I'm trying to get the sibling of an mxml tag similar to the way siblings are selected in javascript. Is this possible in Actionscript? For example, when I click the TextArea with id textarea1, I need it to tell me that the sibling has an id of rect1 so I can do further processing to it.
<s:Group>
<s:TextArea id="textarea1" click="getSibling(event)" />
<s:Rect id="rect1" />
</s:Group>
Below is the code for a simple Flex actionscript project. A sprite is partially covering a hyperlink. What's happening is that when you hover over the sprite, if you're also hovering over the hyperlink, the hyperlink is activated. I want to prevent that. I want the hyperlink to be activated only when the mouse hovers over it -- but not when the mouse hovers over the sprite which covers it.

import flash.display.Sprite;

If I have two sibling canvases displayed next to each other, can I have a child Label (or any child component for that matter) in the left canvas overflow outside of that canvas and on top of the next?
Something like this:

Flex 4 Combobox is extended with a Text Input that helps in getting to the item that is searched for.I have created a Check Box as an itemrenderer for this Flex 4 Combobox. I would like to Add a Select All and Select None options in the drop down of the Combobox. I know that i could accomplish by editing the dropdownfactory in case of a Flex 3 Combobox. But in Flex 4 the dropdownfactory doesnt exist.

suppose i have 3 buttons(for example say, productin, marketing, sales ) on my main.mxml..once i click on one button it should take me to abc.mxml page with production data, once again if i click on second button it should take me to the same abc.mxml but with marketing data. same as for 3rd button also, how can i achieve this ?
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?

I would like to include an MXML file in my MXML file in the same way you can include an external file in AS3 using the include directive. Using the include directive brings the code from the external file into the original file at compile time placing it in the same scope. For example,

I have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM's nextSibling would be what I look for. edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I'll just stick to the following (except that in my case, I'll store the actual index somewhere instead):

I had a question on OOP and the best practice for how to communicate between classes. If I have a class (SiblingA) where some one clicks something in it and you need to interact with another Class (SiblingB), what is the best method for doing this?
(option1) Should I have a bunch of event listeners in the Document Class that respond to these events? (I thought you wanted a document class to be as small as possible). (option2) Or should I create a separate 'Utility' class that speaks with both siblings to facilitate communication (event handling) between the two (one class with many public static methods). I have attached a diagram to try and help explain this.
Often times these events are dispatched from children of children in sibling classes (ie childOfSiblingA or even its children) Option1 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA, that dispatches an event to the doc class which listens for it, fires its listener function which calls a (public) method in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
Option2 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA which calls a (public static) function in Utility class which calls a (public) function in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
I think I am leaning towards option 1 but that would be a lot of dispatching events (child dispatches to parent, dispatches to its parent, dispatches to doc, doc calls child, which calls its child, which... finally does something)
On my stage is a MovieClip called Box and a MovieClip called InfoBox. InfoBox has a fucntion called setInfo. Box, when clicked (It is a MovieClip, not a button), wants to call the setInfo function of InfoBox.

MovieClip(this.parent).InfoBox.setInfo();
This produced the following error:

I am trying to learn xml in flash myself and am findingit v.hard.All i am trying to do is create a little 'story' with 3 pages.I have content loading into flash but I am unable to get the next 'sibling' into an array e.g. the title. I can only get page1's title in the array but I can never get to page 2.Here is my xml:
<maincontent>
<page1>
<title>Who is he</title>[code].....
This only traces the first title, how can i get to the second and the third so i can then display them in my text box?
Essentially, the simplified problem is this: I have a parent sprite "PARENT" with two children: One child sprite "A" that contains a number of children which respond to mouseover/mouseout and rollover/rollout events, and a second child sprite "B" that is shown/hidden based on the events in "A".
The problem is that "B" appears over "A" on the stage and when the mouse enters "B", the children in "A" throw mouseout/rollout events. Ideally, I would be able to make "B" completely mouse transparent so that the hit testing in AS3 will "see through it" to the underlying "A" sprite, but this doesn't seem possible.
Note that "B" has mouseEnabled and mouseChildren set to false... but the problem seems to be that the AS3 hit testing engine won't look at siblings when determining mouse hit testing. (i.e. It sees "B" under the mouse, sees the mouseEnabled=false setting, and then moves on to "B"'s parent ("PARENT"), but never checks to see if "A" is under the mouse (which it is)).
I can't make "B" a child of "A", because "A" is clipped and "B" needs to extend beyond this clipping area.
At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to do my own hit testing, which is far from ideal given that "A" contains a large number of children.
I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.
