I set my list to allow multiple selection. But when I load data in my list, I want to set a few items as selected. Normally you can set only one item selected by using list.selectedIndex. It only accepts int. How can I set multiple items as selected?
View 2 RepliesTo select all the items in myList I wrote:
myList.selectedItems = ['red','cyan','magenta'] ;
But what if I don't know about the items in the mx:list in advance? How can I select all the items in a list without specifying their names?
I am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'. I assumed this was the object containing all of my list items but the only members of this MC I can see (when tracing them out) are 'setRGB' and 'searchKey'.
View 1 RepliesWhy I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?
Theres any workaround for this? I have a listener for keyboard event that checks if keyCode is equal to 40 if it is then I use 'stage.focus = list', but I have to press 2 times key arrow down to start navigating through list items.
I currently have a list that I'm using to hold text so when an item in the list is selected the text is displayed in a text box along side it. I want to have the first item in the list to be pre-selected so the text for that item is already in the textbox when it is loaded.

View 1 RepliesI have a list component on the stage of CS4 called ans1Sec2 (this is for a test) I am able to load the list dynamically and when the user clicks on one of the list items it highlights. What I need is the ability to save that item they selected so when they go back to that question (review mode) the answer they selected is highlighted. I am able to get the evt.target.selectedItem.data and save that into a var, but how do I get that item and make it selected on the list component when they are in review mode?

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to repopulate a list when you select a new category from a drop down component.
So far i can populate the category drop down and i can also populate the list box from a default dir but i can't seem to get the list to change when you select a new category.
this is the category script that populates the drop down (this is working fine except that when i change the category i want the list box (bgList) to repopulate with the new location files):
ActionScript Code:
loadCat ="textures";
if (_url.indexOf("http") != 0) catFilepath = "xxxxxxx/backgrounds/";
else catFilepath = "xxxxx/backgrounds/";

I'm developing a Flash interface that needs to pass a multi-select list to PHP from AS3. I have a similar interface programmed in HTML and JavaScript, and due to the quirks of PHP I use a series of like-named hidden fields to store the data. The fields are named, for example, "my_ option_text[]". The use of the square brackets in the name somehow identifies to PHP that this is an array and it treats it as such. I've had no problem using this method to send data to my PHP processing page and have been able to save it correctly. Now I'm trying to use the same PHP save page to process the data from Flash. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to configure my URLVariables class properties to appropriately pass an array that will be identified as such by PHP. I've tried simply assigning an array to an appropriately named property of the URLVariables class, but the PHP only recognizes one item, not all items. I've tried using the same naming convention as that I use in HTML/JavaScript, but the square brackets aren't appreciated by AS3.
I can't believe that I'm the first person to encounter this issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this I'd appreciate it. I did try searching these forums but only found one case discussing PHP arrays, and that was sending data into Flash, not from Flash to PHP.
Below is a function set that's used to get info from an XML source(s) and populate a List Component (videoList). Works great. The second function loads data from a separate XML source and populates the SAME List Component. When the second function is called it loads the data in addition to the existing data into the List Component. I want it to REPLACE the data. How would I accomplish this?
public function getXMLdata(event:Event):void {
var campXML:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var vid:XML;
for each(vid in campXML.vid) {

I created an isntant of a list component on stage called "myList" and added 8 items to it.I need to align the labels in this list to the right or center.It's on the main time line and not in a seperate as file (if it matters...).I tried using setStyle but it failed (not the solution or I used it wrong).
View 3 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 troubles getting selectedItems from a List Component in Flash CS4. Each time I select multiple selections the object that selectedItems returns seems to be populated with the last selected item in each of its instances. What is strange from the example I provide below is that once you've made your selection and click the label you can update another list with the correct selected values. But the output values are still traced incorrectly.
Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.List;
import fl.controls.Button;
var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
dp.addItem({label:"Item 1"});

I need to be able to disable/grayout SOME items in a list component.
View 1 RepliesThis question specifically deals with AS3 and list components and styling a selected item, if that's even possible. I've got an XML/Flash Video player that lists the videos with a thumbnail and description in a list component. I got the source files from an Adobe tutorial:[URL]...I'm able to style everything the way I want it. The problem comes when I try to attribute a specific text style to a selected item. I understand how the information is being taken from the XML and looped into the list component. What I don't get is how you reference a particular item in the list and whether or not you can attribute a different style to that item when the event listener fires.

I'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?
how to populate a list box component located within a seperate mc in my swf with an array... the array comes from a response from a webservice call. I am not currently on the computer with my source code available so lets just use the following....

mylist = the actual list component

I have some text form fields that I've set up to display some paired variables stored in a .txt file. When the swf loads, the form fields are populated with the text.I've also set it up so that if you change the text and hit a submit button, the .txt file gets updatedI'm now tryng to set it up so that I can store radio button selections in the .txt file too.I've started doing it a certain way, but am wondering if there is a more straightforward way of doing I've set up the butttons to spit out "on" or "off" depending on the selection, and apply that to the variable that gets stored.the text form fields when the swf is refreshed, I want to load the on/off variable, and then somehow apply it to the radio buttons so that one of them is pre-selected.
