I'm working on a flash project, the designer designs UI by Flash CS5 and export the UI as swc file, I use Flex to control the data on the UI.
The designer uses shapes for the UI design, it is easy for him to define the colors and background, but I need this shapes more like a component like Combo box, so I can display the data on those shapes.
Is there any easy way to covert shapes to combo box or the similar operations?
I need a way to disable the mouse over events for a combo box flash component as it is sitting inside a movieclip (A) on the stage, when I mouse over the movie clip I add a glow to a different mc (B) in the movie. Problem is is that the combo box is preventing the mouse over even in A to occur so B is not 'lighting up'.None of this works as it still appears to register a MouseOver event:
Code: Select allmyComboBox.focusEnabled = false;
myComboBox.textField.focusEnabled = false;
myComboBox.dropdown.focusEnabled = false;'s built in ones?

Hi guys I get this coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Shape@41754601 to flash.display.
When I create an instance of a MovieClip from my library:
var childmc:ChipEasy = new ChipEasy(); Canvas.Map.Tiles.addChild(childmc);
When I try to access all the children like: for (var i:int=0; i<Canvas.Map.Tiles.numChildren-1; i++){
var mc:MovieClip = Canvas.Map.Tiles.getChildAt(i);
}
How do i change the font color of combo-box component?

View 2 Replies It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I have a flex component that is using mostly mx and actionscript code. I am using it fine in my AIR application, however, I need to be able to use certain Air libraries within this component, so I need to make it Air 'aware' or compatible. For example, I need to get a reference to the current active window, so it looks like I need to use NativeApplication.activeWindow. But when I type this in to my component actionscript class, it does not know about NativeApplication. So it seems I have to do something to that project to enable Air classes, unless there is another approach?

How do i set a property of tool tip and in which function that wherever i use this combo box the tool tip is appear.
using the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?
I'm trying to insert some data into my DB from two Combo Boxes in Flash. I'm not quite sure how to go about it.

View 1 RepliesIm a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task.

The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.

I've read on the net that there is the flex component kit for flash that allows me to convert flash symbol to flex component or container.
I tried installing Flex_Skins_12_05.mxp that suppose to enable these features in flash cs4 but under the commands tab i can't see any commands related to flex conversion.
appropriate plugin to install in flash cs4 in order to convert it's symbols to be usable with flex ? t
