Actionscript 3 :: Find Height Of Dynamic Flex Component Used As A Popup?
Jul 8, 2011
I've created a custom component with several inline item renderers that I use as a tooltip. The height of the component is unknown, as the data contents of the component are not known until runtime.
However, when displaying the tooltip, occasionally it extends beyond the boundaries of the flash application, thus, I'd like to be able to detect this occurrence and reposition the tip.
The problem is that the height and width of the component are, apparently, not available until after being rendered by the popup manager. (i.e. they are always 0)But, I do not know any way of finding out when the popup is actually rendered and, therefore, the height/width values available.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find the height of the text within the TextLayout class?
I am making my TextLayout objects like so:
this._textFlow = new TextFlow();
this._paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
this._textFlow.addChild(this._paragraphElement);
[Code].....
All the public properties I'd expect to find the height are undefined such as this._textFlow.lineHeight.

I'm creating a number of text boxs through code. I want to space them out by determining the height (one, two, three, lines of text) and adding 24 pixels space. I highlighted the code in red thats not working the way I want.
Code:
var MytextsA:Array = new Array("12345123451234512345123451234512", "secondElement", "thirdElement", "fourth");
var Args:Array = new Array("First", "second", "thirdt", "fourth4");

I want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?

I am loading an XML file into several textboxes. Each group of textboxes is contained in a movieclip. There is a textbox in each group that varies in height and I want to put each movieclip underneath each other. So I need to get the height of the previous mc in my for loop so I can set the y position of the next mc. I am not quite sure how this is done, but here is my as3:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I'm opening popups (subclass of TitleWindow) in Flex by using
PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, TrainCard)
Is there any way I can get a list of popups that are open? Or do I need to keep my own list?I need to make sure I'm not opening the same popup twice.

With the PopupManager it's possible to add/create/remove a new popup. But i can't find a way to get the top most popup without overriding this class (which something you want to do for a big Flex application).So far I found this solution, which is more kinna of work around. So if any body has a better solution, i will be pretty much happy to read it.
Assuming the you call the addPopup/createPopup with the parameter PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP, example :
PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent,MyPopupClass,true,PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP);

I have the following:
var win:Window = new Window();
PopUpManager.addPopUp(win,this,true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(win);
What about if I want the popup window to be stretched and be 80% width and height from the parent? How do I achieve that?

I'm having sizing issues with a TabNavigator. The direct children of the TabNavigator are Canvases, and within these I am adding Images. I'm trying to resize the images to fit within the Canvas without scrollbars. The Canvas height is set to 100% of the parent, which is the TabNav. Then I'm setting the image.height = parent.height *.9. The result is that Flex is generating scrollbars because the images are too high. It appears that the root cause is that the height property of the TabNavigator is the height of the entire component, including the height of the tabs. I'm assuming therefore it also contains that little strip of space between the tabs and the children of the TabNavigator. This makes sense, but is there a property that returns only the height of the children? I'm aware of the scrollbar policy properties and I've experimented with those. I know I can also try a different multiplier for the image size to get it to fit. It just seems like there should be a property to get the size of the space for the children.

I have a component that extends UIComponent of Flex, I want to add it a FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE listener but it does not works. that means I can not capture the event. But when I use PopUpManager to add this component, and then add a FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE listener, it works fine. Is FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE only works for pop-up components?

If you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?

When a container component is declared without setting an specific height value, the contaniner's height will be automatically set to a value which makes possible to display all of its content/children without scrolling (when possible). After the component is initialized with the proper height, I explicitly change the height value of the container.
My question is, after I change the component's height, is it possible to switch back to the original height that was automatically set based on the containers contents? I'm looking for some way to unset the explicit value of the component's height.

How can you find out if a Flex Component (in my case the tree) is scrollable? I tried it like this
if (_listOwner.height < _listOwner.measuredHeight) {
// so stuff
}
from within the tree's item renderer but didn't succeed. Access to the tree's scrollbar is private so that I can't get the info that way.

I'm playing around with code like this:
<s:Button id="test" label="test" transformX="{Math.floor(test.width/2)}" rotationY="20" x="20" y="20" />
The button is rotated on the Y axis and the rotate pivot is in the middle of the button.
This will create a button that looks something like this[code]...
I put together a sample to show off the various approaches for calculating this that people are suggesting. The source code is also available. Nothing is quite working like I'd expect. For example, turn the rotationSlider to 85. The button is effectively invisible, yet all approaches are still giving it height and width.

I have a panel with a custom skin whose height is smaller than its hostcomponent's height. When I layout this out in a vgroup, the component's size doesn't reflect the skin's smaller size.
Is there a way to completely delegate the size of a container to the skin class?

Is it possible (if so how) to find out what word the cursor/mouse is over when it is moving over a < mx:Text > component?So for example as the user moves the mouse along a sentence (inside text component), each word will highlight as they go (I know you can highlight while pressing the mouse button down - but that not how I wish to do it).

Im trying to create a layout in flex using mxml, the layout contains a Canvas component and a Box. The layout should always be such that the Box sits at the bottom edge of the application and has a fixed height, whereas the Canvas fills the remaining stage area and does not overlap with the Box. My MXML is as follows;

Is it possible to dynamically (not in the project's options) change the dimensions of the stage by using ActionScript 3? I'd want to create a 400x300px loader, but I also want it to load animations that have bigger or smaller dimensions. I would then change the width and height of the loader to make the loaded animations fit well. Is there any way to do that?

I need to close the popup(adobe flex), non modal window if I click on the parent page of the popup. I have to do the out of focus check and then do some validation before close the popup. So what I was thinking that is there any inbuilt focus check event or do we need to create custom event for that?

I have a web application which contains a data grid. Double clicking on any row of that grid will open a popup (lets call it popup1). Now this popup1 again opens a new popup(lets call it popup2). When I close the popup2, I need pass an Object to popup1. Which is the easiest way to do that?
(PS: While opening popup2 from popup1, I am adding an event listener on Close event of popup2)
