View 2 RepliesIs it possible to add event-based effects to Flex components (showEffect, hideEffect, addedEffect,...)? We can register them in MXML declaration
<s:TitleWindow showEffect="{myShowEffect}"/>
Can i do the same in AS code (like setStyle() for styles)?
Am trying [URL] to add the fade effects in flex by dynamically.But i cannot add the effects,here my code
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init();">
<mx:Script>
[Code].....
I have a <mx:Dissolve id="dissolveOut" ... /> Effect in an Flex page I'm working on, and I would like to reuse this effect in a <mx:Transition> sequence. Is there a way to call dissolveOut from MXML inside the Transition tag, or do I really just have to duplicate code?[code]
View 1 RepliesI've created a search with a couple of comboboxes that allow users to filter their search results. The results are currently using a TileList & itemRenderer to display, and now I'd like to add an animation effect when the user filters their results. I know that you can use the itemsChangeEffect to create an animation effect when the user drags and moves result itmes. So I'd like to know if there's a way to create a similar effect triggered by the filtering on the comboboxes?

View 1 RepliesAm working in a flex projects needs zoom in & zoom out with
more effects apart from the default effects.
I have some effects which I use in my Flex app... They are all declared within mxml tags...
For example:
<mx:Fade id="fadeIn" alphaTo="1" duration="500"/>
<mx:Fade id="fadeOut" alphaTo="0" duration="500"/>
<mx:Move id="moveEffect" duration="500"/>
[code]....
I have a flex application and I want to add a new custom component with action script at runtime. This works fine. I have created my custom component and added the following code:
var freeView:FreeView=new FreeView();
freeView.setStyle("showEffect",this.fadeIn);
freeView.setStyle("hideEffect",this.fadeOut);
[Code]....
But my problem is the fade in effecto is not working. I know I've declared the effect correctly because if I use it in another component (like a panel) it works fine.
I have multiple MXML custom components that I add on the fly (using a repeater) that is binded to an ArrayCollection. So everytime I add/remove item from the ArrayColleciton new items show/disappear from the screen. Is there a straightforward way to make item fade in when they get created and fade out when they are removed? I thought of using states and state transition effects but that will make things a bit complicated at different part of my application for those components to manage the states.
View 1 RepliesI want to make such effect: draggable semi-transparent object (let's call it 'plastic strip') over window with arbitrary objects. Plastic strip should be turbid, i.e. it blurs content under it (not blurred itself). What's the best way to do that with PixelBender shader on Flex?
View 1 RepliesI load image to control than I applie some effects, and when I save image it's saving without effects. What should i do?
Here is the code:
private var byteArr2:ByteArray;
private var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
public function process():void
[Code].....
UPDATE Appears new problem as I am using var data:BitmapData = new BitmapData(currImg.width, currImg.width); saved image is small(size like image control) but I need to save image with original size. With var data:BitmapData = Bitmap(currImg.content).bitmapData; it worked
Possible Duplicate: Flex 4 Group showEffect/hideEffect.I have an existing flex application that uses databinding to show/hide certain elements. It looks a little like this:
<namespace:CustomComponent visible="{modelObject.showCustomComponent}" />
To spruce it up a little bit, I went in and did this:
<s:Move id="ccRollIn" target="{cc}" xFrom="-400" xTo="50" />
...
<namespace:CustomComponent id="cc" visible="{modelObject.showCustomComponent}" show="ccRollIn.play()" hide="ccRollIn.play(null, true)" />
The problem with this is that while the show event plays perfectly, the item disappears from view before the hide effect has a chance to play. Is there a simple way to handle adding animations to this workflow?
How to tween/add effects for the action of tree expanding/collapsing in an AdvancedDataGrid in flex.
I googled a bit, searched the livedocs, but there doesn't seem to be a concrete example for the same.
I would like to use BitmapAsset class inside CS3 or CS5.I know that the class is somewhere inside flexSDK library (I use version 4.1). So is it possible to use flexSDK for "flash purposes" ?
View 2 RepliesLets say I pick up a pure Javascript library... one that doesn't rely on the DOM in any way.Now, lets say I want to take that library and us it in Flex. Is there any good way to do this? I can't simply include the Javascript, as it is not close enough to ActionScript to compile... but is there a good converter that will do it for me? Take the Javascript prototype style classes and convert it to ActionScript classes?
Lastly, I don't want to use the Browser for this.I know that I can always use ExternalInterface to access the browser, but I am not always running my Flex app in the browser... sometimes it is Air, and sometimes it is in a PDF.
I am using a TileList control with an effect sequence linked to the itemsChangeEffect property.[code]...
However, my data provider is a ListCollectionView that I use to filter items. When I set a filter criteria, it will hide a couple of items from the TileList but there is no animation like when I remove an item. Is there a way to animate the TileList when an item is filtered ?
In Flex 3, MX effects could be triggered like this:
<mx:Resize id="myEffect" />
<mx:Button mouseDownEffect="{myEffect}" />
In Flex 4, Spark effects are triggered like this:
protected function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
resizeEffect.end();
resizeEffect.play();[code]....
There might be small differences between mouseDown trigger and the click event, please ignore that, it's just an example.I'm not sure whether triggers would or would not work reliably for Spark effects. Maybe they would but I guess there is a reason why this possibility is not even mentioned in the official docs.
Is there a tool that will convert an exported Flash library element (ie Component/MovieClip) to an AS3 class with Flex syntax, e[Embed(source="graphic.png")]
View 1 RepliesI am embedding a flash file in my flex file and then trying to add it to the stage. IU try addChild to a canvas element and to a container element, but it keeps giving me the error, the symbol "myBtn" is cannot be converted to a IUIcomponent.
I understand that I need to place everything inside some sort of component, but what is the proper way to do this in flex?
I am looking for a) the easiest to use free chart library and b) a chart library with a lot of features for Flex. I am looking for basic line and bar graphs. What are the options available? Library size may be an issue for the application I am trying to write.
View 4 RepliesMy goal is to remove all hover feedback from the UI. The motivation is for testing touch interface prototypes and not wanting users to have the queue of interactivity when the mouse hovers which they won't have with a touch interface.
I have a partial solution but it has two problems:
Requires an event handler on each component. Flickers on hover.
protected function ui_suppressHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var b = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;
[Code].....
I have found a way! It's very complicated though... Hopefully someone has an idea on how to clean this up...
The workflow:
------------------
I'm using Flash to draw movieClips which are exported as one assets.swc file and then used in Flex for coding.
The scenario:
------------------
I've been working / thinking about this for the past 3 days.. it's driving me a little crazy. I've simplified my code down to 3 boxes that are drawn onto the screen. Each containing one background movieClip. The three boxes are three individual box clips in the Flash IDE library (different designs). But all three boxes share the same functionality.
The problem:
------------------
When using a custom baseclass (AbstractBox.as) to define all the functionality for the boxes, Flex looses all the code hinting for the movieClips inside the box movieClip (bg in our example) Also it seems like Interfacing doesn't work since as3 can't define MovieClip instances or any other variables in interfaces.
[code]...
Now my question: Why is this so complicated!? Isn't there a cleaner / simpler way to write this?
I want to use Open Flash Chart in Flex3/AS3 project?
I mean,How Can I use Open-flash-chart in Flex application client side.. ??? (I use FlashDevelop)
Can i do that by just adding .swf file?? If yes? then where to add? I am not using FlexBuilder, I am using FlashDevelop OR Command line for compiling..
Or I have to add .swc file.. ??? If yes, then how to generate one for open flash chart..???
There are missing tween libraries in my Flex Builder how to add them?
View 4 RepliesI would like to do something like this URl...but have the individual lines animate and show progress along a route. It needs to be a 'real' map so that I can feed in LAT/Longs for for the polylines. This is also a similar effect URL... but I don't need the map panning.I am aware of the google maps api for Flash but there doesn't seem to be any animation other than panning.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to setup a working method for unit testing flex libraries using Flex Builder. i have tried setting up a standard flex lib project and using Ant to compile and run the units tests. But this means that when something does go wrong and I want to use the flex builder debugger I cannot do so.
So my next plan is to setup the library as a normal as3/flax/air app as I can use the concept of a main class to run the unit tests. I can then compile the actual library code using Ant.
I could also setup a separate companion project who's sole task is to run units tests on the lib. But this is a little awkward as each library now requires two projects to manage. How do other people develop flex libraries and use unit tests to test/develop/debug the code?
I have the job of recreating a flex app in HTML and CSS. The existing app makes considerable use of TextFlow to layout content. For several reasons I need to be quite accurate (within a few pixels) with positioning.

Ideally I'm looking for a library I can use to translate these many attributes into "proper" html and css. The current technology stack is PHP at the back end and javascript at the front end, but there would be little problem in using any other language to do the translation.
Failing that I guess I'll try and write my own, using the api reference as a guide.
