Flex :: Add A Container To Canvas In It Using Action Script?
Oct 21, 2010
I am trying to add a container having some UI components as child in it to a canvas and also want to set the border size only using the action script without MXML,
1) is it possible to add the container that is a lower class in hierarchy from parent to child upward, can canvas addchild() accepts the container as child ?
2) how to set the border of both the canvas and the container ?
i need to do this in action script i have tried but nothing comes out here is the [code]...
I'm having a serious issue when trying to display a FlareCanvas within my application. It simply doesn't respect the bounds (see image here)
I've tried "clipContent" and a bunch of alternatives but nothing seems to prevent the canvas of being "passing" over its container. What should I do? It is taking me several weeks!
I want to dynamically add different items to thumbContent canvas and use scroller canvas to scroll. I see than the height of thumbContent bigger than 7977 it truncate from scrolling. So - I see the scroller canvas with empty space on top. Then I scroll to bottom - I see the content of thumbContent and at bottom scrolling I see empty space too.
I'm trying to skin a canvas with an image (which is essentially a custom border for the canvas). I've been trying the backgroundImage style as well as the borderSkin style. I can't get the image to scale to the full size of the canvas though. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is.[code]...
In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){ // simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel // otherwise the panel has no content
[Code]....
The error I get is: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property panel4.4 not found on components.readTest and there is no default value.
I have tried setting the "name" property instead of the "id" property.
I am creating an flex Air project,so mxml file will run. I have circles in one Big circle at one side and will be same on other side.
Now how to drag any circle from any Big circle to other side. Or it could be like any two container having circles, then how to drag and drop circle?
For one circle i am able to do drag and drop.But I want one Big circle on left hand side and one big circle on right hand side .And small circles with class names will be in these big circles.Now i want to drag and drop those small circles in big circles.Big cicles should not move. Even i have tried this code in actionscript
I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.
Flex charts, like AreaChart, have wonderful built-in support for displaying data "tool tips" when a user hovers over a point supplied in the data of a graph. You can hover over any of the bar graph examples on this page for a demonstration. I have a graph situation where I optionally draw in some dots as reference points on CartesianDataCanvases supplied to my AreaChart through it's <mx:annotationElements> and <mx:backgroundElements> tags.
I would like to have the same hover data-tip functionality that the AreaChart has, but applied to these dots. I realize that I am just drawing on canvas, and that no actual dataProvider supports these dots, but if there was a way to supply the CartesianDataCanvas with an array of data values or something to that effect,
I'm developing an engine to generate components.I been wanting to get my xml script that read and create a component to be load into 'content' canvas. I not sure how do I get the addChild work correctly as in 'content'.addChild instead of the one shown below:[code]
The basis for the chat window is a canvas. I've got that showing, but how do I make it scroll up? I want to clip the window so only the last 15 lines are shown.[code]...
My code above works absolutely fine, until i resize my browser window to a size below 800px width. When the browser window is make of lesser width than 800px, the canvas with background color #A8A8A8 is on the right of the window, but the problem is, when I move the scroll bar, the canvas should remain on the right of the window. Which does not happen, and that is what my problem is.
How can I solve this issue. What should I do to keep my canvas be on the right=0 all the time.
I'm trying to write some code to an animated images of squares on a Flex Canvas There's something wrong with my code below because it becomes progressively slowerI assume I'm supposed to clear the old squares or something.What am I doing wrong below?:
Basically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?
i am required to zoom a canvas through Hslider. The problem is after zooming the canvas i cannot scroll to the extreme left and top of the canvas i.e some part of left and top canvas are not visible. i cannot find the reason. The source code for the example is given below.
Is there a way in Flex by which a disabled canvas looks exactly the same as an enabled canvas? I haven't been able to make sense of disabledOverLayAlpha and disabledColor properties for a Canvas component.
a .fla is 500 x 300. Inside, content moves OUT of the 500 x 300 stage so that it appears like it hides or moves off of the screen. .fla complied... loaded into Flex via SWFLoader:
So on the focus change i want to run the "end_preview_on_focus_change()" but this is not working. As per my understanding, i think the canvas not getting any focus in the first place. I was trying to use focusManager.setFocus to do that after the canvas's creation complete. but even that is giving me an error.
I'm trying to create a custom tab navigator that has to look like. Also, when there's a rollover, the borders of the arrow have to be in blue (like the label in the current tab). For that purpose, I've created a custom component: a hbox containing a label and a canvas with 3 images inside (for the arrow tip that has to change depending on the currentState). Then, I thought of overlapping the components in order to get the blue highlight color (ex: arrow button 3 is over arrow button 4. The image of the arrow tip in button 3 will be transparent outside the arrow, so that we can see the black color of the following button).
I'm now trying to position the components inside the canvas ... but I cannot. After the creationComplete event, I assign the label text and I was calculating the coordonates of the component but it doesn't take into account the label width... -_-'
i am trying to add a uicomponent which contains an object of a custom class the extends UIcomponents and i want to display this uicomponent to canvas i have done no error compile or run time but it does not display the Uicomponent.

add childs to canvas. I want to add childs to canvas in top-down direction and left-right direction? I'm using the addChild function but I don't want to calculate the X and the Y for each Item. is there a way to do that?
I'm trying to draw lines on a canvas object. When the width of the Canvas is less that the width of the line, it draws outside the Canvas over other elements. I read about this problem and I try to resolve using a inner Canvas with a longer height so a scrollbar appears.But I also read that this problem can be correct using a mask but I do not know what is the better way. Which do you recommend?
I'm trying to draw a String inside a canvas. The text and the position of the String changes pressing differents bottoms. For doing so, I create TextFields which I added to a sprite which I added to a Canvas:
canvas.rawChildren.addChild(spriteNombres);
The first time everything works fine but when I press the bottoms,it does not refresh and appear the old textfields and the new ones.I cant remove the old ones, I try with removeAllChildren and also trying to delete one by one with removeChildrenAt. I do not know if I'm doing something wrong or maybe this is not the best way.
I also try creating bitmapdata and drawing in the sprite inside a rectangle.
var channelName: TextField = new TextField(); channelName.text = channelNames[displaySequence[channel]]; if (channelName.text != null) {
