I'm trying to create a navigation panel based on the Flex Accordion control. The 2 things I'm trying to figure out are how to:
modify the Accordion so that all of the of "panels" are closed by default. (normally one of the panels is open by default)treat some of the Accordian headers as just simple buttons (ie you click and an event is triggered instead of an accordion panel opening)
how to create an accordion menu with out using the accordion component.
View 14 RepliesI am using using Flash Builder to create an AS3 video player which needs to support Closed Captioning. However, I am not using the FLVPlayback component. Is there a way of doing something like addASCuePoint() to flash.media.Video;, or is my only option using Flash' Timer to do my own check?
View 2 RepliesI have an accordion component on my stage and I really do not even know where to start to do .I found this code on the Adobe help pages and it causes the movement of the accordion to bounce... which is great... but my problem is populating the accordion with the data.

import mx.core.View;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
top_acc.createChild(View, "first", {label:"FIRST", icon: vt[i]});[code]........
My accordion is called "top_acc".I have three(3) labels... (FIRST,SECOND, and THIRD) Within there i would like arrays to be displayed for the select label.My arrays are defined and when i trace them i get exactly what i am looking for... the format of the code to add an array to my accordion...then upon selecting the item in the array displayed i would to be able to display that same array value in a text box called "my_selection" ....also the amount of items in the array are not static and change day to day..
Below link is the example for it.

What is the procedure for creating the these flash files?
Is there any software for creating it?
Note: The flash file should not dependent on the xml files
I'm fairly new to actionscript and am trying to create an accordion menu that contains three submenus. The idea is that when you mouseover one submenu (or rectangle, to keep it simple) that the rectangles which were previously covering it will move to reveal it. If you want an idea of what I'm talking about, menus of this type can be found at the bottom of nvidia's[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR] site ([URL]) for reference.
At first I tried creating each function, which will make the rectangles move, separately but this resulted in three very repetitive functions and there seemed like there should be a better way, especially since I'd like a good way to add and remove submenus. The animation did work then. I tried to clean it up by creating a for loop that would move each rectangle but now, for some reason, it doesn't work. It is still missing some key points such as utilizing the mOver variable to figure out when each rectangle is moused over Here is the code so far and the very sparse file is attached.

View 3 RepliesI was going to attempt to create a vertical accordion menu with a genie effect this week.So it'll be like your normal text based accordion menu but the entries will shrink and grow depending on where your mouse is.I've never ever seen this specific type of menu before and I'd quite like to get a look at one to visualize how it should behave.

View 0 RepliesI need a control in Flex 3 that is like NumericStepper, but that can display arbitrary strings. Does this control exist?
For convenience, I'm calling this a TextStepper. I want this as a compact way to display a list of string choices that a user can cycle through by clicking the up/down buttons. Compact means no drop-down or pop-up aspects of the control: the only way to change the selected index is to click the up/down button (which updates the text input value). Value cycling means that I really want to treat the underlying dataProvider as a circular buffer. So up/down clicks modify selectedIndex in modulo fashion.
I'm currently developing a Flex application with an accordion containing 2 canvas: one of them containing a DataGrid and the other one a form.When the user clicks on one of the DataGrid's rows, it opens the accordion on the second (form) canvas. However, I'd like to open the second part of the accordion only by half, so they can still see the data in de datagrid.

View 1 RepliesI have an accordian which contains a repeater. That repeater takes an array as a dataprovider. The array in turn gets data from an XML file, on server, via HTTPService.
Now, data in the XML file gets modified after sometime frequently so I send the HTTPService after every 5 secs by using a Timer.
Problem: When the timer timesout after 5 secs, HttpService is sent, data is retrieved and showed in accordian but each time this happens, the accordian flickers. Thus, the flickering happens every 5 sec which is quite irritating.
Can I somehow remove the flickering to make the accordian update seemlessly? If it's the problem with accodian, will it persist if I use a DataGrid in place of accordian?
I'm developing an AIR application which uses multiple windows. I'm running into an issue where I want to open new windows (toaster notifications for example) when the primary application window is not visible, but the behavior is different depending on how the window is closed.
When a user hides all application windows with CMD-H, opening a new window causes all application windows to come back to the foreground (instead of just that new window, like I would expect). If the user closed a window with CMD-W, however, that window does not become visible when I open a new window.
Is there a way to either 1) tell when the user uses cmd-h to hide all windows OR 2) tell whether a window is hidden using cmd-h vs. closed cmd-w?
Is there a way to detect this in Flash?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if flex has some events that can call before I close the whole application or close browser. Since I would like to send a httpservice to a php before the swf is closed. I tried this before:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="" creationComplete="init()" remove="clearHistroy()">
But it didn't work.
Is it possible to create Accordion with only the headers without adding any containers in it? Is there a way so that I can just create the Accordion with three sections with only labels?
View 2 RepliesI want to add a button with a cross to the header of the accordion which can be clickable. that means i want to display a message when the some one click on that button. i go through many of the samples in the web but couldn't get it done.
I tried with also a CanvasButtonAccordionHeader, it shows the button but when i click it, it didn't give the message although i created the click event handler.

View 1 RepliesWhen i create a new Accordion object and add some items to it with a dataProvider The default selected Child is 0.
View 3 Replieswe're developing an app that should be able to open specified file with default editor application. (so if it is .doc - it suppose to be opened by MSWord or openOffice)
But I also need to wait until user will close the editor, check if it was changed (by size and date), and upload it to the server.
So the following steps:
1) find def editor
2) open file
3) wait it be closed
4) do smth after that with the file.
now results of my research:
-> opening by def editor is simple: file.openWithDefaultApplication();
but there is no way to know that editor is closed (maybe by checking that file is not locked in timer???)
-> i can start the native process and pass file as parameter BUT looks like the code NativeApplication.nativeApplication.getDefaultApplication(file.extension); does not work for any extension :( - it doesnt work for "rtf", "doc" but works for "pdf"... and [file.openWithDefaultApplication()] works fine with any file!
I have a for loop that I'm trying to display multiple popups with.
I seem to have multiple popups appearing on the screen, but after I'm done and close the top popup all the buttons on the others below it seem to stop functioning.
How can I make all the popups retain their functionality after the one before is closed?
Here's the code that I'm using to add the popups:
reminderadd = reminder_add(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,reminder_add,true));
reminderadd.postpone_button.visible = true;
reminderadd.title.text = "Reminder - " + remindernum;
reminderadd["add_button"].addEventListener("click",reminderUpdate);
reminderadd["cancel_button"].addEventListener("click",reminderDismiss);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(reminderadd);
In Flex (Flash Builder 4) I am opening a new window via PopUpManager.addPopUp. I have timer code that runs in my component and I need to stop my timer when that window opens and start the timer again when the window closes.
I figure it's easy enough to stop the timer in the function that opens the window, but how can I start the timer again when the window closes?
Is there a way to tell if there is a pop-up window in front of my component, or if a specific pop-up window is still open via PopUpManager?
