I use states in a Flex application to switch from normal to fullscreen view. These states are defined in mxml and in a specific tag:
<local:RSVideo
id="video"
width.normal="534"

View 12 RepliesIn Flex 4, how can I change the cursor to a Bitmap image determined at runtime? All the examples I've seen use CursorManager.setCursor to set the cursor to a class specified at compile time.
What I want to do is change the cursor to a bitmap whose bitmapData is determined by the context.
I have a MovieClip Button, btn, made up of 2 MovieClips, sqrT and sqrB on top. sqrB is stopped at an empty frame. On Down, sqrB stops at a MovieClip frame, on Up, it goes back to the empty frame. On Click, it traces "Clicked!", but Click never fires. Why is this, and is there a way to make it work without using alpha?
Code:
btn.sqrT.gotoAndStop("square");
btn.sqrB.gotoAndStop("blank");
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown);

I'm building an Xml-driven application. I create new states in a separate actionscript-class.These states all contain a DataGrid. I can switch the states in the Main.mxml.
But now I would like to access certain children of the DataGrid. In this case I would like to toggle the visibility of GridItems, from a Button in the Main.mxml.
How do I have access and apply this to the already created states ? I tried to create RemoveChilds and override/push it to the state.All I archieved was to remove an entire GridRow at the very last state, but it should be just one GridItem at every state.
I have a flex3 web application that displays some data from the server on the same page by using the states class.
The MXML code part is this:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="Chart">

<s:Button id="btnNext" label="Next" width="80"
click.Title="changeState('Info');"
click.Info="changeState('Organ');"

How do I dynamically change the "click.Title" event in actionScript?

I am working with Flash Builder 4.5 using Adobe Air, Flex and Actionscript 3, to develop a mobile application that works with multiple views. I want to change the height of my actionbar on all my views. I know that I can dynamically change it in actionscript 3 using:
navigator.actionBar.height = newHeight;
However, I would prefer to have the height in my style (.css) file, or if that's not possible, in the mxml code in every view, so that the actual height is reflected in the design-view. How can I accomplish this?
I have a button in my application and I want it to respond a bit in a special way. Initially the label color of the button is White, I want the color of the text to change to 50% white on the Over State and to 25% on the Down state. Is this possible?
I tried an alternative way using css which does not do the percentage stuff but only changes the color (see css code below), but this does not seem to work. I more specifically want the color to change in terms of percentage like I mentioned above.
Note that I am using the Skin file only to loads images for each state on the button.
s|Button#specialButton {
downSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_focus");
overSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_hover");

Is it possible to change the value of a dynamic text box inside a button's up/over states? For example, I have a button in my library which has a dynamic text field in both the up and over states. My AS loads XML data and adds the correct number of buttons while filling in the text boxes from the XML data. It seems like this should be possible, but so far I haven't made any progress.

View 5 RepliesFor example. I have a particle system with a set number of particles active on the screen at any time "numOfParticles". I am trying to be able to change "numOfParticles" to define itself based on whatever number you input in the input_txt field. So far I am able to display the number of particles into the input text box:
Code:
input_txt.text = numOfParticles.toString();
Now I want to be able to change that value based on user preference.
So far I have:
Code:
function changeNumber(event:Event):void{
numOfParticles = input_txt;
}
change_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeNumber);
But it's not working. I don't think I have the proper identifiers, because I know I'm supposed to attribute the input text field as a ":Number" somehow...
I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .
I have used states in my application.The thing is I have made the first item in my list to be selected. so I gave like this,
if(itemIndex == 0)
this.currentState="selected";
this works fine.The problem is when other item is selected the first item does not change its state,it remains in the selected state until its clicked.My code looks like this,
<s:BorderContainer id="outerCont" width="275" height="100" borderVisible="false"
backgroundColor.normal="#3D3C3C" backgroundAlpha.selected="0.1"
backgroundColor.selected="{data.color}">
My states are like this,
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="hovered" />[code]........
I try to load an swf in my flex 4 project using the following line of code: <mx:SWFLoader id="game_swf" source="demo.swf" complete="init()" /> the demo.swf file is another project i created using flex 4. the problem is that when i run the application i see only the loading bar of the demo.swf flash file and nothing else. if i try to load a different swf file (for a example a game i downloaded), it loads just fine.

The first time I change from state A to B it doesn't play the transition. After the first transition, the same state change does play the transition.
Before I let state B load, it parses an xml file and maps it to objects. When this is done, the state changes. Maybe it has to do with the parsing of the xml. But I can confirm that parsing is done, before it changes the state.[code]...
I would like to know what is the more practical way to embed many images using actionscript. Firstly, I don't want to download an image every time from the server, and then I would like to change the number of images and/or their names. What do you propose for these requirements? I have been alerted for the Embed tag but it seems a little inconvenient in its use as you have to declare a new class for each asset and instantiate the class separately.
View 2 RepliesI have an XML object in Flex4 that is populating a tree (amongst other things).

The tags are all predefnied by me so I will know what they are, but I need to be able to know if the item a user has selected is "Object" and do something, or if they select "Action" do something else.
