has anyone made a Custom Skin for a TileList component in Flash CS5. I want to change the scrollbar of the TileList, i want the track bar as just a thin white line and the thumb a orange circle, this for a Touch Interface.
View 1 Repliesi've a tilelist component on my screen which has many entries (more than 10).it displays only 3 items. i've created two buttons for scrolling. right button and left button.if right button is clicked, tilelist component will scroll to next 3 items.likewise if left button is clicked, tilelist component will scroll to previous 3 items.i know it can be done with tileList.scrollToIndex() command.but the problem is, it directly switches to specified number while i want to scroll (tween)..
View 1 RepliesI have Flash AS3 Project with tile list. I have buttons on stage. each of them when clicked adds tile with a picture on it to the tileList using the addTile() function. I'm using 2 columns in the tile list and I want the new tiles will appear from right to left (1st item - right column, 2nd item - left column..). additionally, is it possible that each new item will be added to the top of the tileList instead of the bottom of it?
View 1 RepliesI have a tileList component and i was wondering how one might go about antialiasing the font inside of each label. I have the font embedded using:
leftList.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
I have tried targeting the label specifically with no luck so far.did not work.
var theTextField:TextField = leftList.label;
leftList.antiAliasType = "advanced";
I'm trying to create a listing of thumbnails using the TileList component, and so far it's working great. Is there a way to change the appearance of a single ImageCell within the component.I'm bringing in the thumbnail data as XML, and I have an attribute for whether it's a "new" image or not. I would like it to display a small badge over the individual thumbnail in my application.
I should note that I made a subclass of the ImageCell class (implementing ICellRenderer) to set my custom skins, but when I tried adding conditional code here (checking for the "new" parameter I set, It simply doesn't work (no error messages).
I'm working with the TileList component in an application, and loading in an MC from the library to display multiple times across some columns and rows.How do I make an event function for the MC in the TileList, so that when a user clicks it, it will trigger a custom function? I do not see that the TileList has something like this inherently for it's source item.I made an external class for the MC being used in the TileList, but my standard "addEventListener"s are not working.[code]}

View 1 RepliesI have prepared a simple test case for a PopUpButton opening a TileList with black and red entries and it mostly works, but has 2 annoyances. I've searched a lot, tried several variants (added [Bindable] members in my renderer; added color member to the bids array; created my public override set data() method; ...) and has been getting some answers too, but they are way too general.
1) Scrolling "tl2" right-left doesn't work well: the entries are displayed in a mix of red and black. I know the TileList reuses itemRenderer, but how do I fix the problem?
2) In debug-mode I get numerous warnings: warning: unable to bind to property 'label' on class 'Object' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)

I'm building a thumbnail viewer in Flash CS5 using the TileList component. I know that you can adjust the alpha of the label background, but is there any way to simply move it so it appears below the thumbnail? I already created a new class which extends the ImageCell class, but I can't seem to find any methods to control the positioning of the label.
View 1 RepliesI'm seeing everyone using the TileList in flex but can you create a smooth scrolling effect in AS3 swf?

I have a mysql database with a table containing PATH's to images.
I want to load al the images to a TileList. Now i have this in PHP:
<?PHP
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root");
mysql_select_db("prototipo");
[Code]....
This is supposed to fetch me the PATH of the image, the name so it goes on the label of the tile that displays the image, and brings me also the id so i can launch another query when that image is clicked on.
All this is set into a dynamically created XML.
What to do o AS3?? I already have the AS3 for the tilelist, i only need to load this dynamically created XML from PHP to it.
I have a TileList, that i loaded with a PHP script that gives back an dinamically generated xml so i can load the TileList with the images and labels it needs. Now, i want to click on an item of the TileList an retrieve its Label so i can send it to another PHP script that uses the string of the Label to do a search query so i can load latitud and longitude to a map to where that item is located. i have been trying to trace it, but its a no go.

I have a TileList that loads its images from an XML, not all the images are the same size so they do not llook consistent wiyh the TileList.So i want the TileList to Scale the images it gets from the XML.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a Flash game (which is basically a version of the same game), and I've used a tileList for the board populated with movieClip pieces. I would like the pieces to respond to mouseOver, mouseOut, and mouseClick events. From looking at other question/answers, I get the idea I'll need a custom imageCell. Is that the way to go. I was hoping I could get the responses I want by putting the actions into the movieClips themselves as below, but that doesn't seem to work.

I have a TileList of image thumbnails that pulls its image location and caption info from a remote XML file. when you click on a thumb it displays a larger image and changes when you click another image. it works perfectly inside Flash, but when i publish the images, xml, and swf, everything works except the thumbs do not display, and clicking an empty cell doesn't bring up the larger image. i first thought that maybe my xml file was in the wrong place, but since i am still getting 12 empty cells (12 images listed in the xml), i'm questioning whether its my xml code or my as3 code. getting no errors from flash because the entire swf functions as intended locally.
my xml file and images folder reside in the same folder as the swf on my website.
my xml code and as3 code are below:
BEGIN XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<photos>
<image caption="Steve" url="images/web/DSC01921.jpg" thumburl="images/thumb/DSC01921.jpg"/>

I have a tilelist component using a custom ImageCell based item renderer. I know that at times some of the images it is trying to retrieve will not be found and I am able to handle this via an IEOrror listener on the custom ImageCell loader.However, if I set the data provider, then it is changed before all images have completed their loading or error process, the flash debug player throws up an unhandled #2044 error in firefox stating that an image could not be found. In opera with the debug player it throws a #2044 stating that a load never completed.I can't find a way to trap and ignore these errors so they don't throw the debugger player dialogue up. Also, when using the Flash Builder IDE to debug, the debugger doesn't break on these errors at all - it's only in the player while I'm able to break on other errors without problem.It is as if the error listener is being disposed of when the dataprovider changes, but the loader continues and throws an unhandled #2044.

Now I've tried several of Adobe's own examples from this page, http:/[url]....., and they all throw this error as well.The error is triggered by the TileList instance being the argument of the addChild function.Here's my package, which works fine when I change the displayComponent is be a List.

i am trying to create a custom skin for my FLV component in CS5 ..but adobe's fla files have errors when i decompile...I get this error...

I have a custom Flex 4+ component that I am trying to make and have the skin be aware of changes to a custom property. This property will determine the graphic on the button (and some other visual changes) but the data will change constantly as it will be updated by a timer.
I've looked at untold examples and still seem unable to get the syntax correct or discover how things should be separated. I've looked at overriding commitProperties and the PropertyChangeEvent without success. So I have two questions.
1) How can I get a skin to be notified of a bound property when it changes?
2) If the data for a bound property of the component is an object, will binding work properly if a property of the object changes (or would it be better to pass each property separately)?

I'm trying to load a bunch of symbols with UILoaders into a TileList. The code executes without error but the image that I was loading into the UILoader doesn't show up. I'm looping through an array and creating a new object (the one with the UILoader), setting the UILoader source and then adding it to the TileList.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a lightweight alternative to the TileList component. I'm currently designing and developing an MPU Ad Creative that references an XML doc and pulls in four FLVs and their appropriate meta data. These videos will then be playable in the merch window, and there will be some opt-in data capture going on as well.
I've got a prototype going at the moment that grabs the XML and populates a TileList, and then uses ListEvent Listeners to add functionality to each of the ImageCells. All working fine, except that the file size is already at 47k without any of the data capture form fields in there. This is already over the TZ polite-load limit, and I've only added maybe 60% of the functionality. When I remove the TileList class, the swf shrinks down to 3k (a much nicer size ), and even after adding the remaining 40% I can't see this going much above 15k.
So, anyone know of anything I could use to replace TileList? I thought about creating my own class that holds all the information for each Video I need, but I thought I should check first to see if there are any other alternatives.
I have a TileList witch all my movieclips from library, i wold like to click in item and this item appear on my stage.

How do you set the default value of skinClass for a custom component in Flex? I've extended the DropDownList with my custom component, but I would like to specify a default skin to go with it instead of always setting the skinClass value for each instance.
