Centering Datagrid Text And Headers?
Jun 25, 2009
I've be messing around with Flash for a little while now and just recently starting trying to do a datagrid which is loaded from an XML file. Well I've gotten the XML to populate the datagrid. Everything is fine in that aspect but I cant seem to get my text to align properly in the datagrid. By default ofcourse everything is aligned Left. I would like align everything centered (the cells as well as the column Header.The code that I have basically creates the datagrid at runtime,
Note: I had found two other threads from a couple of years ago that said use the line below, but I've tried that line of code to no avail:
Code:
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(2).textAlign = "center";
HERE IS MY CODE:
Code:
import fl.controls.DataGrid;[code]....

I am trying to extend the DataGrid to allow headers for different groups of rows. However, I cannot figure out which method to extend from DataGrid that would allow me to accomplish this. I do not want the headers to be included in the dataProvider, only the rows. I want to specify indexes to insert the headers at using a property of the custom datagrid.
Here is a quick photoshop showing what I am trying to do:
Is there any custom component already built that will do this?

I have been trying to customize the datagrid component. So far I have been able to customize the cells using a custom cellRenderer. I would like to change the way the header looks by using a custom headerRenderer as well but from all the ones that I have tried to make don't work.[code]to try and set the headerRenderer class that I created to the datagrid name dgPL. But it doesn't work. From what I have found on the internet the headerRenderer class is suppose to act just like the cellRenderer class in design and implementation. I can't find any examples of people using a custom headerRenderer class or examples on how to make one.I have gone wrong in designing my class or implementing it into my program would be appreciated.Also I am trying to figure out how to add a Marquee to the cells of the same datagrid so that if the content in the cell is too long for the size of the cell it will scroll across the cell when the user rolls over the datagids list of content. The part I am having trouble with is figuring out how to get the new string assigned to the cell without permanently overriding the dataprovider's content for that specific row in the datagrid.
From my looking on the internet I have found a way to create a marquee for textFields. What I can't figure out is how to apply it to the datagrid itself.[code]Right now the marquee works by creating a textField and doing the marquee that way but that isn't the most effective way of doing it at all due to allignment issues when scrolling the content in the datagrid.I know how the Marquee works I just don't see how to apply this marquee to the datagrid cells itself. I know how to grab the content of my cell's with no issues at all and how to redefine it for the marquee to work I just am not sure how to assign it back to the cell itself without overriding the dataprovider permanently.

I almost got it, but the part that's giving me trouble is making the header background transparent. I am making a custom MXML skin based on the default Spark DataGrid skin. I tried setting the contentBackgroundAlpha to 0 on the columnHeaderGroup and the headerRenderer, but that didn't work. I tried setting visible to false for either of those, but that made it so that the text didn't show up either, so that didn't work. There is no setting for backgroundAlpha in either of those two, so I'm not sure what else to try.

I am trying to find an easy and robust way to override the default layout of DataGrid and populate its values in a left-right fashion. To illustrate:My data model is an array of: {a: xxx1..n, b: yyy1..n, c: zzz1..n}The default DataGrid component will lay this out as:
a b c
xxx1 yyy1 zzz1
xxx2 yyy2 zzz2
xxxn yyyn zzzn
etc.
With "a", "b", and "c" as the headers, and x, y, z being their values for each object in the dataProvider.Now I want to lay this out horizontally like so:
a xxx1 xxx2 xxxn
b yyy1 yyy2 yyyn
c zzz1 zzz2 zzzn
I've searched around for an answer but haven't hit on anything. Perhaps I'm just using the wrong keyword searches...Regardless, if anyone knows a solution to this, be it as mundane as a property setting I've somehow missed, or a 3rd party component, etc.
ps: Eventually, this must be entirely tab-enabled and cell-editable. If you have an esoteric solution involving a multi-field itemRenderer, please keep this in mind. I mention this because I have attempted such a solution and have failed to penetrate DataGrid's Unfailing Field of Tab Vitiation (ie DataGrid seems to override tab functionality inside its itemRenderer, forcibly setting focus to the next renderer/editor).

I have a dynamic text field that is pulling random quotes from a text field. They are populating over a graphic of a customized playing card. Everything works fine, and the text horizontally centers fine.... but it vertically centers to the top of the text box I have drawn.Is there a way to make the textvertically align in the center? I am just learningactionscript... or re-learing it rather.Here is the code I am using for the random text:
Code:
ranQuote = new LoadVars();
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {

I have an AS3 project I'm working on. All the text is coming in dynamically via XML file.I'm also using an external CSS to control the look of the text. Everything seems to be coming in fine. I can dynamically create a new TextField and put my text into it. The problem is that I want it centered on the stage and I've been trying with NO success.If I set the width of the TextField to be the width of the stage, that works, but I cannot get the text to center in it if multiline is true
Code:
var serverNameTxt:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(serverNameTxt);

I'm trying to center the title text on my Alert control. I'm using the following CSS right now:
mx|Alert{
text-align: center;
}
The problem is that the above code centers my alert content as well, not just the title text. What selector do I need to access just the title of the alert control? I'm using the 4.x SDK and Spark.

Does the TextField class support automatic vertical centering of multiline text? Any way to control vertical alignment other than "flush top"?
It seems like it ought to, but if there is a method or property in the class that turns it on, I can't find it. (Maybe a case of not being able to see the trees for the forest, there's so much junk in there, plus the TextFormat...)

Is it possible to read HTML headers in AS3? The header contains the following meta tag:
Code:
<meta name="language" content="en-GB" scheme="rfc1766" />
The idea is to extract
Code:
content="en-GB"
into a variable (to control the language in the swf).

Why you need to actually send some data in order for UrlLoader to send custom request headers.For example this code is working:
var ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); ul.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onComplete

I would like to do this, without the "readfile()" part:
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename="".basename($file).""");
readfile("$file");
Basically I am trying to forward a download to another URL but at the same time I need to be able to set headers like "filename".
The readfile($file) function will not do it for me, because the the $file is not stored on the same server as the PHP script (not even the same datacenter) Is this even possible ? If not via PHP, maybe FLASH could do this ?

I am in the process of writing an application in Flex 3.3, using the Cairngorm framework, for deployment as an AIR application. The application heavily utilizes RemoteObject services to get data from a web server.Each of my service delegates extends a common class which provides a method for calling service methods on the RemoteObject.So, where I previously usedServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject('myService').myOperation.send();I instead usethis.send('myOperation', 'myService');I use this method instead of calling the RemoteObject operations directly because this method adds another, global, responder to the operation call. This extra responder analyses data in the headers of reponse from the server.
Or at least it should -- this is where the problem is. In the result data (event as mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent) the headers property is always null despite the headers definitely being sent from the server.

I can call an external javascript function that will do a post, but however the XmlHttpRequest infrastructure only want to setRequestHeader(key,value), and seems to need to be from a very specific list of strings. setRequestHeader("foo","bar") did not add a foo header in my outgoing request.
There does not seem to be a way to add the header meta tag. via javascript. Or at lease I am not finding it off of google.

I've been using Claudio's tutorial titled "Preloader & Transitions for Dynamic Files" and everything is working okay except for one minor detail. First off, what i am doing is loading external SWF headers on my site. Each of these headers are animated. Once the Transition Shutter Mask closes and loads the next header, it starts playing the external header animation immediately rather than waiting for the Transition Shutter Mask to fully open and then start playing the animation.
So as a result, users are missing the beginning parts of each animation. Also, I noticed that after I uploaded it to test the preloading, I missed more of the Header Animations due to the loading time difference. This means that I can not just insert the exact amount of blank frames, in which the shutter takes to close, to the beginning of each header animation.

I currently designed a website for my client in wordpress with rotating banner headers. The website theme is space and astronomy, hence my client wanted banners about space shuttles and galaxies etc. I have been able to do this .. but with one small hitch the banners are in the size of 50-70 KB each. You can check out the website at -[URL] What I wanted to know is
1. Is there a wordpress plugin which installs adobe flash on the website?
2. Will making the banners in flash reduce the load time?
3. Will using flash affect the user experience as I believe many mobile brosers and iPad's do not support flash?
