Flex :: 4 - Implement A Custom Toolstrip For An App - Inherit Components?

Jul 1, 2010

I am new to Flex programming. I want to implement a custom toolstrip for an app. This tool strip will include a menu bar (or a customized equivalent) to display the common menu items such as File, Edit, etc as well as a search box. It should be flexible enough to include other menu items such as bookmarks, etc in the future. I have been thinking about mx:Group, s:BorderContainer, mx:HBox, but haven't been able to choose between them. And none of them seem espcially suited to my task as they merely specify layout of other objects. Is there any component which has direct support for such functionality. I have also thought about using mx:MenuBar but I don't know if it will be flexible enough to add non-menu items like search box.

Flex :: Air - Implement Multiple View Components?

Aug 30, 2011

I'm developing a Flex/AIR application that's growing big, and some of the components need to be seen from different points of view (i.e Admin, Staff, User, Guest). I've seen myself placing code in those components to handle what the user can and can't see. But it's becoming unmanageable as the code and the roles grow bigger. I was wondering what's the best way to implement multiple views inside the components while keeping them as reusable as possible.

What I'm doing right now:

<mx:HBox width="100%" horizontalAlign="right" visible="{_view == TS_VIEW || _view == PRJ_VIEW}"
includeInLayout="{_view == TS_VIEW || _view == PRJ_VIEW}">
<mx:Button label="Agregar" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"
enabled="{_state != ADDING_STATE && !_loading && _canAdd}"/>
</mx:HBox>

Flex :: How To Implement Effects On Components Creation Or Removal

Oct 2, 2010

I have multiple MXML custom components that I add on the fly (using a repeater) that is binded to an ArrayCollection. So everytime I add/remove item from the ArrayColleciton new items show/disappear from the screen. Is there a straightforward way to make item fade in when they get created and fade out when they are removed? I thought of using states and state transition effects but that will make things a bit complicated at different part of my application for those components to manage the states.

Flex :: Custom Components / Events And Scope

Apr 15, 2012

I'm trapping keyboard events on the stage and dispatching custom events through a framework (Mate, though I don't know that this is an important issue), but I'm pretty confused by the scope. The structure is:application (traps keyboard events and dispatches custom event mainPanel (receives dispatched events but mainCalendar (a child element) is null on debugging. Obviously if I try to call a public method on mainCalendar it errors out, even though it's a child of mainPanel. However, mainCalendar is NOT null IF I use FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.mainPanel.mainCalendar. Outerdocument and parentDocument do not expose mainCalendar either, BTW mainCalendar (a custom component inside mainPanel with public methods. Creation policy is 'all' and it's visible and exists long before I trap any keystrokes at the top level)Could someone take a minute and explain why the mainCalendar is out of scope when mainPanel receives a custom event, even though mainCalendar is a child of mainPanel. Is there a better way to manage the events so I don't have to always address the component via the topLevelApplication?

Flex - XMLListCollection Properties In Custom Components Always Null?

Dec 11, 2009

I've written the following custom component, SubNavBar.mxml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" height="100" width="300"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>

[Code]...

Whenever the trace function runs in init(), the property menuItems returns null. I don't seem to have this problem with other variable types, like Boolean or String. Is this due to the size of the XMLListCollection object? How can I set up this SubNavBar custom component with XMLListCollection property and bind it to a control in the component?

Flex :: Can't Inherit From Classes Defined In A RSL

Jun 24, 2010

Note: This is an Actionscript project, not a Flex project.

I have class A defined in an RSL (technically, it's an art asset that I made in the Flash IDE and exported for actionscript. The entire .FLA was then exported as a SWC/SWF).

I my main project I have class B, which inherits from class A. The project compiles fine, with no errors.

However, when when the project runs and I try to create an instance of Class B, I get a verify error. Creating an instance of Class A works just fine, however:

import com.foo.graphics.A; // defined in art.swf / art.swc
import com.foo.graphics.B; // defined locally, inherits from A
...
<load art.SWF at runtime>

Flex :: Inherit States With Mxml?

Oct 18, 2010

I have the following panel component called AdvancedPanel with controlBarContent:


<s:Panel>
<s:states>

[Code]....

Using the CustomAdvancedPanel inside an application component shows an empty panel with the "Go to edit" button. But when I click it, the "Extra edit button" becomes visible, but the "Show in edit" button inside the controlBar doesn't.

When the CustomAdvancedPanel is empty, without redeclared states and "Extra edit button" the panel works just fine.

I think it is because the State object declared in AdvancedPanel isn't the same as CustomAdvancedPanel, so the state is different, even if they have the same name. However. I can't use the states of AdvancedPanel inside CustomAdvancedPanel without (re)declare them in mxml.

Is there any way to achieve this kind of state-reuse? Or is there a better way to obtain the same result?
