I have a client that wants a WYSIWYG form that behaves like MS word. It will have some section labels in it, with users expected to enter notes for each section, and it needs a place holder for a chart. The trick is that the user needs to know where page breaks are going to fall when printed. The customer agrees to fixed size paper with fixed sized margins. [code]...

View 0 RepliesI have WYSIWYG text editor for flash. Works great. Allows me to edit text, save it as a text file and then load it either back into flash or alternatively into HTML. Problem is that Flash uses the <font> tag which is deprecated in HTML4 and will be removed in HTML5 due to CSS. So given that flash can use CSS I wonder:Is there a way to build a WYSIWYG text editor in Flash that uses CSS ?Has anyone heard of this being done? or even done it them selves I'm after any information at all even if it's just a reason why it won't work or assurance that it will.

Will be happy to hear any feedback,
Added fixes described in answer 1. but come across interesting issue: e.g. browser scroll bar appears only on browser window resize, not when clicking add button...
http://img.skitch.com/20100210-qx9trerh8rq5athhnuwtidetr6.png
After add is clicked several times, I see flash default scroll bar...
I'm creating the Label component like this
var label:Label = new Label();
label.text = "some text";
label.styleName = "someStyle";
addChild(label);
But it stay invisible until I explicit set the width and height.How can I make the label to be auto resized according to it's text?
I posted the same question but I think it was not so clear. Now I am rephrasing my question with real problem.I have a flex application. It is basically a web application. On it I have a player that play avi files and some buttons and tabs along side.The application also have recording button that records that direct stream from an IP cam and store that stream on the media (USB). How can I automate function testing of such application. Like I have confusion that when I press the recording button but can I be sure that recording starts? I have tried RIATest and flexUnit 4.
View 2 RepliesThe entire box at the top is a Flex application. The box on the left with the list of pinball machines is a VBox. As you can see, if you try to scroll with your mousewheel, it doesnt respond. The reason this is shut off is because I found that if it's turned on, when you scroll up/down, the whole page goes with it. So if you scroll down four or five times, the application goes out of sight.I tried finding a solution to this when I programmed this last year but wasnt able to find any answers.if there's a way to make Flex grab the focus of the mousewheel and not let the browser move as well?
View 4 RepliesI'm fairly new to Flex. I want to make a button (icon) on the far right in the middle of the page that display a sliding side bar with multiple buttons in it when you hover over it. I want when the user hover out of the button bar it slides back again.
Conceptually I got the basics of that to work. The issue I'm having is that when the user moves the mouse between the buttons in the sidebar it kicks in changing state and side bar slides back again. I tried using different types of containers and I got the same results.[code]...
I made a custom server that accepts TCP connections on a certain port. I made a corresponding client that sends data to the server. The client writes to the socket and the server seems to accept it. In short, the server / client rig works. Now I want to re-create the client only this time, via Flex 4 / Flash Builder 4. How do I go about making my Flex 4 app connect to my custom server?
[code]...
With that type of approach, the server doesn't seem to be receiving any connections at all. And also, even though I set the requestTimeout to 5, my Flex app seems to continuously try to connect to the server because I rigged it so that the button when clicked will call this HTTPService also that certain button would get disabled and it will get enabled again after it the connection successfully connects, returned an error or if it timed out.
So with all these said, I want to ask you, what is the best approach to making my Flex app connect to my custom made server?
I'd like to make a series of components into a solid, consistently repeatable object. For example, suppose I have a "notification" template that I want to add to a notifications area every time something new happens. This template includes an icon (Image), text (label), and some space between these two things.
I want to take a template like that and make it so I can invoke it with a function like add_notification("icon", "text"). How would I go about doing that?
I'm trying to make a Flex Tree Component display the children of a sprite in a hierarchical way. Moreover, dragging the items on the FlexTree would resort and reparent the items. I have special Elements set as Folders. This would allow other elements to be added there as a children by dragging an element on the tree and dropping it there. I have a failed attempt which works, but breaks when I try to add folders. Basically, it fails at reparenting the items by dragging and resorting folders and that Does anyone know of a component or something which can do this, has anyone have created any of this or could anyone give me a clue?

View 3 RepliesI am building a website of songs library using flex, I have made an mxml file for each page, for example the home page, albums listing page, album details page, search result page and so on. I want to know how would I link them all together, for example on the home page there will be some featured albums when I click on an album am supposed to go to the swf file of the album details same if am clicking on an album from the search result page.I've checked the Adobe Flex Help and found the SWFLoader Control but I understood that it's intended for loading swf files that add graphics or animations but not for something that will have user interaction and in my case there will be user interaction like for example in the album page users can add comments, review comments added by other users, rate the album, buy it and so on.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project where I need to make a Flex application that fills the entire browser window (note that I mean that the toolbars should be visible and all that even if I say fullscreen).To develop the SWF I'm using FlashDevelop (for the first time) and I'm stuck. When I build the project it displays no error and a file website.swf is generated.When I browse to this file with Firefox, it displays what I want and in fullscreen. However when I go to the generated index.html I get a white horizontal bar at the top of my screen (again the browser window).I've looked around a bit on the internet and found several people suggesting that the CSS should include stuff like:
<style type="text/css">
html, body { margin:0; height:100%; overflow:hidden; }
body { margin:0; height:100%; width:100%;}

I wanna set a custom skin on my progressBar, but it's not working out the way I want it to. My skin has 3 different colors on it (green, yellow, red) and green should show until it's about 50%, then I want the yellow to appear after green and the red at 90% after green and yellow. So at 100% they should all show.The problem is that the ProgressBar only sets the width of my skin so all colors are showing at all times. But if I use the indeterminateSkin but dont set indeterminate to true that doesn't happend.How can I make a skin that doesn't just change width? Atm I'm just using a MovieClip for a skin.

I am working on a project that is utilizing Flash Professional and Flash Builder. The art team creates assets in Flash Pro and publishes the project as a SWC. I then copy the SWC into my Flash Builder project's lib directory and access the assets through that. The art team is creating a lot of the same type of thing; let's say they're making lots of lizard symbols/components. All of these lizards have similar animations (walk_left, walk_right, etc.) and because of this they all have constants defined in ActionScript (WALK_RIGHT_START, WALK_RIGHT_END, etc.) relating to the keyframes in their animations.
From the Flex side of things, whichever Lizard I load, I want to be able to tell it to walk left. So I created a superclass in Flash Professional and now all of the AS classes for the lizards in Flash Professional extend this class - Lizard.as This is all fine and good, but when I want to add more complexities to my lizards, I don't want to have to open up the Flash Pro project, edit the class, recompile the SWC, send it back to Flex, and then test it out. I want to be able to have my Lizard superclass available for editing in Flex - so I made another superclass in Flex: Lizard.mxml
In Flex, each lizard component (like Gecko.mxml) currently extends Lizard.mxml, and each contains an AS component defined in the SWC (Gecko.as in this case). This seems pretty convoluted: An mxml component extending an mxml superclass, containing an AS component which extends an AS superclass. What I'd like to do is define one superclass in the Flex project, have my Flash Pro defined components extend this class (which is the part I believe to impossible), and then have my Flex Components (Gecko.mxml) extend those.
Combo boxes in Flex are really awkward to use if you have objects in them addressed by properties, in my experience. In Flex 3.5 we had a working extension to the combo box that would populate a selectedValue property (and allow changing the selectedIndex by same).
Here's a quick example of what using one of these looks like:
<c:ValueComboBox valueField="country_code">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function get selectedCountry(): String {
[code]...
However, this has stopped working in Flex 4. What's happening is that our existing component drove its changes by overriding the set selectedIndex() function, which is no longer called when the combo box's selected index changes (wtf?).Is there a working value-aware combobox implementation for Flex 4?

So I'm trying to open a second window that is meant to be a fixed size window. I've set resizable property to false but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
here's my sample code
Main app

<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

When I run this code, my expectation is that TestWindow should not be resizable. however I can resize it without any problem.
