have removed the individual features for you.");
myAlert.height = 150*2;
myAlert.width = 350*2;

Flex :: Align Image To Bottom When It Doesn't Fill The Space Allocated For <mx:Image> ?

Mar 28, 2011

I have an image that doesn't fill the <mx:Image> tag because it's not the exact dimensions (it is too short) and I have maintainAspectRatio set to true:

<mx:Image id="theImage"
source="{data.photo_thumb}"
horizontalCenter="0"[code]....

The <mx:Image> tag has a fixed width and height (it's 100% of the tile size--this is in an ItemRenderer). How do I get the image to sit on the bottom of the <mx:Image> tag?

IDE :: Resizing Text To Fill A Space?

Feb 4, 2009

I am dynamically loading text into a text area. I want the text area to have set dimensions, but the text itself to resize in order to fill up the whole text area container.For example a short line of text would be made a bigger size than a large line of text but each would perfectly (or near perfectly ) fill up the same X by Y sized text area.I have seen a lot of posts about resizing the text area to comply with text, but I want to do the opposite - resize text to comply with text area.

IDE :: Use Paint Bucket Tool To Fill / Color Concretely Space In Picture?

Aug 29, 2009

I am beginner in flash and I started to learn flash c4 (with video lessons in my language but from flash 8! but it is not problem now about drawing than only about code in actionscript). I have now problem in using of Paint Bucket Tool in flash cs4. I made a ship, I made a whole document/white page for drawing in rectangle tool (frame for picture), and I made to lines which will be like a hill. it is for background, behind the ship. but when I want to color this background, to be green for example, my Pain Bucket Tool don't want to color ONLY place behind the ship and under mentioned "hill lines", than Paint Tool color whole document. therefore I can't make a hill because I get everything colored in green.

I tried all option about closing of gaps. how can I color only wanted places in picture and not whole picture? "hill" is not strait line so I don't know how to select hill space. of course, after it I will have to repeat process to color space above "hill lines", it will be blue like sky. and just to say that "2 hill lines" are from left to right side of document, there is no hole, it is closed line.

Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).

Flex :: Example Flex Zend AMF Sharing Web Services Between Components In ViewStack

Aug 10, 2011

I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.

Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?

Flex :: Efficiently Fill Data Gaps In An Sparse ArrayCollection?

Aug 10, 2010

I have an ArrayCollection of Objects. Each Object with three attributes:CustomerID, Income and DateMy goal is to chart this data for each customer (or a couple together) in a Income by Date LineChart display. Selection of customers is done with ArrayCollection filters.Data is fetched from an SQL database, however, each customer has some data points missing.f there was zero income on August 8, 2010 there will be no entry for that.Charting the ArrayCollection as is, is misleading because there is no indication of the missing data points.One way to solve this is to artificially add zero points for the missing dates for each customer. However, this would explode the data set (and impact performance).

Flex :: Custom ProgressBar Bar Skin Won't Fill Entire Track?

Apr 14, 2011

I'm trying to create a simple skin for the flex progressbar control. Both the track and the bar should have rounded corners, and the bar should fill the track completely in the parts where it is being shown.

Here is the bar skin I've created based off this example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

[Code]....

Instead of the bar being flush with the track, there's a margin, and the rounded border gets cut off.
