Flex :: Show Scrollbar To Navigate Over Tabs Only (Not Contents)
Mar 3, 2010
I need to make a tab navigator in flex3. If no. of tabs increases then I need to show scrollbar to navigate over the tabs. I am trying to do this using tabBar. But if no. of tab increases it puts scrollbar around the parent of tabBar and its content. Whereas i need to scroll only tabs not its content like in firefox.
I am using tab navigator. And it has thee tabs "Search", "Show as text", "Show on map" I have a address search box in Search tab. I would like to hide other two tabs if search has not happened yet. So if user hasn't searched any thing other two tabs shouldn't be visible.
I have an xml file it's structure like down below :
[Code]...
I looked for couple of examples It uses Xml attributes to shows as tree components' labels. But I want to show these xml text contents in tree component. But i couldn't find an example how to show as label these xml text contents.
I tried the tutorial on [URL] The Object-Oriented Scrollbar: Part 2 tutorial. Every thing is fine, but when I load the swf to main.swf
- I can scroll the scroller, but not the content - I got this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com.leebrimelow.ui::ScrollBar() at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip() at com.leebrimelow.ui::ScrollBox() .....
The scenario is: - The main timeline play and stop at 56. - At 56 the main.swf loads the sec1.swf
I have to design this scroll bar. Whats special about this scroll bar "contents" it doesn't flow freely. If it stops in a certain position. It either scrolls a little bit up or little bit down so to say the beginning of a paragraph.. I tried using this if _y=min
Ok here we go I know its a lot to read but check it out anyways! This is my own portfolio site I've been working on. Im running short on time with it. Im willing to make permalinks on my portfolio to anyone who can help me out with this. :thumbsup: Download my files and have a look, otherwise you wont see what I'm trying to do. I have broken my site down into 3 separate sections.
1. I've downloaded the Source for MX included in the "Hide/View the Scrollbar Component" page of It simply doesn't work when I open the file and publish it. I'm using Flash MX 2004, ... has anyone experienced the same problem and solved it?2. I've been able to set the scroll visibility with an external dynamic text using several procedures. One of them is:
SB1.setScrollTarget(_root.Texto1); if (Texto1.maxscroll > 1) { SB1._visible = true;
Im loading tabs for an accordion control at runtime. The number of tabs is determined by the role of the user. Each tab comes from a module so the load time is variable. As a result the list order changes every time the app is run.Is there a practical way to sort the tabs as each new tab is loaded?
I would like to have vertical tabs in Flex 4. I have started implementing this by having a vertical list down one side. On list selection I am updating the selection index of a view stack. This gives the functionality of vertical tabs.
My problem is the look and feel. How do I get the list to have a similar look and feel to the horizontal tab bar? Is it a case of overriding skins? I have found this post: Flex 4 vertical TabBar
which does implement vertical tabs. My problem with this is that I do not get any text in the tab. I think the problem is that this was originally written for flex 2. I am using flex 4 and am trying to put this component inside a
I am having a table at the backend, so when a query is asked at the frontend for an object, all the tabs in the front end should be populated with the details of the query object. I am able to pick the query object at the back end , but i dont know how to bind that object across all the tabs in flex. I am getting an error type coercion failed, cannot convert X to mx:Array collection
I have been able to disable tabs in a tab bar using the following tutorial.

This only works for mx tabbar. Does anyone know how to do this for a spark tabbar? I prefer the lnf of the spark one. When I try it with a spark tab bar it just disables the viewstack of the tab and not the actual tab. An alternative solution may just be to make the mx tab bar look like a spark toolbar with the rounded edges.
I use AS3 which I keep separate from my fla project.
I have a contact page and the textfield where you type your message is an Input textfield with multiline and textwrap enabled. The height of my textfield allows for 5 lines of text, then you will have to start scrolling after that.
I use a my own scroll bar nested in a movieclip with instance name "txtScroller" The Input textfield instance name is "messageText"
What I want to do: I want to hide the "txtScroller" mc and show it when the user has typed more than 5 lines of text (using enter to break to a new line, etc).
Now for my problem: The first part of the code works, the "txtScroller" mc is hidden, and I have even tested it with the trace function (see code bellow).
I can for the life of me NOT get the the second part to work, the part where i want to show "txtScroller" mc again. I've treid with the trace function as well but it shows nothing in the 'output' pannel (see code bellow).
The Code: This is all I have with regards to hiding or showing the "txtScroller" mc.
Code: if (messageText.numLines <= 5) { trace("less"); txtScroller.visible = false;
i am opening tabs with click event on tree list view. Problem is that i do not want open tab Pista as u can see in image again. i want to focus that open Pista tab.

My problem: I have a tab navigator, with many forms in each tab. But I have a single global save button.Problem is, if I don't open a Tab, it doesn't get initialized and therefore the forms it contains do not exist..
How Can I make it as if the user had clicked on every tab?
Is it possible to configure Flash Builder 4 to indent using spaces instead of tabs?
I've enabled Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Insert spaces for tabs but it still inserts tabs. I've tried editing files with no tabs but it still inserts tabs.
What's strange is that Insert spaces for tabs works in Eclipse but not Flash Builder, which is built on Eclipse. Perhaps there's a bug in Adobe's portion of Flash Builder.
I'm running Flash Builder 4.0.0.272416 on Mac OS X 10.6.
I am new to Flex 3.4. I want to change style of few tabs (highlight them) on click of a button. I came from a javascript background and not able interpret in Flex's way.
I'm developing a flex application to view charts and statistic data about real-time stock price. The requirement is that 1 user can view multiple windows (or panel, or canvas) of multiple stock symbols at the same time. I want to have 1 button, when I click at that button, a new panel will be pop up in a new WebBrowser tab. 1 user can open 5 or more panels like that in 5 more webbrowser tab to see 5 different stocks. And all 5 panels must be managed by the main Application. So that the Application can send stock price data to those 5 panels.
I've just recently started out using Flash Builder and have a question surrounding states. In fact I'm not entirely sure it is related to states but read on and I hope it will become clearer. I currently have a custom component that contains 3 comboboxes. This resides in a TabNavigator component. The TabNavigator consits of 5 pages (Tabs). The custom container holding the comboboxes should display the same selected data across all Tabs. ie. If I am in Tab1 and select an item from one of the comboboxes then click on Tab2 I need to mirror the combobox's selection in Tab2.
I'm trying to implement drag and drop tabs in TabBar control, but I can't figure out the index of a tab to drop. I tried to use getObjectsUnderPoint() method but I need some implementation how to find a tab to drop.
problem is I have a spark Tabbar, with many forms in each tab. But I have a single global save button.problem is, if I don't open a Tab,it doesn't get initialized and therefore the forms it contains do not exist..

I am building an app where the user can add tabs as needed. Each tab will have 4 panels insideit. I can't get my for loop to build the panels. It keeps erroring out.1) How do I create these with a loop and 2) I am wanting to put data from a data provider in here. How can I reference the panel in the vbox in the tab control in the future?
function addNewTab():void{ if(labelText.text!=""){ var newVbox:VBox=new VBox();
When I create a tab dynamically via ActionScript, the style for the newly created (and selected) tab get applied to the skins, but not the text, unless I click on another tab and then click back to it.
