I have a DataGrid with a custom itemRenderer(Canvas) which has a context menu on its right click. I am trying to get the data of the itemRenderer. I tried to find something in event & variables. I also tried with FlexNativeMenu on RIGHT_MOUSE_CLICK. But I didn't find any way out.
View 2 RepliesUsing CSS, how would I reference the Button component? FWIW, I'm using Flex 3.x SDK.

<mx:Button label="Test"/>
</mx:HBox>
Just compiled it with amxmlc and it gave me errors over the presence of "customItems" - nothing else at all in the entire 1500+ line AS3/flex program. I took out the customItems reference and it compiles with amxmlc just fine. Nothing about that feature 'customItems' is indicated to be anything other than active and current in the documentation. All amxmlc actually does is add a command line argument for AIR to the standard mxmlc.
View 1 RepliesI'm pretty sure my code is OK as the Context Menu shows nicely when I compile for web, but when I compile for AIR nothing shows up.

The problem is that the context menu does not change when I add items to it.
how to add a custom right click menu to a List box in flex (without using external JS, just using ContextMenu as Adobe intended.

I want to add a context menu with a datagrid which is in a title window, after adding it nothing happens.
[Code]...
I am calling init function on creationComplete event of title window.
I am using a ContextMenu for an AdvancedDataGrid in my application. I could implement the normal context menu for the grid. Now, I am planning to make the context menu dynamic.For example, if I click on a particular cell, I need to see only the items related to that cell in the Context Menu. Is there any way we can do that?
View 3 RepliesI have a Flex Library Project which has both Flex specific classes, and Air specific classes.When I reference the library in an Air project, the compiler complains about an overriding contextMenu in mx.containers.Panel, saying that the param should be of type NativeMenu (instead of ContextMenu). If I switch it over to NativeMenu then it compiles fine.
The issue is when I reference the library in a Flex Project. This time it complains that it doesn't know the type NativeMenu. If I try to change it back to ContextMenu, then I get the same error as above.I've searched google to no avail (found that someone else encountered the exact same problem: http:url.... )
I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?

I have a component in my library that I want to programmatically place on the stage and manipulate from my external actionscript file. I have a blank FLA and all the movieclips, text, etc that are on the stage have being created in an external ActionScript file and placed on the stage. However I would like to access this one component that is stored in my library without having to place it on the stage - since everything is to be done in ActionScript.

question about file reference: i have a file reference that can browse for media files (*.flv, *.f4v, *.wmv, *.wma, *.mov) i am trying to load the file Reference in to a video component. i do that by:
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play(null);
myByteArray = fr.data;
ns.appendBytes(myByteArray)
flv files are OK and i can see them and hear them & controll them. but when im trying to load any other kind of movie type, the all thing fails.
I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?
I have two components. One is called "InsideComp" and one is called "OutsideComp". OutsideComp has InsideComp as one piece of its component, and in my main MXML file, I have embedded an instance of OutsideComp. How do I access a public variable of InsideComp within my main MXML file?In Actionscript, I could just do something like:OutsideComp.InsideComp.valToChange = 5; But I dont know how to do it in MXML. I know this is probably an easy question.

How to include contextMenu for whole swf?
View 4 RepliesIf I open an empty FLA and put in this code:
Code:
var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
this.contextMenu = cm;
Then it works and the context menu for the empty flash file has no built in items. But if I take a project that I already have, and in the class that gets compiled's constructor I put that exact same code, it compiles fine and everything but the context menu still has all of the default items no matter where I click.
So in AS2 you could add a contextMenu for the whole movie like this:
[Code]....
I have also tried just adding items to stage.contextMenu but that didn't work either. I also added a custom context menu to my Document class but that doesn't work for the whole movie. So does anyone know if there is something I can do to set the contextMenu for the whole movie?
Using contextMenu, i removed all BuiltInItems. Its working fine in IE.when i am viewing the same html file in mozilla, "Show Redraw Regions" option is still visible when i am right clicking on browser. In IE, its fine.
View 1 RepliesHow will I know the right click menu is currently open? Like a contextmenu.active = true property but that doesn't exist. An alternative would be a way to check if the user just right clicked but the right click event listener is for Adobe Air only as far as I know.
View 2 RepliesI just noticed that using the context menu will take away focus fronm the application.
Here is simple example: one part is similar to the example for flash.ui.ContextMenu, the other one just performs some action on keyboard events (the keys could as well be used to move the square around)

in a flash application i have to build i would like to find out what the target of the context menu is, which gets displayed when i ctrl-click.the reason for that: i created a custom context menu, which only displays over a certain area of the Sprite it belongs to. so there seems to be something "blocking the way".
