Flash :: TabIndex Fails In A Swf Loaded Into A Flex App?
Jun 25, 2009
I feel like I'm missing something really simple here. I'm loading a AS3 swf containing a form (created by one of our designers) into a flex app. The swf's tabIndex properties work fine when the swf is viewed by itself, however, once it's loaded into the flex app:
<mx:SWFLoader source="form.swf" top="20" horizontalCenter="0" id="formSwf" complete="swfCompleteHandler(event)"/>
the form fields stop receiving focus on tab. I've been looking at the FocusManager in flex, for some sort of solution, but I can't seem to find any examples, and I'm not entirely sure I'm looking in the right place. Am I stuck redoing this form in flex?

i made a SWF which contains a loader which loads any SWF file passed to it... the problem I'm encountering is that for some SWFs, some event listeners doesn't fire anymore... my own SWF file (which contains the loader) doesn't really have any other element except for the Loader object and so I cannot understand what seems to be preventing the loaded SWF (loaded by my Loader) from receiving some mouse events
it seems that the for the SWF where I'm having this problem, the listener seems to be tied up to a location in the stage or somewhere else, and so whenever I resize, the listeners is not responding on the right place, for example, the button appears on a certain position but the listener's hit test or whatever the SWF is using to detect the mouse click is positioned somewhere else

I've got a problem with following example code in flex:
Test.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" [code]..........
When I start the application and press Tab to cycle through controls, the focus jumps to the first text box, then to the first radio button of the first TestComponent, and then directly to the last textbox missing the second and the third TestComponents.
UPD: Explicitely setting tabIndex does not work either:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"[code]...............

I've got a child SWF that loads images from XML. in that child I've got a progress bar component tied to the loading if the image.When I test that child on it's own, the progress bar displays as it should.The problem comes when I load that child into it's parent SWF file. The progress bar magically disappears, and I get this message
Code:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

I have two SWFs on an HTML page. One loads fine and the other (loaded externally) apparently fails.
I get this from the server:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
I get this when testing it locally in Safari:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I don't really understand where the hick-up is... because my paths are actually quite simple. All my flash files on the website are located in the same folder. The first one loads in fine, but the one being loaded into it does not. When viewing the SWF by itself, everything checks out as well.

I have a button with a tabIndex. The button contains a textfield.When I click on the edge of the button and hit tab, the next item is correctly focussed.But when I click on the textfield (non-editable,not tab-enabled, no tabindex), and then hit tab, it focusses on the first object on the page, even though the parents focusIn function is triggered, in which I'm setting the focus to the parent object[code]...

In my application, when I have got an modal window with tab navigation enabled for all the fields. When I am working with chrome, the navigation works fine but when i try it in IE, when i press on tab from the last field, instead of going to the first field, the control goes to the address bar. Does anyone know how to rectify this issue? Is it possible to set next-navigable-item on items?

I am having an issue with a playbook app I am working on. This is the first one i've done using Flex Burrito Hero, and on the simulator I noticed that the app fails to minimize gracefully (when multi-tasking etc). Are there any resources for handling minimization or anything that could help guide me to debug whats going on with that?

I've hit a snag when trying to debug an AIR app using adl.
Although adl successfully launches, the application never appears on screen / starts up.
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
Update: I've also since uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder (and therefore, the AIR SDK), and it still doesn't work. I think this adds weight to the port conflict, but still leaves me unsure of where / how to proceed
Further update Compiling exactly the same codebase to a AIR installer, installing, and running the application works fine. (Ie., a production release). However, the codebase fails to launch with adl. This pretty much confirms the issue as a local machine config problem somewhere with adl, and not an issue with the codebase.

I'll ONLY recieve an "Error #3000: Illegal path name" if I try to open a file which is placed inside the app-folder of the air. If the file is somewhere else outside of the app-folder it works.
private var file:File = File.documentsDirectory;
public function download():void{
var pdfFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("PDF Files", "*.pdf");
[Code]....
When i try to get the same file and copy it to another place it's doing fine.
Why that? Something special to do if i wanna open files which are inside the appfolder? It also don't work in debug mode - bin-debug.

I have a main swf and some nav items which load in external swfs. This all works but it needs to be accessible. No problem. I created a set of alt nav buttons for tabbing. This works. what doesn't work is when an external swf is loaded in I can't the extranal swf to get the focus. It just stays on the buttons on the main swf.For buttons on the main swf I have set the tabIndex and in the external swf those buttons have their tabIndex's set and all are unique numerically.

Does anyone know if there is a way to set focus to the next item in the tabIndex? So for example (in psuedo code): stage.focus = whatever the next item in the tabIndex is
Maybe something like tabIndex.next? I know this doesn't work because I already tried it, but maybe something like it?

I'm trying to propagate an assignment to the data parameter of a sub-component through it's parent component's setter. Like this:
<CustomComponent
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="components.*"
[Code].....
When I ran my application, the sub-component never received its data. When debugging and stepping to the line marked "ref #1", the debugger jumps out of the method and continues on to something else as if the method was complete. It seems like some exception or error was thrown but the console gives no indication of what is wrong with this assignment.
Environment: This is using Flex SDK 3.2, with the Flex Builder 3 plugin for Eclipse on Windows, with Flash 9 Debug ver. for IE7.
Note: With this particular example I'm trying to avoid Binding on purpose. I mean, why can't I manually push the data to the sub-component rather than binding it?

I have a Button that when clicked loads a Flex module in my AIR application. However,occasionally the Module fails to load the first time the button is clicked, but it works the second time it's clicked. When I debug it in the debugger the READY event is not fired so the remaining logic is never called.
var moduleInfo:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(managedModule.url);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, function(event:ModuleEvent):void {
trace("ModuleEvent.READY called.");

In Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

I have a series of dynamically generated textfield boxes that form a grid and I want users to enter a single character and then have the focus change to the next box. I have had all kinds of issues trying to reference the next textfield using the instance name I gave them when they are generated, so I thought if there was a way to just automatically go to the next item in the tabindex, that would be perfect.

I have a login system set up in flash where people enter an email and password. Hence,there's two text fields and a submit button.This submit button responds to the Enter key on the keyboard.The problem is that if I define those two textfields with tabIndex, the submit button does not respond to the enter key anymore.

I'm trying to add tabIndexing to a dynamically-created form, with a SEND button on the end that is constructed from a custom button class that extends Sprite.
For some reason, the tabIndex gets stuck on this button no matter what I do. If I disable it -- and enable it only for the TextFields -- it works fine, cycling through all of the TextFields endlessly. But as soon as I give this custom button Sprite a tabIndex value, it will highlight that button just fine in the order I tell it, but I can no longer tab or shift-tab to get off of the button again; it remains stuck there unless I use the mouse to click somewhere else and start over.
In an attempt to eliminate any variables, I threw this code together -- essentially the same thing I'm trying to do -- and it gets stuck with this code as well[code]....

I have several input text fields in flash. For instance, email and password to login. I also have a button that responds to the Enter key (to submit the data). Everything works perfectly until I use the tabIndex property in ActionScript. The moment I define those 2 text fields as tab Indexes the Enter Key does not execute the submit button. I can only click the button with the mouse.
I have:
userName.tabIndex=1;
password.tabIndex=2;
Where userName and password are the text field names. TabIndex works then but not the Enter key. It's only one or the other. How can I make Tabindex and Enter key Compatible?

I have a contact form on my site for which the text inputs are created via AS2. This works fine but I cannot get the tabbing to work (or even have any effect) no matter what I do. I have a menu that sometimes displays at the top, sometimes on the left and sometimes at the bottom. If it's at the top or bottom then the form tabbing works fine, however if it's down the side then when i tab from contact_namefield it goes to the 8th menu option, then the 9th menu option, then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.Similarly if i tab from the top of the menu it's goes down sequentially to menu option 7, then to contact_namefield, then menu option 8, then menu option 9 then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.
I cannot for the life of me work out how to change this, I would rather avoid setting tabenabled=false for every other element on the page (as i'd still like these to be tabbed), but either way I don't think this will fix it as the tabindexes i've specified seem to be having no affect at all, no matter what values i put in (even if i reverse them) the tab order is always exactly the same. I am using the following code and would be so grateful if anyone could point out what i'm doing wrong as I can't for the life of me figure it out!
var currfont=_root.textfont;
var inputcol = "0x" + _root.textcolour;var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.bold = false;my_fmt.font = "Arial";my_fmt.color = inputcol;

I have set up a Qwerty keyboard within a swf using duplicateMovieClip() - all works fine. If I have no tabbing whatsoever then I can use the tab key to randomly jump all over the keyboard.
But I would like it to tab in an order. Other buttons at the _root level are tabbing fine but these dynamically created ones are not doing a thing.
The keyboard buttons are created within a movieclip called mcContent which is sat at the _root level, anything within this mc is usually referenced by mcContent. or _level0.mcContent. (if it is being really fussy).
I have an instructions button - if this is NOT included in the tabIndex then the tabbing will work on the keyboard, erratically, but it at least goes there. As soon as I set _root.mcInstructionsBtn.tabIndex = 1; then nothing but the _root level buttons work
I have tried to add the tabIndex when creating the movieclips but this has not worked either. I have tried to set the tabIndex in a copy version where the keyboard buttons are created at the _root level and it functions exactly the same.

I have a challenge in a flash movie with TabIndex that involves some pretty comprehensive keyboard functionality and have solved the problem but the client is not madly happy with the solution. Problem is I don't know whether there is another way of solving it.
I've built a app the allows the user to upload a picture and manipulate it using marker placement. You can either drag the markers with the mouse or using tabIndex can tab through them then, once highlighted, you can move each marker up, down, left and right using the WASD keys.
I thought this was a nice solution since gamers are familiar with WASD to move directionally, however the client wants to use the arrow keys for this function. The problem resides in the fact that within the tabindex the arrow keys act in the same way as the tab, in that they tab forward or back through the index.
Client suggest tabbing to marker, clicking ENTER to disable tabbing, using the arrows to move the marker, then clicking ENTER again to re-enable the tabbing, move to the next marker, click ENTER to disable... etc etc.
