Here is what I'm trying to do. I have some TextArea objects inside a HGroup, created in the mxml part. I want them to have an id of an element of a bidimensional Array, a matrix. I'm having problems declaring the TextArea objects as Array components. I've tried a lot of formats and google it, but I found nothing relevant.
View 1 RepliesSo heres my code in my main game loop:
Code:
if (! initialized)
{
for (var c = 1; c < 1000; c++)
[Code].....
The error given is "1120: Access of undefined property particle4." However, everything traces correctly, but the individual particles cannot be accessed outside of the loop. Eventually I want to add the next particle at the mouse position on every click, but obviously I can't do that without being able to access the individual particles. I also read about having to use getChildByName() to access names set in AS3, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Is it possible that such simple thing isn't possible to change. I searched for this but couldn't find anything useful.
View 2 RepliesIn the AdvancedDataGrid component, when you are in Edit mode in a cell, you can hit the Escape key to cancel editing (i.e. return to the previous value in the cell).I had expected the same behaviour while in Edit mode in both the Halo and Spark TextInput and TextArea components, and was surprised to find out that this is not the case.I looked at the attributes of all four components to see if this is something that I need to configure, but couldn't find anything.

I'm declaring an array like this:
data[0] = [200, 10, 0, 32, -20, 0.25, 0.154, 0.5, 10, 0.95, 1, 20, 90, 0.95, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0];
it's an array within an array, as you can see. However the way things are laid out here isn't as efficient or manageable as i'd like.The second two values, 10 and 0, are actually linked coordinates. When i'm using them, i extract them and use them as X and Y for a point.
What i'm thinking is that this extra step seems like an unnecessary annoyance, and bloats my code.It would be best to simply put a point type variable into tjhe array in the first place. But can i do that? what would be the correct syntax?

I'm used to building web apps using proper architectures, but relatively new to the RIA space.One of the issues in rich client app is approaches to handling communication across components. (I've played around using the EventBroker concept.)In a recent Flex3/AS app I was looking at they took an approach that seemed to work pretty well, but I wonder about the drawbacks (or any other pros)...They took the concept of having a singleton object that would hold objects that could be used obviously from any components within the app by a simple call to...
var myAppModel:AppModel = AppModel.getInstance();
You thus could put any objects in there that you wanted access to from different components. It seemed to serve as the equivalent of a "Session" in the JEE space. I'm not so sure from an OO perspective it's the best thing to do, but it did seem to work pretty well.
I am using an SWC library so that I could use the fl.controls.TextArea in my project in FlashDevelop. While working on an unrelated section of my code I noticed that all my TextArea objects had turned extremely blurry (both the text and the UI elements). I'm not sure when this started, but when I first added and setup the TextArea I spent a lot of time tweaking and configuring it and didn't have any issues with the sharpness of the object.
View 1 RepliesI've posted my question on other forum but without success so I couraged myself to ask here too. I've got an application (see image) which consists mainly from two different components. It is media player similar to winamp or so. Two main components are MainPanel and second one Playlist. These contain several other components so MainPanel constains Buttons objects TimeCounter or TrackDescriptionWidnow etc. and Playlist contains AlbumNext AlbumPrev buttons, Display which holds Textfields with names of tracks. So the thing which is most complicated is actually communicatig between some objects. Let's say I click on the track in the Playlist. In fact many objects need data when other one changes its state. When I click NextTrackButton in MainPanel, next songName displayed in the Playlist needs to shine, or if the ShuffleButton is pressed one of the random song will be played. My question is how to communicate between objects that are not in the propagation scope when events occur For example if some object fire an event in the playlist(Component2) only objects that come from Stage through Engine can listen for that event. So objects in MainPanel can not hear dispatched event. I've got many events, many objects listening for some of them, and I ended up with the total mess who is listening for. I register events to my class by public static const EVENT_NAME; and then dispatch it on that occured situtation. I managed to add some events listener to Engine and set bubbling to true, this way Engine can listen for most of the events, but then I have to dispatc new event to the other component to make it listening. Do you know how to communicate properly between differently scoped objects?
View 3 Repliesis it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:

I'm writing a Flex application using Flash Builder 4 and I'm having a bit of trouble with an AS3 object.Essentially, it is a BorderContainer, with a few buttons and images, and programming logic that determines how these interact with eachother and a database.
What I want to be able to do is configure the layout/style of the inner components using MXML and CSS. I can configure the inherited objects, but not ones that I have defined.[code]...
I am pretty new to flex, specially to mxml part. There are some confusing things for me.[code]...
So question is how do I access that button's properties. I want when something happens in Xyz file, button's (someId) visibility to become false. If Abc.mxml was AS class file then it would be easy, just make object etc., but how to get if it's mxml file.
I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection.

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

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 declared an Array as a new Array(); I would like to push objects into that array but have a text field read back the array minus the commas that are pushed by user interaction (from numbered buttons).
