This is being activated via the "active desktop" in display properties.I forgot how to point flash to open local exe files. ie PS or flash or whatever.. is it possible to have a flash made task bar that sits "on top" of everything else? This would really start some creative options for me if it is.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a media player that is supposed to run in the background and thus not obscure any other applications that the user runs.The playe is essentially a lot of AS3 with a minimum of graphics � just enough to set volume and toggle some parameters.uestion:How can I make my graphics so that it can be minimized and only appear on the tastbar?As it is now it can be maximized to cover the full screen and made small so tha it shrivels up down in the left corner of the screen.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way that I can get an AIR app to appear on screen (Always on top), but does not take up a spot on the taskbar? For example, Google desktop takes up part of your screen, but doesn't take up a tab at the bottom.
I'm using custom chrome as well, so how do I find out how much space the taskbar takes up dynamically? This doesn't necessarily have to work on Mac since I'm probably going to be the only one to use it.
I've followed the Adobe instrunctions on how to create an app without windows (link).
The gist is that you can do this by hiding or closing the original nativeWindow and creating a new one with theUTILITY or LIGHTWEIGHT property.
Unfortunately, when an application is launched more than once, the new nativeWindow is created again with each launch. This is highly undesirable.
I've tried setting variables with the launch of the application, but it seems like these are not accessible by the new instances of the application. The weird thing is: AIR apps are not supposed to have multiple intances (should be impossible)! And there actually is only one instance according to the windows task manager and the fact that there is only one systemtray icon.
We get data from multiple feeds and data may or may not exist for a certain date. o, for points that have no data we send NaN.

I am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

View 1 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is hide an entire column if the content is all null.
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" dataProvider="{service}" id="dg1">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Location Origin" dataField="originLocation" visible="{data.originLocationExists}" />
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Location Destination" dataField="destinationLocation" visible="{data.destinationLocationExists}" />
[code]....
In the sample above, sometimes all the data in the "Location Origin" will be null, so under the visible property I put a value which is either true or false depending on the data. But even when all the data is null and the visible property equals false, it still stays visible.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to tell flex to display a chart with no visible axis? I want the contents of the chart to take up all the available space. I can set the visibility on the AxisRenderer to false which will hide the axis but that leaves an empty space where the axis would usually be. How can I remove this empty space?
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:DateTimeAxis id="xAxis" dataUnits="hours" />
</mx:horizontalAxis>

I've tried setting the height on the renderer but that has no effect, and there is no height style on the axis itself.
I am looking to implement a search text box as follows:When user starts typing in and there are non-zero results, the text box will open up and display the results below it. When the user selects a result, the text box closed, but this time with a down-arrow (like a combobox) so that the user can re-open the list.I suspect what I really need is a combobox with ability to hide/show the down arrow. How do I do this in Flex?

View 1 RepliesI have a List of items which is based on the contents of the "category" that a user selects
When the user changes selection, I change the dataProvider of the list be be the contents of the current category.
Sometimes the list contains items, sometimes it does not
Is there a way of hiding the list when it has no items?
I know that I could do this when setting the dataProvider, but it seems like there should be an event or something else that I could be using.

I'm having some issues with the softkeyboard behaviour in flex 4.6 and air 3.1.I have a list with a search bar on top. When a user selects the TextInput component the softkeyboard pops up like it should.Now when the user is done typing his text and presses the return (or the done/ search) key I want the softkeyboard to disappear.I've set the returnKeyLabel property to "done" and the button shows up accordingly. However it only dismisses the keyboard on Android, on IOS the keyboard just stays up.I then tried by not setting the returnKeyLabel and manually catching the Return key and setting the focus to another element that does not require a softkeyboard but that didn't work either.I also tried by dispatching my own "faked" click events when the Return key was pressed but this also didn't work.As part of searching about this problem I found this Dismiss SoftKeyboard in Flex Mobile but that didn't work either. Or at least not in flex 4.6.Now does anyone know of a good way to hide the softkeyboard or make the returnKeyLabel "done" work on IOS that will work with flex 4.6/air 3.1?

wondering if there's any way to make it so that a list I have will not scroll to show the horizontal end of the items. Very few items go long enough to require it and the horizontal scrollbar is distracting.
I don't see any property to control that, though, so not sure how to achieve this.
