I have an application whose dimensions are larger than the user's screen resolution. Typically, when adding a popup I would call popupManager. addPopup() followed by popupManager.centerPopup(), but this could cause the popup to be added outside of the user's visible area on screen.Is there a way to add a popup in the middle of the user's current viewable area instead?[code]
View 2 RepliesBeginner Question: I am using the IFrame Component for Flex in Flex 4. The code below works when it is put at the top of the scrolling area. However, if I put it where it below the viewable area it will not render. I am a complete beginner to Flex. The interesting thing is when I resize the window while the HBox is in view, the Iframe will load. But scrolling to it will not. Below is my code. I have made sure everything is visible=true but it seems like I need to add a listener or somehow trick it to think that the window has been resized to get it to render. Anyone with an idea how to fix this?

And theonly area that you can see is through the 100x100 window
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to specify the viewable area of a movie clip?
for example, lets say I have a Movie Clip whos area is 500 x 500
But I want to only be able to view it through a 100x100 "window".
So the size aspect of the movie clip stays the same. And the only area that you can see is through the 100x100 window.
Also, i want the "window" to be stationary, and have the movie clip pan around behind it.
Just a quick one. Using AS3, how would I ensure that a movieClip always stays in the centre of the stage on resize?

Background... the user will be able to change and create their own picture and then they want to save the image they have created.
I need to know how to script the drawing board as in the user can only draw on a specified area. For example, on a 800x600 layout, only 1/4 of it is the drawing board.After the user has drawn the image, when he/she clicks on a button, the image will be replicated on another area in the same 800x600 space. So far, I can only manage to make a drawing board on the whole 800x600 space and erasing.
View 2 RepliesI have a strange issue- I use a title window to create a message to the user. The user has the ability to move the title window around the screen so that the main screen is visible.However if the user were to move the title window way too much, it can actually go outside the browser accessible area- the user has no option but to close the browser and start again. How do we ensure that the title window movement is limited, such that the title bar is always available for control?
I might not have worded this right- pls check the attached image.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make selectable thumbnail images for a touch screen app where the user can touch the thumbnail image and turn a CheckBox on or off to select/deselect it.
The thumbnail images measure 100x100 pixels, and I want the CheckBox to be in the upper right hand corner of each image. When I go to the Adobe AS3 help site, it says that it should be possible to increase the size of the CheckBox hit area in one of two ways:
1) Select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform Tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands.
2) Use the setSize() method or applicable properties of the CheckBox class.
According to this same site, if you increase the size of the instance, you also increase the size of the hit area.
I've tried both of these, and none expand the hit area over the entire thumbnail. In fact, neither seems to increase the size of the hit area at all. In order to select a particular thumbnail, the user still has to hit the CheckBox.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to define the content area of a custom component that extends mx:VBox. The component has predefined headers and footers (visual children) and I want to set the area in the middle for adding children to the component. The component will be used like this:

<mx:button/>
</custom_component>
How would I set this content area?
I am trying to determine the global coordinates of the visible rectangle that is currently rendered on the stage.
Specifically, if a canvas has an explicit height and width and is a child of a panel that has a scrollbar, the scrollbar can "hide" a part of the canvas. ContentToGlobal(x,y) provides the global position of the content at the time, but content coordinates can scroll off the boundaries of the parent panel and continue to give x,y coordinates that are not visible.
Is there a way to determine the viewable rectangle that is not hidden by anything?

View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to add some user controls to a flv for a client. I've added the flv to a swf and added the FLVPlayback component no problem. I've exported the movie, again, no problem.

Here is where the problem comes in: I've uploaded the movie to a live server to embed in an html page so that my client may preview the controls before giving final go ahead for the project. However, once the movie is upload to a a live server, the FLVPlayback component no longer appears in the movie and the flv no longer plays.

I have a DateField component in Flex and I want to stop any user input. If I set the editable to "false" then it stops users changed the bits of the DateField box. It does NOT however stop them from clicking on the calendar icon next to it and updating the date. Is it possible to disable this? I basically want the component to be read only under some circumstances but not for it to have any alpha overlay. Therefore I want to use editable rather than enabled.
View 1 RepliesI have flash component in a website, which shows a preview. There are some UI components overlaid on the preview to allow navigation. Unfortunately it seems that in Safari on Macs, there is a problem:When the user zooms in or out (using the browser based page zoom), my overlaid UI items disappear for some reason. This does not happen on any other platform.I would have though that this zoom function would be something that is taken care of solely by the browser/Flash plugin, however, perhaps there is something I can do to force a 'redraw'?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project where I want to add a click listener to the root DisplayObjectContainer, which, if the user clicks on a UIComponent, will add a red border to whatever the user clicked on. Currently, my code to do so looks something like this:[code]Unfortunately, nothing actually happens. The UI component the user clicks on remains distinctly un-bordered. I've tested event.target and am reasonably sure that it does actually point to the UI Component the user clicked on; I also used Alerts to make sure that the if statement was actually executing fully.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a Flex (Advanced)DataGrid component with some mechanism where the user can toggle the visibility of the columns. I've crudely implemented this by reading in the columns into the right-click menu, and when a column name is selected here, the visibility is toggled. It works, but it's not the most elegant solution.Specifically, I'm trying to emulate the "datagrid" that Mozilla Thunderbird uses to display emails. Here is an image:
In the upper right, there is an icon over the scroll bar. If there is no scrollbar, the icon remains in the same place. When clicking the icon, it opens up a menu that shows all the possible columns, with the visible ones having a check mark next to them, like this:
Also, the scroll bar always appears under this button, never "pushing" it over into it's own column.I'd like to re-create this in Flex. I believe the menu part and creating a column with a button headerRenderer is easy enough. But I can't figure out how (if at all possible) to do this with the scrollbar, because the scrollbar always seems to be "its own column".
