View 1 RepliesI have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
I have a web-application whose UI is implemented in GXT (ext GWT).Now I want to switch to Flex but as the application is so large that I cannot afford to start migrating the whole application at once.So I have decided to migrate slowly. So what I want is to bring up a Flex panel on the click of a GXT's button.Basically the idea is how to make Flex components listen to the events generated by GXT's component.
View 1 Repliessome may know im building a hell-of-a-component. which basically types text. i figured out how to get a movieclip to act as a cursor. but now that my list of options/attributes/settings or whatever you want to call them are so huge, i decided i really had to make a custom UI. now ive done most of it now (hence the array.sort() question earlier - thanks sen! ) but i want to be able to preview what the current cursor is (if they choose to use a movieclip!).
the path of the movieclip to be used as a cursor is, from within the component is: Typr.cursorMC i tried using xch.Typr.cursorMC but that didnt work and ive no idea how i could link in with a currently open flash document. or if its even possible.
I'm curious when Adobe are going to repair the performance issues inside component inspector panel in CS5? Scrolling through the properties of some components is ridiculously slow, 486 like slow...
View 2 RepliesFlex 4 Spark component Panel - Hide Title Bar I have used Spark panel to display the object inside a container. The panel and the inside elements are created dynamically. (using ActionScript). I need to remove the title bar of the panel in actionscript. When i tried to remove that, i am unable to hide the same. Tried below ways.

I'm extending the Flex 3 panel component. I need to figure out the width of the title's text. Because, title is a private variable in panel, I can't access it via title.width.I know the font, fontsize (14), and length of the title (which will vary). Knowing this info is there a way to calculate how many pixels wide the title is?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?

View 13 RepliesI am trying to create my first real world Flex application. I will have a lot of different data entry / data view screens so I thought I would create many different components to deal with each different type of data that was being returned. I have a MXML application called Layout, and have component called "Navigator" which controls the menu, as well as a ViewStack called "MainContent".
I want the Navigator component to change the ViewStack on the Layout application to that of another Component (each Component is embedded within the Canvas of each ViewStack). I have a click handler on my Navigator which looks like this: Layout.ContentFrame.selectedChild=event.itemRenderer.data.clickValue; However it shows the error "Access of possibly undefined property ContentFrame through a reference with a static type Class." Is my approach a good way of doing it? I have attempted referencing it using FlexGlobals.Layout and topLevelApplication.Layout... neither of which work?[URL]
I made a flash website with photo galleries using a component that I bought online. The component is loading the image in a thumbnail scroll bar via a XML file and the full size image display in a UILoader. So far nothing special. But when I reach a certain amount of pictures in the gallery, the scroll panel get stuck while loading and doesn't display the full size image. Then the thumbnails don't react at all.

How can you find out if a Flex Component (in my case the tree) is scrollable? I tried it like this
if (_listOwner.height < _listOwner.measuredHeight) {
// so stuff
}
from within the tree's item renderer but didn't succeed. Access to the tree's scrollbar is private so that I can't get the info that way.
Does anyone know if there is a way to find the height of the text within the TextLayout class?
I am making my TextLayout objects like so:
this._textFlow = new TextFlow();
this._paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
this._textFlow.addChild(this._paragraphElement);
[Code].....
All the public properties I'd expect to find the height are undefined such as this._textFlow.lineHeight.
i'm building my first RIA in flex, and did a little of research to find a radar chart component free, but all i found is not free (licence >500$).Where can i find it for free ?
View 2 RepliesI've created a custom component with several inline item renderers that I use as a tooltip. The height of the component is unknown, as the data contents of the component are not known until runtime.
However, when displaying the tooltip, occasionally it extends beyond the boundaries of the flash application, thus, I'd like to be able to detect this occurrence and reposition the tip.
The problem is that the height and width of the component are, apparently, not available until after being rendered by the popup manager. (i.e. they are always 0)But, I do not know any way of finding out when the popup is actually rendered and, therefore, the height/width values available.

Is it possible (if so how) to find out what word the cursor/mouse is over when it is moving over a < mx:Text > component?So for example as the user moves the mouse along a sentence (inside text component), each word will highlight as they go (I know you can highlight while pressing the mouse button down - but that not how I wish to do it).

View 2 RepliesI'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?
i am trying to review flash for our game thesis in school. i am trying to read a pdf file about flash and i am trying to do the examples listed in the notes.but i can't find the location of the project panel. Well i know where it lies if i used my own laptop with the prescribe flash in it. (FYI, i am using the company's installed flash in my assigned computer. i am an ojt here and since i finished their project early, i dont do much here anymore) so as pass time, i study flash for our thesis (my boss doesn't mind. He believed learning is good)The flash installed here i thinks is a bit old version. and honestly, i can't apply what i am learning since the setup is way different.So does anyone knows where the project panel is located? or if it is close, where can i open it? The company is using a Macromedia Flash MX by the way,

View 2 RepliesI'm building this game, and it was working fine, until I used the menuBar component. It's not code related, 'cause i've commented out the script that does things with the menuBar. If I drag the MenuBar component from the component window, onto my Stage , the game refuses to work. If I deleet it (but keep it IN my library), it still doesn't work!. But if I turn the export settings of the MenuBar off, it works! The classes that i'm using for my game are called Node.as, JawBreaker.as The class I want to use to do something with the menuBar is called GameMenu.as (but that doesn't matter, since I commented the calling of that class out).
