how to get this to work, but I've finally gotten Loadvars working dynamically. However, now I need to take the "avatar" variable and use it to populate a list component. I keep reading dozens of different ways to do it - turn your variable into an array in Flash, etc. What is the best method?
View 6 RepliesWhat i have is a list box populated from an XML file, in this XML file it will contain name and description What i would like is when a name is clicked/hovered over from the list menu... in a seperate text box component the description for that report will appear!!
Here is the XML :

Just switched over to CS3, still adjusting to the many many changes. How on earth do you change the text color styles of a List component in AS3? I know it was easier to directly access the .color, .rollOverColor properties in AS2, but I can't find *ANY* comparable feature in AS3. I can see how everything else is skinned, by navigating the layers of symbols within the component.
View 8 RepliesI'm making a game and I an in-game editor that is able to create entities on the fly (rather than hard coding them). I'm using a component-aggregation model, so my entities are nothing but a list of components.
What would be the best way to obtain or generate a list of components? I really don't want to have to manually add entries for all possible components in some giant registerAllComponents() method or something.
I was thinking maybe somehow with reflection via either the knowledge that all components inherit from the base Component class, or possibly via custom metatags but I haven't been able to find ways to get a list of all classes that derive from a class or all classes that have custom metatags.
So you've created a list and hooked it up to your data. But wait! Someone decided to enter, street as their address. Or named their kid John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, and all of a sudden, your list has a bizarre scrollbar running across it, right in the middle of the component, where no human being would possibly want a scrollbar.
As someone who considers himself clever, I've tried setting the width of the individual list components. This fixes the immediate problem of the scrollbar, but now the overrun from the list has hid itself invisibly underneath the next list element.
Is there a sane way to deal with this so that the elements of the list will adjust themselves vertically to hold the content?
I'm building a multiplayer game which when connecting to the server, the server sends back a list of available rooms (each room has MaxPlayers,MinRank,TableId,TableName,Password) so everytime I recieve these 5 strings, I create an instance of Mxml UI Component I have created and fill it with the relevant details. In the main.MXML i've added an AS3 script variable to hold the GameInstances object i've created when rcvd data back from the server: private var gameInstances:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); GameInstance.mxml is a component that has UI components in it and AS3 script to set some data. When rcving data from the server in main.mxml :

I have a list component
var theList:List = new List();
theList.dataProvider = new DataProvider(listArray);
theList.rowHeight = 93;
theList.rowCount = 4;
theList.setStyle('cellRenderer',ChoosePanelListCell);
how can i specify vertical gap between the cells of List?
I am using a List component inside an itemRenderer. The main user interaction involves dragging an item from the List in one renderer and dropping it in another. My problem: When the data object is updated I want the Lists' height to be modified according to the number of objects in the dataprovider(dp), which is passed to the List from the data object. Now I have tried to invalidate the display of the List, refresh its dp and have tried putting this line assets.length > 0 ? assetList.percentHeight = 100 : assetList.height = 10; in other event handlers, such as dragdrop handlers, collection event handlers for the dp etc. I have also tried refreshing the dp for the List component that is using this renderer. The view does eventually get updated but only if I resize the list, or use the scroller or when I begin dragging a new List item but never after the drop.

I need to create a slideshow using data received from another view.I'm calling the slideshow's view like this:

I have a component that contains a list that implements a custom renderer. I use this component as a tooltip, keeping one in memory and just altering the databindings as necessary.
Something like this where TTComponent is a class that extends Canvas:
<s:TTComponent>
<s:BorderContainer>
<s:List id='lstItems' dataProvider="{data.Items}" width="50%" borderVisible="false" contentBackgroundColor="#222222">
[Code]....
Now, what happens is when data containing many items is set to tt.data, the list resizes itself larger and displays fine. However, after this, if data containing few items is set to tt.data, the component momentarily displays larger than it needs to be, then resizes itself smaller.
What I'd like to do is have the component resize itself before it displays, so I don't see the resize on screen.
I am using several instances of the same custom component on the same SWF. The component is essentially just a textfield with special sizing requirements. I also have another "wrapper" component that deals with the info from the textfield components. I was initially planning on using the stage index to associate the data with the textfield component it came from. This became more complicated than I anticipated. When I trace from the wrapper i can't get the index of the textfield components. So I got it in the component code and sent it with the info to the wrapper via a custom event. The problem there is that i can't tell which component is which because they are indexed identically. I can also see the component shim as well as the textfield.I'm just really confused about how programmatic components work on the display list.
My main Question. Is there a better way to associate the info with the proper component? I guess that's my only question. Please point me in the right direction.
EDIT2: I created a dummy place-holder component that just draws a rectangle then at runtime replaces it with programmatically generated textfield component.
how to create a List components for Nokia mobile. For your information, i have visited the Nokia website about that.[URL] That website also can download the source code and documentation. What the problem is, that documentation doesn't show the tutorial how to add item, scroll the list and so on. Below is the feature of my mobile phone for clarify.
Mobile Phone: Nokia 5800
Flash : Flash Lite 3.0
Feature: Mobile Phone Touch screen
how to use a List components from Nokia. Just to know how to use the code for add the item, delete the item and scroll list.
I am working on this project I am doing for my video player application. Everything works except the list component which is supposed to be filled dynamically by xml labels.
View 1 RepliesI want to get rid of the typical Flex roll-over color in list-based components, and to display my own style of roll-over rendering. Setting useRollOver to 'false' is not an option, since disabling that will also make the List.isItemHighlighted() function to always return false. My custom renderer relies on that function. Can it be so hard? Is there no way of setting that roll-over color to transparent? Is there some other way for my renderer to figure out if an item is highlighted?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a swf, that has a parent class and a child class. The parent class has a button, that dispatches a custom event and I want the child class to list for this event, but when I dispatch the event the child class does not hear the event has been dispatched.[code]The register EventListeners() function is in the child class.I know events can bubble up the display list but how can then go down the list?
View 1 RepliesI have a spark List defined as:
<s:List id="symbolList" dataProvider="{symbolListCollection}" change="symbolNameChangeHandler(event)"></s:List>
With the change handler defined like this:
protected function symbolNameChangeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
symbolList.validateProperties();
changeSymbolView(symbolList.selectedItem);
}
and symbolListCollection as an ArrayList filled with Strings.
At first, the change event works fine, and I get what I expect.
However, if I Ctrl-click on the selected item, to de-select it, i am unable to ever select an item again.
When I click on something to try to select it, the change event DOES fire, however, the ItemChangeEvent has both oldIndex and newIndex set to -1
I have a custom component, containing a List displaying items from an XMLListCollection:

Also if I click twice, only 1 mouse click will cause my custom event to be dispatched (because obviously there is no change between the items). how to make my List only react to mouse clicks? UPDATE: Yes, I've tried using "change" event for the List before, but then I have the problem that it is fired, even if the List scrollbar is clicked.
Do you know any flex component with the functionality such as horizontally collapsible window or panel I found arc90, but it folds vertically.

I have brought in an XML document into Flash (AS3), and can pull any string that I need to into the output window. That is all fine and good - but what I need to do is set var values to be used later.
Here is the simple XML:
Code:

<config>
<setting type="buffer">5</setting>

This outputs what I want, but the problem is: if I try and trace newVar our assign another variable the value of newVar outside of the processXML function, it isnt there.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around getting data into my project in a way that I can use.. I want to use MySQL & PHP my Flashbuilder app and I'm not populating a datagrid so......
For simplicities sake, In my database table I have 3 columns "ID, Title & Content". I want to use this to populate the different states in my flashbuilder project.
Normally in a web page I could say in the sql statement "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 1" to get the first row of info and I could put my Title and Content where I want them on my page I can change the query to "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 2" to populate page 2 to get it's title and content.
In flashbuilder it all on the same page and I'm not understanding how to populate a singular text field for a title or content area with a single field from the database.
my required tree structure is as follows

where the component before / represents parent and the children of the corresponding parent are separated by , Can anyone provide me the logic to create a array collection for this hierarchy to set as dataprovider to my tree.
