Flex :: Best Way To Handle Clicks On Menu Items?
Mar 11, 2010
I do not know why but I see that itemclick event on a menubar do not fired unless you click a sub item. What is the clean way to handle clicks on menuitems which are on the top level and do not have sub menu items. For example I want to fire an event whenever MenuItem B is clicked.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- menus/MenuBarControl.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]" >
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label" itemClick="{itemClick(event)}" >
<mx:XMLList>
[Code] .....

I'm trying to use a flexlib schedule viewer in my application. I want to have it so that when I click on a scheduled event, it calls a function in my main app (that will allow me to edit the event). But there doesn't seem to be any specific function for anything like this built into the class ie no event dispatched when I click on an event.
I can use the 'click' function to detect that the item has been clicked on.. and have tried something like this:
[Code]...
This method isn't very reliable because if it only works the first time.. once an item is selected, it stays selected so all following clicks on the item fulfills the condition.
Is there any way to determine whether an event was being clicked on? Or do I have to extend the component and add some sort of clickEvent when an event is clicked on.

I have an arrayCollection with the following structure:
[Code]...
the AC is defined as follows:[Bindable] private var projectErrorsAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
I'm using this AC in a repeater to display each error. After each error is shown, I've placed an "Accept" and "Deny" button. Once the user clicks either one of these buttons, I'd like to call a function that removes the particular error from the AC. Here's what I have so far:

I basically want to be able to drag any item out of that list, and when doing so, have it that item automatically go to the bottom, and have the remaining items scroll up. I can handle the drag and drop part of it, but I'm confused on how I could get the remaining column of items to dynamically move up depending on which item is taken out. I'm thinking mayble along the lines of an array?

I need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]

scrolling 2 sprites. Look at the image below. [URL] FLA LINK (please take a quick look)[URL] I have this entire program working but i need to scroll the left menu and the menu where all the items are added. One more thing, the right menu can have only an few items at a time that do not need scrolling but when more are added then the scrolling will need to take effect.

I've got some buttons that just navigate around the timeline. I was trying to make a switch statement that would save me some time writing code. This is what I've come up with, but it doesn't work. The buttons each have a rollover function as well that works just fine. The traces are in there for debugging.
for (var a=0; a<mainButtons.length; a++){
mainButtons[a].buttonMode = true;
mainButtons[a].addEventListener(rolled, hideDbases);

So I have an animation I'm working on, its dialog driven and I want a vertical menu of questions the viewer clicks on. When its clicked it plays a specific sequence of animation, that part I have covered. Depending on the question clicked however, I want the menu to update with follow up questions.
-several menu items need to open up new menu items.
-the new menu items appear beneath the previous item.
-each new menu item needs to highlight text.
-each used menu item needs to dim text.
I'm mostly a script kiddy, I find stuff similar to what I need and take it apart and rebuild it to my needs. But I haven't found anything of this sort. The closest thing I have is creating a menu with an array.
I thought to assign the initial array values to questions as they would appear on a complete list. The idea is at the end of a string of dialog to run a check on a specific array value, if it comes up false, create that value and hence the new menu item is in it's proper place on the list (including appropriate highlight/dim text color). The problem is that when I run a trace I get a bunch of undefined values in-between. I don't want a menu with "undefined" text labels/buttons, is there a way to run a check for undefined during the menu loop and tell it to skip to the next value?
is this the best way to handle this project? I'd rather not create a complex movie clip of every possible menu configuration and run a ton of value checks with goto frames.

i have a movie clip (mc_1) inside of this movieclip i made
-one button ("start") : by its event Roll_Over the animation (of mc_1) starts
-ten menu buttons (b_1,b_2,b_3,....,b_10) : at first they're not on the stage, but they appear one by one,frames by frames, after I rolled over "start".
-one invisible button (inv_btn): placed right under the area occupied by those previous buttons..by its RollOut event i make the menu rewind so the ten buttons disappera one after one other.
now i have to put the menu buttons inside an array (cause i made a script for dynamic loading images from XML) but i receive #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. this is why i put in the array buttons that at first doesn't even exist...and when the menu closes disappear again..how can I handle the situation?
//this is the array code i put in the first frame of mc_1.
var bottone:Array = new Array(b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4,b_5,b_6,b_7,b_8,b_9);
for(var i=0;i<bottone.length; i++) {
var but_var:MovieClip = MovieClip(bottone[i])
but_var.buttonMode = true;
but_var.id = i;

I would like to use the selectionMode=multiple described in the Flex docs, but with a few modifications:
1) I would like the box that the user drags over the graph to remain there until the user drags a new one.
2) In the top right corner of the box I want to display the sum of the items selected by that box.

I'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".

I have two PNG images that have text in them as menu items. When clicked, a new XML file is loaded and new set of photos is displaying.Everything works fine, but I want the menu item to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over the item. In other words, so that new image is displayed in place of the old one on MOUSE_OVER, and the old image is back on MOUSE_OUT.
As of now I have two menu items, Portraits and Weddings, movie clips where they are displayed are MenuPortraits and MenuWeddings
I have following properties:
[Code]...
I do see switching of images, but if I leave mouse over - it switches back and forth with high speed. Eventually, when I move mouse out - it can stuck on highlighted state.
