I'm having a viewstack with a few components. Those components have to execute a function with parameters coming from other components. Therefore the other component may not me loaded directly. Is there any way to load a component via AS3 with a function?
View 2 RepliesI have a viewstack in my main application
public var currentStep:int;
<mx:ViewStack id="step" selectedIndex="{currentStep}">
<comp:Choosecar id="choosecar" />
<comp:Configcar id="configcar" />
</mx>
I'm using a drag and drop inside to choosecar component, so I want to change the 'currentstep' - which is a variable of the main application - with +1 so the viewstack changes to the second component 'configcar'. The only solution I found is calling a component from the main application, I need it the other way around but I can't find it.
Do you know any flex component with the functionality such as horizontally collapsible window or panel I found arc90, but it folds vertically.

I have a viewstack with 3 items in it. Now my problem is that I want all these components to be of the same size. Its simply enough to do this manually but is there any other way of setting the size for all the components at once?
View 2 RepliesI have a viewstack with two tabs.In one of them there is a data grid shows a list of notes. The other one is includes a form that can edit notes or crates new note. I want the user to be able to add new note or edit existing note when clicks an item in data grid. I mean when user clicks an item the viewstack must become editor.
View 1 RepliesI've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?
How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.

I'm embedding a flash object in an html page and calling windows.onload to initialize the Flash movie. The problem is that the windows.onload does not wait for the Flash object to completely load. Is there way to make sure that the Flash object has fully loaded?

var falshObj = null;
function pageInit() {

I'm looking for an alternative to native Flash components. They are way to heavy for my needs. I'm looking for something light, simple, still customizable if possible for AS3. I'm specifically looking for combobox, checkbox, radio button.I'm looking for something reliable with support eventually...so basically I'm ready to pay the price of a good alternative.
View 1 RepliesI'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?
i believe it is quite simple but i'm not able to do this. situation is something like this:
function name123():void //i m already in a function.
{
....
var a:Loader = new Loader(); //define a loader
[Code]....
i know if i give set width and height in eventComplete function, i could do but the situation is different and i've to set the sizes in name123 function only.
In this app/website I'm building, I will be making many requests for data (via an external PHP file that queries a MySQL database). I'd like to build this request mechanism into its own class so I can reuse it.What's the best way to handle this? I'm thinking the following would work, but I'm a bit lost on the last step:1) From the main class, call a method in the query class (with whatever arguments apply, to specify what data I need etc).
2) Set up a listener in the main class and make the program enter a sort of "wait" state (possibly visually, if these requests wind up taking more than a half-second or so)3) From query class (upon receiving the data), dispatch event to let main class know it's received the data.4) Send data to main class. <---- How should this be achieved?For #4, should I create a custom event that dispatches with the data inside the event object for the main class to receive when it's notified? Will this be a problem if I have lots of different types of requests (will I need a new custom event for each type?)? Or is there some other sort of "return" I can/should use (similar to calling a function that returns a value)
I have seen flash sites that wait to load different parts of the flash file until you click on a link, thereby starting a loading graphic that then loads the content you're looking for. I can't find any information on how to do this, and I'm guessing I just can't find the right terminology.

View 8 RepliesThere are lots of examples of how to create skinnable components in AS3 using the new Spark component architecture, however I've yet to find any such examples using MXML.What I'm mainly referring to is defining the skin parts and skin states. It seems as though the SkinPart metadata is supposed to be associated with properties and as such can't be used in MXML, is this correct?

how to extend Components, like if i hav to place images next to the content inside a listBox Component, how do i do that?
View 1 RepliesI have a general question about AS3. I recently purchased a piece of code - an image scroller - as a component. I like the component, and it works well - except for one issue. When I first addChild the component to the display list of a Sprite, it works well, and the images begin with image 1. However, when I removeChild the component, and then later addChild it again, the images display at a seemingly random point along the image sequence. The component has a settings file and an images array which are xml files, and I have three separate pairs, one for each instance. My question is this: is their a way to force components to re-evaulate ("re-set") each time they load? I'd like to component to move to first image everytime.

In my flex project i used one option like Link button . If i like it will be open new page contain more information and components . Which container is suitable one ? Where is used viewstack and stages ?
View 2 RepliesSuppose I have a ViewStack like this:
<mx:ViewStack id="s" left="5" right="5" bottom="5" top="0" width="100%" height="100%" creationPolicy="all" minHeight="0">
<mx:Repeater id="repeater" dataProvider="{dp}" height="100%" width="100%" minHeight="0">
<mx:Box id="bx" label="{repeater.currentItem.label}" width="100%" height="100%" minHeight="0">
<mx:Label minHeight="0" width="100%" height="100%" label="bob" />
</mx:Box></mx:Repeater></mx:ViewStack>
With a large number of items in the stack (each having a large number of panels, databinding, etc), this gets extremely slow. The Repeater seems to trigger creation of all children regardless of the creationPolicy of the viewStack itself.
