Actionscript 3 :: Disable The Tooltips Of The Buttons On A Flex 3 Togglebuttonbar
Jun 30, 2010
I'm creating an flex 3 application with 3 togglebuttonbars. What i would like to do is disable the tooltip of the buttons on one togglebuttonbar. how i can access the buttons on the togglebuttonbar to disable the tooltips?
I don't want to disable all the tooltips off the total application(ToolTipManager.enabled = false;).
I have set the tooltip of the togglebuttonbar to null but it doesn't disable the creation of the buttons within the togglebutttonbar.
how i can disable the tooltips of the buttons on the togglebuttonbar?
I am trying to adapt Ruben Sweringa's Flex-based interactive mindmap [URL] and I've got most of it sussed out. I'm just having a little difficulty with the tooltips and I was hoping someone/some people might be willing to help me out or offer some guidance on these three things:
1) How and where do I set hideDelay to Infinity so the tooltips don't disappear? I think that because Ruben's model uses FXCToolTip and FXCHTMLToolTip to extend ToolTip and ToolTipManager, if I try to modify ToolTipManager.hideDelay in the mxml, the value is ignored.
2) Is there a way to enable HTML formatting in the tool tips? FXCHTMLToolTip looks like it's supposed to read this code, but whenever I add such coding, Flex says "Error: XML is invalid" and the whole mindmap fails.
I'm using the tooltipManager as described [URL]. I want to display a custom tooltip for the buttons of a buttonbar. The buttonbar's declaration is as follow: <mx:ButtonBar id="topToolbar" height="30" dataProvider="{topToolbarProvider}" iconField="icon" itemClick="topToolbarHandler(event)" buttonStyleName="topButtonBarButtonStyle" toolTipField="tooltip"/>
Until here, everything works fine. I do see the proper text displaying in a tooltip. Then, I created a custom tooltip manager using the tutorial quoted previously: public class TooltipsManager { private var _customToolTip:ToolTip; public function TooltipsManager() { } public function showToolTipRight(evt:MouseEvent, text:String):void { var pt:Point = new Point(evt.currentTarget.x, evt.currentTarget.y); [Code] .....
Now, this is where I start having issues... I'm trying to get to use this custom tooltip, but I don't know how to get the buttonbar to take it into account. I created a function to see when could I call the functions in my TooltipsManager: public function showTopToolbarTooltip(e:ToolTipEvent):void{ trace('blabla'); } But it would seem that it's never taken into account. I've put this function in different buttonbar's events: tooltipcreate, tooltipstart, tooltipend but nothing happens. Not a single trace. Where to call the function of my tooltipManager?
I'm trying to prevent a custom tooltip from disappearing. I've tried three runs at this, borrowing from the usual suspects: Peter Dehann, MonkeyPatch and others. As you can see from the code below I'd like to stay within the tool tip paradigm and not go to popups.
way to persist a tooltip? The intent here is to have a component which can be cut and paste from.
ForEVER I've been annoyed with tooltips in Flash. Yeah, I've turned them off in preferences, but that doesn't effect the ones in the ActionScript area. I've gone so far as to globally and specifically set tooltips to a delay of 60 seconds in my Mac terminal, effecting every application in my system, but this f^%king program over rides even that.
I'm trying to change Flex 3 ToggleButtonBar dataprovider on user or admin log in. I'm trying to use 2 viewstack, and I've got a component where the login form is in the component. What should I do to define the dataprovider based on user log in?
I have two things I wish to change with the display elements in flex. The first on relates to and AdvancedDataGridColumn in a AdvancedDataGrid. This is shown in the picture URL with the words "Word Student Teacher ..." These are the headertext of an AdvancedDataGrid. I want to remove the little "1" symbol and disable the abiliy to click on the column and have them sort.
The second is also shown in the picture and it relates to the mx:ToggleButtonBar shown with the text "Pronunciation Pitch Timing Loudness" At present "Pronunciation" is selected, but is is possible to make this clearer? For example have the currently selected tab show in a different color?
I'm developing with Flex 4 and have a problem with tooltips in skins. I want to define the tooltip behavior of a textinput in the skin (or other components). I create a new skin and try to add a tooltip attriute to the <s:sparkskin> directly and to the <s:RichEditableText> but the tooltips don't show up. First: Is it possible to define tooltip in skins? If not, why? Second: If it's possible, why doesn't it works
I have a list of objects containing an icon, a label, and a tooltip. I want to show only the icon and the label. The tooltips should be visible on mouse over an item.
Is there a way i can achieve this without writing my own mouse-over/out functions?
(notice that dataTips are a different thing as they are displayed only when the label is cut)
I have a flex app that used to be an internet based app. In it I have a function that creates tooltip error messages when I tell it to create an error message. I pulled this app out verbatim to a desktop app and restructured things a bit to get it to run, but I did not mess with the core fundamentals of the mxml file that utilizes this aside from changing the root tag from a type of 's:Group' to 's:Window'. Everything runs correctly, but the tooltips are not displaying.
Here's the tooltip code (inline mxml code in the fx:script cdata tag): import mx.controls.ToolTip; import mx.managers.ToolTipManager; public var errorTip:ToolTip; private function createErrorMsg(errorMsg:String, object:Object):void { if (errorTip){ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(errorTip); [Code] .....
Basically, I pass the function a string and an object (text input, checkbox, button, etc...etc...) and it positions it and displays the error message. This fully works in my web version, but not in my desktop version.
Here's the code that instantiates the window: var window:LoginWindow = new LoginWindow(); Window.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE; Window.transparent = true; Window.open(true); Window.maximize()
On a side note, I check to see if the errorTip exists at the beginning of the function and then destroy it so that the higher scoped variable 'errorTip' always equals the reference to the currently displayed error. This allows me to just destroy that error tip on form validation and then error check again, but it only allows one tooltip to be displayed at a time. Is there a better way to query the tooltip manager for all of it's currently displayed tooltips and destroy them all?
I'd like to use tooltips with the same design as the error/validation tooltips (rounded box with a tip pointing to the mouse's position).Given the name "error/validation tooltips", it bothers me to use them as normal tooltips.I haven't found people having the same "principles" issue as myself..So, is it that bad to use the error/validation tooltips as normal tooltips? And, if yes, what would be the easiest way to re-use its design without rewriting much code?
I'm porting a card game from pure Flash/AS3 to Flex 4.5: I'm almost done, but the "speech baloons" marked by the blue color in the screenshot above are missing. Those "speech baloons" fade in, display red (if they contain hearts or diamonds char) or black text and finally fade out. I'm trying to implement those as mx.controls.ToolTips and have prepared a simple test case, where 3 users are represented by smiley-buttons and you can push a "Talk"-button to make them talk:
public class EncounterDGItemRenderer extends Label
I found that my tooltips (datatips) stopped working once I started using this custom renderer. I also found that I can set the tooltip on the label in the
override protected function updateDisplayList
by setting:
toolTip=data['addedDate'];
This works find, however the problem is I need to choose a different data field based on the column. I was hoping for something similar to how a DataGridColumn labelFunction works - where I have access to "column.headerText" or "column.dataField". However I only have access to the underlying data object, not the name of what is being displayed (unless I am missing something).
Is there a way in a data grid item renderer to know what the column header text is, or do you have a different approach?
I have a tooglebuttonbar (with 4 buttons) and I'd like to change the color of only one or two button according particular data.Is someone has experience to do that.I try to do like that
var child:Button; child = Button(tbbAction2.getChildAt(0)); child.setStyle('color', '#CC33CC');
Is there a way to use ActionScript to disable all buttons in a movie at the start of the movie (or at any given time in the movie), and then re-enable them at a certain time? I'm using Flash MX (only version I have access to), and I know how to get to the ActionScript panel and use it for basic things like stopping/playing a movie or jumping to a certain frame, but I haven't figured out much about ActionScript beyond that.
(btw, what version of ActionScript does Flash MX have?
I have designed a website in Flash AS2 and it is nearly complete, but I have one big problem. On my main page, I have a line of scrolling buttons as well as a slide show which also doubles up as a button. All of these buttons link to FLV movies. When clicked, the movie page fades up to cover the entire stage.This is the effect I want and I like the way it looks, but the problem is, all the buttons remain active underneath the FLV as it plays.So if you accidentally click on the movie while its playing, it's still possible to trigger one of these buttons, causing all kinds of undesired chaos!Here is a link to the current swf, so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
The row of scrolling buttons (the circles) and the arrow buttons at the bottom are contained within a single movie.I must point out that I am not well versed in action script. I have picked up bits and pieces as I've gone along but I don't speak the language
During an upload I need to disable all buttons on stage except the one to cancel the upload process. I tried this but "mybutton" keeps on being disabled:
I am creating a spinning globe where I set up two movieclip buttons. One is called "europe1" and another is called "russia1". When you roll over "europe1" button, movieclip "europe_people" starts to play and button "closeEurope" appears. When you click on "closeEurope" button, the movie clip "europe_people" and the button "closeEurope" disappears and the globe begins to spin again. If you roll over "russia1" the same thing happens.
What I want to do at this point is if the user rolled over "europe1", I want to deactivate button "russia1" on the spinning globe until the user closes "europe1" by pressing the "closeEurope" button. When the user presses the "closeEurope" I want "russia1" button on the spinning globe to activate again. [code]...
Movie should not RESTORE(MINIMISE) if ESC is pressedMovie should not Close if ALT + F4 is pressed How should i deactivate or Disable ESC and ALT buttons in flashi have used fscommand on frame enter i could deactivate all other buttonsbut
I have a website, and each section fades in and fades out. The problem is the hidden sections (alpha=0) still have their buttons active...you can click them and I don't use buttons, they are movieclips with actionscript in frame 1...How would you make sure these are disabled?What I tried was to create a variable sectionFlag:Number=1; this would have a different number 1,2,3,4 depending on the current section and then if (sectionFlag==4){ execute code }however, the sob just wouldn't work, it would execute the code anyway!
I have several layers of scrolling BGs via action script. In between these layers are a set of simple buttons made via "button" symbols. Within the stage, the buttons are recognized, however, when I test the movie, the buttons are not recognized/activated by the cursor. My guess is that the scrolling BGs that are on top of everything else (NOT added via "addChild" in a blank movie clip below all other layers) are somehow "blocking" my cursor from reading the simple buttons "below" them.
For the visual aspect of the project, the scrolling BGs are needed both "below" and "above" the buttons, so I need a work-around for simple button use in this multi-level scrolling BG environment. (just to clarify, by "above" and "below" I dont mean vertically above and below, but rather "layered" above and below, so as to "cover" eachother).
A way to disable multiple buttons on different timeline mostly resides movie clipLike when I click a single button, the other buttons will be disabled.As of now what I'm doing is like this...
function disableButtons(){ preview.btn1.enabled = false; preview.btn2.enabled = false;
i call my disable button function that is inside a for loop? it only ever disabled the last button but i want it to disable them all. Below is my code:
