Actionscript :: Keydown Event Reusable Code / Write Once And Use Anywhere In Flex Application
Apr 5, 2011
I am new to flex framework.I have created an application using flex framework 4.1 which is having various components that are shown to the end user in the form of a popup window using <mx:TitleWindow>.This titlewindow is closed either on the click of the close button (displayed in it's titlebar) or by pressing the "escape key" on the keyboard.I coded a functionality wherein I close the current TitleWindow whenever an 'escape' button is pressed.Here is what I did.On the keydown event of TitleWindow I called this function.[code]I had to repeat this code for every TitleWindow that I have used in the project.How can I write the above functionality only once and reuse it amongst various TitleWindow and other components so that the code for the same is not repeated across various components? Every TitleWindow that I am using has different code, scripts and layout in it.

I am trying to detect the key down event for the alt key in flex. I have a standard event listener for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but don't get any response for the alt key (or ctrl key).
I know I can detect if the alt key was pressed via a mouse event, but I want to update the cursor when the alt key is pressed to show it will perform a different action from when it's not pressed.
I am using Safari on a Mac for developing so let me know if perhaps it's an isolated issue.

All i have a flex editable datagrid. By default if i press the left navigation arrow key , it moves to the left but not to the next cell. I would like to override the keydown event such that if the left navigation arrow key is pressed down i set the focus to the next cell on the left.
In short the user needs to be able to navigate using the keyboard through the cells using just like in excel(currently the arrow keys move between characters within a cell).

I'm using a component in a cairngorm PopupWrapper. I want to listen to the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWn event on the component but it doesn't seem to be dispatching it. Is it because it's in PopupWrapper? Is there anyway I can get it to dispatch the event?[code]

I have a function that is called on a keydown event. Inside the function I do this:
function keyDownHandler(event : KeyboardEvent) : void {
if(cursorMoveCnt < 5 && event.keyCode != Keyboard.ENTER) {
trace(i);
trace(cursorMoveCnt);
stage.focus = arrayOfBoxes[i+cursorMoveCnt];
cursorMoveCnt++;
}
I want to call the same function after every 20 seconds even if enter key is not pressed by the User. Can I create the same effect as pressing the Enter key through code in some way so that the code within the if condition inside the function gets executed?

I have a small slideshow loading 3 different images with XML in an animated loader.My problem is that the first round, when the images are not cached in the browser, it starts playing before the images are finished loading.Is there a way to add a sort of preloading code to my code below without having to re-write everything? I tried to add an eventListener COMPLETE to the loading images but somehow it wont work?[code]

My app has a datagrid as well as many other UIComponents (buttons, menus, etc). I have a general stage KeyDown handler as well as a specific one for the datagrid. The behavior I'm trying to implement is turning out to be trickier than I thought: basically, when using the keyboard arrows I would like the datagrid to always hear about such commands, even if it's not in focus.
Possible approaches I thought of:have the DG be in focus at all times: seems stupid / tricky - basically would need to remember to give focus back to DG after any interaction with the rest of the UI, which obviously doesn't scale.try to set the DG in focus from stage KeyDown handler: seems like the timing doesn't work since the DG gets focus too late to "hear" the event.from the stage keydown handler, check if the DG is not in focus, and if so pass it the event. This seems to make sense in theory, but I'm not sure how to do this properly since my stage keyDown handler uses capture, and thus seems to catch the same event over and over.

I am looking for reusable open source components. The level of depth, breadth and hopefully quality that I'm looking for is similar to this. Although I need them in programming languages C#, Java and Flex (which I often use in my projects), other languages such as PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby etc. are welcome. I see this as a big help for other programmers who have similar needs such as mine.
I plan to eliminate code duplication when building a large scale (in terms of code size) project by using this components and focus more on the business logic of it. Is there an open source (Java) or Codeplex (Microsoft) component implementation that does this that I'm not aware of?The main point that I want to address for this question is to avoid interdeveloper duplication. Interesting case found in Pragmatic Programmer: An audit for government computer systems have been made showed 10,000 different programs having their own version for Social Security number validation.

Is there a way how modules can listen to parent application event? My current solution that works is:
private function directoryRemoteObject_saveCompany_resultHandler(e:ResultEvent):void
{
this.directoryModuleLoader.child.dispatchEvent(new CompanyEvent(CompanyEvent.COMPANY_SAVED, e.result as int));
}
this means that I need to dispatch event for every module.

I have a TextArea that I don't ever want to be scrolled. When scrolling within the application that holds this TextArea, however, the scrolling stops as soon as the mouse ends up over the TextArea.
Is there any way to pass the scroll event to the application, or tell the TextArea to not claim the event?

In my flex application I have several pop ups, when a pop up is opened the application is disabled and enabled back when the pop up is closed.Is there way to get application's enabled / disabled event and perform some activity like hiding a display object.I know, I can get open and close event of the pop up but I don't want to write it for all the pop ups and pay for maintainability.
PS: I am using PopUpManager to create pop ups.
