I have a Flash CS4 movie that uses a standard Flash combobox. This works fine, as long as I don't use the resulting SWF embedded on a HTML page. When I do embed it, the combobox doesn't show up, doesn't dispatch mouse events, it's just as if it doesn't exist. However, if I switch to fullscreen, the combobox appears and functions normally, even if I switch back from fullscreen.

I have two Flash files on a page. One is a side bar with links and the second one is an image gallery that gets an XML file specified via FlashVars. Now, the side bar is embedded like this:

I am building a website for an online store in Flash 8. I needed to use a dropdown menu for selecting the size of a clothing item, so I just used the default ComboBox component. I thought it was working fine, until I came across a strange bug (with the component, or my own code) where the ComboBox was not showing the current selected item.
The dropdown's list works, and shows all the options, but if you click on one, it doesn't get displayed as the current selection in its TextBox. The weird thing is that it still works fine, and I can access the data ok. If I use myComboBox.text I can access the current selections text, even though Nothing is being displayed.
Has anyone come across this before, and has any suggestions for what I am doing wrong.
A few details: Here is the actual code I am using to load the options into the ComboBox: Code: Select allvar my_cb:ComboBox = this.pages.product.size_comboBox;
my_cb.removeAll();
var sizesList:Object = productData[categoryID][productID]["sizes"];
for(var s in sizesList){
my_cb.addItem({data:s, label:sizesList[s]});
}
my_cb.redraw();
There are a number of other things happening the same time as its adding the items to the comboBox, e.g. loading images, creating movieClips, etc. Could loading this be causing the comboBox to not function properly.
I'm running into a problem where for my current project I need to use a large custom mouse for interaction throughout a website. The custom mouse (a movieclip) works fine until the user needs to select a option from a ComboBox.The custom mouse clicks the component fine but once the ComboBox expands with it's options the custom mouse appears behind the expanded list.Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I'd really rather not create a 'custom' comboBox for this project as the material was already prepared and set in stone. ps:: i found this information below, but it was for AS3 and I need AS2 and in any case didn't do anything for my movie when i tried it.
Code:

I want to show some different-2(dynamic) icon in my combo Box drop down list. I am able to show icon in combo box list but I want to change the color of this icon for different-2 values.
Here is ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<len;i++){
newColor = "0x"+_root.colorList.items[i].ColorCode;
labelText = _root.colorList.items[i].DeptCodeComboDesc;
comboClip.clip.opaqueBackground = parseInt(newColor);
_root.colorListCombo.addItem({label:labelText,pIcon:"comboClip"});
"comboClip" is a clip which I want to show as icon in combobox.
I have an English based flash set that I'm localizing in Japanese. The client has written to embed the fonts in a font.swf. So I figured I can just add 'New Font' for Japanese fonts, add the class ID to the script file:
var font:LoadFont = new
LoadFont('fonts.swf',['ArialRegular','ArialMedium',
'MSUIGothicReg', 'MSUIGothicBold']);
then export the fonts,swf, and launch the main.swf, JPN fonts should show up correctly. But instead, I get blanks for Japanese characters. Does anyone know what I missed? I've tried other methods: 1) add a layer in main file, 'Character Embedding' in Properties; 2) 'Character Embedding' each text boxes in main; none has worked.
I have a dynamic text field that I would like to say "+250 Points". After embedding the fonts, it works fine with a normal font like Arial. But when I try to use a downloaded font, the text shows up with a vertical rectangle instead of a plus sign (mytextField.text = "+250 Points"; ).The font that I'm using (Arcade Classic) has a plus sign character that I can type in to the field in Flash, but AS3 won't cut it. This is after selecting All glyphs and putting in + on the extra characters to embed.

View 1 RepliesI have a series of dynamic text fields that do not show text when published. The fonts for these text fields are embedded and I do not get any errors on publishing. The project worked perfectly in CS4, but now in CS5, I had to re-embed all of the fonts in the dynamic text fields, but they won't show. What could be the problem?

Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

View 1 RepliesI know this is a no-brainer for people who happen to know the secret to passing variables from a combobox to PHP. I have wasted all day and I give up.
I have a working, secure Flash-based contact form which sends to a PHP file which then emails the information to the chosen email address.
I want someone to add a combobox to my existing code without altering/deleting anything else. That is all I want. I want to be able to compare before and after and see exactly how you added the combobox and got it to work. I do not want to see completely different code and for you to say, "Well, this is how I would do the email form and it works better." The form I have works great and is secure. I just don't know how to add a friggin' combobox.
I'm currently working on a project, and in it I'm extending a ComboBox like so:
Code:
package test.dropdowns {
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
public class Propertytypes extends ComboBox {

I've stripped the class down to the basics to make sure its all working, but I'm getting the following error:
1017: The definition of base class ComboBox was not found.

the flash on the right hand side is not showing in IE6?
This is the very simple code for the page, I have stripped out the restof the code just to get to the bare minimum code to show the .swf. It works fine with firefox but nothing is shown in IE. The .swf name (front.swf) is lowercase.How can I show the swf in IE ?
Code:
<div id="contenttabs" style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;">
<div style="padding-left:10px; margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px;" class="box">

When I add a ComboBox component into a Sprite, the height of the container is larger than it should.Here's what I mean:
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
//add combo box inside a container sprite
var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();[code]..........
the height changes from 101 to 104.
UPDATE:I've overwritten the configUI method in a ComboBox subclass, but the measurements are correct all the time. Why does the container height change to 100 ?
I'm trying to use a ComboBox control in an ActionScript 3.0 Project I've been tasked with making modifications to. I know I need to do import fl.controls.ComboBox; Now, the problem is that if I do this within the (unfamiliar) environment of FlashDevelop, I get an error. My understanding is that adding a control is a matter of feeing FlashDevelop the correct classpath, which I think I've done. Some other websites seem to indicate that if I add the control to my library this problem goes away because the act of putting it in the library links the required resources. So, how can I do the equivalent of adding to an .FLA library within FlashDevelop?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way using CSS, to set a mx.controls.ComboBox's background color. This would be the background color of each row when the ComboBox is clicked (expanded). I've tried backgroundColor, fillColors and backgroundGradientColors without success.
My ComboBox is contained within a FormItem. I've also tried setting FormItem's backgroundColor, fillColors and backgroundGradientColors. It's not clear to me where ComboBox obtains or inherits its list cell background color from.
I'm using the cs3 combobox control. I want the prompt "Select a City"to persist, but it disappears as soon as you select an item in the list. Does anyone know how to fix this?
