View 1 RepliesIf you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...
I am currently pulling in a series of RSS feeds into a series of TextAreas and am trying to style the fonts, both the Headings and the regular text. I am using
Code:
var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("p",

A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...
addChild(Texta1);
Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;

Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).
I have created a style in which i am defining a font family.When i apply this style to label it reflects the font were as there is no change when it is applied to a spark button.I Tried various way to Apply font style but it doesn't work.Other properties work fine except font family. Even i tried creating skin class and set the font family style of label in it. While previewing the skin i can see the changes but when i apply it to buttonApproach 1
@font-face{
src:url("HARNGTON.TTF");
fontFamily: MyF;

Is it possible to style the string returned from the labelFunction so I can change color and font of the callout (inside)? Or some other way? (It seems like a big limitation to have that only return a string that is unstylable.)
View 1 RepliesI'm interested in finding out the best approach to this issue, it's not technically difficult but there must be an elegant solution. Basically i have a form that features mostly text inputs, i would like to change the style of the input boxes based on the current state. I can do this in the mxml on each input...

I've got a comboBox component on the stage, instance name 'combo'. I want to style the text. I followed the adobe instructions, but they seem not work, and I get no errors.
Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I'm using flash builder 4.5 to make a website. At the moment I'm trying to work on the layout of my website but I'm facing some problems. First of all my CSS looks like this.

@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";

Are there any libraries out there which will help me style a Flex application without going insane?
For example, is there any "accepted" way to set an element's size/position without hard-coding it into each element?
TextArea in flex doesn't render <TABLE></TABLE>.
I want to display text in textarea in two columns. [code]...
Depending on text width in Column1 text in Column2 will be shifted. So all rows in Column2 are going to be aligned. How can I do this without html <table>?
When I set leading to 0 with Verdana (and others to) for a Flex TextArea I get strange results:
fontsize -> space between baselines
8 -> 10 (125%)
10 -> 12 (120%)

I'm trying to select the id of a textArea when it's focused in

Problem is TextArea is made up of RichEditableText so target doesn't actually refer to TextArea. I've tried event.target.parent.id but still not getting there. Anyone knows how to get to the bottom of this?
I have an mx:TextArea and I want its height to be the same as its content height. There is nothing fancy - just a text area and text that is not editable. I need a simple and reliable way to make the control fit and show all the text without vertical scroll - something like auto resizing. Also my control's text will be set only once and will not change as it will not be editable.
<mx:TextArea id="myTextArea"
editable="false"
width="100%"
verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:text>

There is one more post here on the same topic but it is not relevant to me because the setup there is a lot more complicated as it includes styling and binding.
Is there any advance TextArea that can attached image(image is alligned with the text) and the image can be movable inside the text area.I know that text area can support html text and can insert image tag but it is very limited, I can't move the picture inside textArea by dragging it or even add events on it.
View 3 RepliesI want to integrate itemrenderers in a TextArea. The purpose is to visualize keywords with their own easy interface while the user still can treat the whole thing as normal text to select the font, fontsize, etc.

As per my observation this does not work in flex4:
<mx:TextArea id="taMytext" text="
hi
san"/> //use of
does not work here
<s:Button label="Click it" click="Myfun()" />
Using script it's possible:
public function Myfun():void
{
taMytext.text="hi
";
taMytext.text+="san";
}
I have a TextArea that allows user input. I also have TextInput that the user can type a string into and I want to be able to search through the TextArea for the string in the TextInput. I've never done anything like this before, searching for strings, so I don't know which functions to use or how to go about it.EDIT:
protected function searchBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
text = mainTextField.text;

This is the question: How can i Skin the VScrollBar from a TextArea!? I did skin a VScrollBar from a Spark List and works fine but not this one!
View 1 RepliesConsider the following scaled down example of a much larger application:I have text areas with id attributes and click events:
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box1" text="blahblahblah"/>
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box2" text="blahblahblah"/>
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box3" text="blahblahblah"/>

I do a lot of work with GWT but don't have experience of Flex. I was talking to a guy today who was looking at moving some large Flex based applications to GWT due to the Flex application getting too big and using too much memory in the browser. This is a problem I have had before with GWT - browser apps using lots of memory as all the code gets loaded when it starts.
However, in GWT 2.0 there is now a code splitting feature to overcome the problem of the client code getting too big. This allows all the code (javascript) not to be loaded as one big file on start up but instead code split into different files that can be loaded when required.
I was thinking as to if there is anything similar in Flex. I assume the Flex application code all lives in one single SWF file which loads at start-up so this approach is not possible but thought there might be other solutions.
I have a fairly complex Flex application that uses many different components. I want the application to be able to custom styling and/or skinning. I also want to be sure that the styling approach makes the most efficient use of system resources (memory, CPU, network), and that it does not adversely impact performance. We currently are using a hybrid approach to styling the application that uses both CSS and a Flash skin created in CS3. It seems odd to me to have a two-pronged approach to styling an application and ideally would like to settle on one approach or the other. Some outline about advantages and disadvantages of using either exclusively CSS or a Flash skin? Is there a justification for using both within the same app?
Using CSS exclusively seems advantageous because it is approachable by anyone with a basic understanding of other uses of CSS, especially when using the Flex 2 Style Explorer. On the other hand, I know that the CS3 skin we use declares up/over/down/disabled/pressed skins for each component where these states are needed and Flex manages the transitions to the appropriate skins as each state is (de)activated. However, my impression is that creation of a Flex skin in CS3 requires somewhat specialized skills and tools. So what would you recommend for styling a Flex application if performance, customization, and efficient resource utilization are priorities?
I'm using a CSS file to style my flex application. can I use components IDs to change their style from the CSS file? Or I should add the styleName attribute for each element?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to change the header color and the row color of the datagrid. Apparently, its not a spark component so can't apply skin on it.
View 3 RepliesHopefully simple question: I'm trying to set the alternatingItemColors on a datagrid via some values that I set in a CSS file but nothing seems to work. the CSS file looks something like this:
.FACS0 {color: #B0B0B0;}
.SACS0 {color: #A6A6A6;}
.AICS0

I was wondering if anyone has run across a style or stylesheet replicating the default Flex 4 style (Spark) over to Flex 3. I love the cleaner and less blue look of Flex 4, but I have to develop an application with Flex 3 for compatibility purposes.
View 1 RepliesIf I have a button named:
<mx:Button id="backButton">
and another named:<mx:Button id="cancelButton"
How can I style each button seperatly?
Can I give each button a style, then set the style in CSS... E.g.
Button #style { backgroundColor: red;}
So i decided to implement some themes in my AIR app. I have converted my CSS files into SWF files, removed the Style linkage from my main file. Based on the user preferences stored in a file, I decide which theme to use. i.e; load the SWF file using StyleManager class.
I made my application window invisible, added a StyleEvent.COMPLETE event listener for the IEventDispatcher object returned by StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations method. After the StyleEvent.COMPLETE occurs, I made my main window visible.
The problem i have now is, for a few seconds, i can see white canvases and all my components without any styles before using the style selected. I want to know if my approach is correct or do I need to make any changes to implement this properly?
I got struck with tooltip position as well as style. I used string validator to perform validation. Error tooltip is coming right hand side by default. I want to change it on top of the text field as well as its clolor also. but I just want it to perform with every tooltip not with any specific one.
View 1 RepliesI have figured out a way to change the style of tabs at run time with following logic:
var cssStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".MyTabs");
cssStyle.setStyle("borderColor", "red");
But here ".MyTabs" class is applicable to all the tabs between first and last tab. As per getStyleDeclaration javadoc, it only accepts "class selector" and "type selector" not the id selector.
How can I change the individual tab style at run time?
