I am experimenting with e4x. I could programmatically add an attribute to an Xml by doing something like this :

now i have added a name attribute to it programmatically because even though the xml had no attribute called name, after the statement above, it automatically has one now. My difficulty now is how do i , as well, remove the name attribute i have inserted programmatically again?
My goal is to remove all hover feedback from the UI. The motivation is for testing touch interface prototypes and not wanting users to have the queue of interactivity when the mouse hovers which they won't have with a touch interface.
I have a partial solution but it has two problems:
Requires an event handler on each component. Flickers on hover.
protected function ui_suppressHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var b = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;

I have read many many post and I don't find the answer of how to remove completely a swf load external.Every time I load and unload I see the windows memory task manager and see that the memory increase and don't reduce when remove child.
this is my code:
var oneLoader=new Loader();
bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swf1);

how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
I have developed a touchscreen application that works perfectly fine except for the memory issue. Basically, the touchscreen app works kinda like a website with navgation on the side and content displaying next to it. I separeate each section into external swfs, and load each one up when it is needed, thinking it would reduce memory used on the pc. But unlike actionscript 2, AS 3 would not remove the external swfs from the memory. You can remove it from the stage and you won't see it, but the swf will still stay in the memory! So... as you navigate through the app, loading up all these external swf, even I do loader.unloadAndStop();, the swf is still there, and they just keep piling up in the memory as you navigate from the app. After leaving the touchscreen for a day or 2, having all these users naviage through it, all the external swfs will just completely consume all the resources and freeze the pc.

View 1 RepliesWhat should i add to my code if i want to add some Tween effect to removeChild procedure?

Will this line
clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().
In document class action script file I add a movie clip to stage using
Code:
public var square:Square
square = new Square
addChild(square)
So it adds square to stage.Then after sometime I want it to be removed. I call a function "removeSquare" also located in document class. It executes the following code. And it removes the square from stage visualy.
Code:
trace("proff that it's executed")
removeChild(square)
square = null
Then of course I want to add a square to stage again, using code I written at top of the post. And remove it again, and so on..But game is lagging more and more and more. So I guess that the square is not properly removed. If you need more details about my code feel free to say, I just written that since I really doesn't know what else should be important.

Is there a way to put a ripple transition on a menu button? In Final Cut Pro I can add a transition from one video to another or end a video with a ripple effect like you have just touched water. Is there a way to create that ripple effect on a pop up menu in my flash file so that the menu will ripple dissolve when I press a button instead of the menu just vanishing?
View 3 RepliesI'm building a website that has a main swf with buttons that open external swfs which completely cover the main swf. The external swf has a close button to return to the main swf. My problem is when the external swf is open the buttons hiding underneath on the main swf are still active. I want to add code to the button on the main swf to disable itself while opening the external swf. BUT, I also want to reactivate them when I close the external swf. Is there code I can place on the close button of the external swf that will communicate to the main swf to reactivate its buttons? It seems so simple but this is the trickiest part for me.

I can make it so the content fades to view, but I don't know how to made it fade away and then have new content fade in when you click another button.

i'm having real issues with what I thought would be quite a simple transitional effect.I've made a simple test fla with 3 images (movieclips) which move on to the stage from left to right and fade from alpha 0 -100 at the same time. Images move on to the stage in response to clicking 3 separate buttons (Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3). Buttons are set to perform transitional effects which have been 'saved' as functions in the actionscript.
The image that is currently on the stage should fade out as a new image is called in - but I cannot seem to achieve it. Trying to research how to achieve this is getting me nowhere fast, just getting more confused with 'image loaders','transition manager','arguments' etc, etc .Here is my (embarrassing) sample code so far:
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//transition functions[code].....
There is more code, but nothing that relates to the transitional effects.Currently, each transition function 'tells' the other 2 images to fade out (whether they are on the stage or not). This works, but some images appear above others which means that they fade out on top of the image that has just been called on to the stage, which is a serious problem.
I guess some additional functions are required in the code that somehow differentiate between what is the current image (which should fade out) and what is the new image (which should move in and fade in above any other image on the stage).
I have downloaded the following code and tried to change it. It works so far, but the attached MC are "pulsating" - if I change them with another MC (with text inside) I can't use them as a Menu links - they are "pulsating" too much and I can't read/see the text properly. where in code I can change(reduce) this "pulsation"? how can I make the MC-s cklickable=working as a buttons with mouseover/mouseout effects (changing color etc.)
View 1 RepliesI'm experiencing some strange text rendering behavior in the Spark RichEditableText component.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code] .....
The above application simply navigates through the five sentences in the DATA array (every time the Next button is pressed). For whatever reason, RichEditableText component doesn't completely reset its view (by clearing the previous text) before setting new content. From what I can gather, this faulty rendering is somehow based on the combination of line count and relative width. I also discovered that if I set the width property of the RichEditableText component to an absolute value (say, 100) as opposed to relative (percentage, 100%) the text is rendered correctly. As far as I can see, this behavior is unintended and is, in fact, a bug.
I need to completely initialize a custom component in my Flex app (i.e. I should be able to access it from action script and get its properties and its children etc), But I do not want to add it to the display or make it visible. I have tried to add it to my visible component, but keep it visible, but often many of its properties are set only when it is drawn, so i don't get what i need. Is there a way to add a custom component to some sort of 'Virtual' display, that is not visible to the user?
View 3 RepliesFor the application that I am developing in AIR, I have removed the chrome through the app.xml. I am managing the features of minimizing, maximizing, close, resize and all other functions from within the application. I am facing a problem with resize feature. I have defined the grips for resizing and also I am able to display my custom cursor when mouse moves over it. The problem is that only the part of this cursor is visible which lies inside the boundary of the application rest of the cursor image is hidden.For implementing the custom cursor, I do the following.Embed the cursor image.
[Embed(source='/resources/images/resize_right.png')]
public var resizeRight:Class;
Add the event listener to the canvas that acts as a grip.
rightResizeGrip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, function(e)
{
setResizeCursor(CURSOR_RIGHT);

I am presuming this is because the image hasn't finished reading the png file off the disk yet. What event can I monitor to know when it's width and height will have the right values? The 'Complete' event only seems to work for DOWNLOADED images. The 'Render' event happens EVERY FRAME. The (undocumented?) 'sourceChanged', happens as soon as source changes, and has the same problem! What event do I watch that will let me know when the image's width and height properties will have valid values? Or is there some Synchronous version of I.source='xxx.png', that I don't know about?
P.S. Yes, I know I shouldn't use "C:" in an Air Program. This was just for illustrative purposes, so that you won't suggest I use "Complete", which never even seems to fire when the file indicated by source is local.

I seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?
