Does anyone know if there is a way to determine when all the parts of a SkinnableComponent object have been added? The context of this problem is the following:I have a custom skinnable component class which needs to update some of its parts (e.g. change some labels) once it has been created, meaning once all the skin parts have been instantiated and added.

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip in frame 1 doing an animation. I would like to use a listener to determine when the movie clip is finished then move to the next frame.
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of movieclips called firstNameBtn_mc, lastNameBtn_mc and many others. I also have a bunch of movieclips whose names start with the same but instead of "Btn" they have "Arrow", like firstNameArrow_mc, lastNameArrow_mc etc.
What I want is when I click on firstNameBtn_mc it does somthing to firstNameArrow_mc, but there are so many buttons I would like to do it in the following way.
1. get the movie clip's name...something with e.currentTarget.name for example
2. remove the Btn_mc part
3. add the Arrow_mc part
4. do something to the movieclip of that name

As a part of trying to tackle a memory leak in our application, we discovered that for every SkinnableComponent, the skinDestructionPolicy is set to "never" by default.This means that when using static skin parts, the skin is forever detained in memory.Furthermore, the override of a partRemoved() in the host component will never be triggered.Hence, event listeners we add in the partAdded() override are not removed, which effectively causes views and skins to be kept in memory.When doing a lot of view switches this is just not acceptable.[code]However, using the mx::internal way to circumvent this behavior seems rather odd to me.Documentation about this is scarce as well, so any ideas will be very welcome.
View 1 RepliesI'm (slowly) learning Flex 4 and working on skinning a custom component that extends SkinnableComponent. The component is all in ActionScript and essentially looks like this:
[Code]...
The issue I'm having is on NULL REFERENCES in the Constructor for the various SkinParts, because they're not created yet. I'm trying to find out when is the best time to access them to assign their .text values. I know I can override partAdded() and add the .text value as each part is added, but I'd rather just listen for some magic event that is dispatched when they're all available.I'm not sure whether or not it matters, but the accountName, accountNumber variables are assigned by using a repeater with a dataProvider on the host component. I'm not sure if that too has something to do with when the data is available to the AccountSummary component - which may also needed to be waited on. I was able to successfully use FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE to assign all my .text values to the SkinParts, but is that the right event/best practice?
Flex 4 separates the visual components into the skins. So how do we access those visual elements from Skinnable component? Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SkinnableComponent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" skinClass="skins.brushedSkin"

my friend make me doing a map (in ActionScript). After the click on the some place in the map starts the redirect, e.g.
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.yahoo.com/"_blank);
}
I'm not a flash developer, but I would be to want add the every part of the map a identificator, e.g. id="part1"
PS: I have now the map, where every part have some ID. After the click on that ID I call jQuery event 'click' -- and this I need also in the new flash map.. Is it?
Is it possible to make something like the "Bone tool" does in older Flash CS3?I mean make all limbs for a character and connect them together in the joints, so if I drag the hand, the rest of the arm follows in a natural way. So I can easly make motion tween animations.

View 1 RepliesI have created a flash file and the company I have created it for now wants the fla.so they can make changes to certain parts of the action script. There are some elements that I want to protect as it took me months to develop. Can anybody give me a solution of how I can send them the FLA but at the same time protect the most important parts of my code? I was thinking that I could maybe create an external .as file for the bits of code that they want to change and like my fla to those parts.
View 3 RepliesWell, I've been using flash a while, but I just ran into a newbie problem.. I must have hit some sort of hotkey, but I can't figure out how to undo it or anything in the preferences. Anyways, I'm running Flash CS4 and normally when you draw a shape and select that shape it selects the fill and it looks like little dots all over the shape when its selected. Now when I click on a shape it has a border around it and I can't just select a piece of the shape. Also, what's bothering me is that when you draw two shapes on top of each other, Flash used to merge those shapes automatically, but now they are staying separate unless I manually Union them. It still says they're drawing objects, its not converting them to symbols or anything, but they are kind of acting like symbols in the way I can interact with them. How can I turn this setting off?
View 2 RepliesI saw a website where a video was breaking up in 2 parts.Is there an easy way to do that

View 3 Repliesusually it can be solved with the "wmode transparent" param, but in firefox i have a strange problem. when i overlay a flash element with a part of a div the div renders strange (like stairs at the border of the flash element)

the grey area (and a small transparent area above) is the flash element. the outline is the div with a border.
the error occurs only on FF (i have 3.6) chrome/safari works fine...

I'm trying to split an image (in a MC on the stage) into a variable number of parts.
It's not working properly, and I'm pretty sure it's because I'm re-using the bitmapdata and bitmap I create before the loop...
The MC I'm splitting is called 'back'.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
[Code]....
I was wondering if its possible to split MovieClip in x parts, and each one of them to be scalable, which means Bitmap is not the answer...?Possible? Impossible?

i created a flash menu that calls its items from an xml document. the menu items are images that scroll within the menu movie clip depending on mouse position. my problem is that, when clicked, each of these menu items needs to call a pretty complex function.
so this seems like a really basic question, but, is there a tag or something i can use in the xml file to like, name each of the items so that i can write functions with them individually with my actionscript in flash?
I'm in need, again, of some assistance.
