I need to add an UIComponent (Label for example) as a child on a canvas and I need to set it on-top (when user click on the label with the mouse, the target event will be the label and not the canvas)I'm sure flash has a solution for that but I can't find it on the net.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to resize a child canvas but I can't quite figure it out. I have a bunch of mini canvas' around a parent canvas like this:
<mx:Canvas width="10" height="10" backgroundColor="#040404" top="0" left="0" id="anchorTL" />
<mx:Canvas width="10" height="10" backgroundColor="#040404" right="0" top="0" id="anchorTR"

I have an application with a viewstack that contains all the components that need to be displayed. The navigation is defined in the main application. All the components are based on canvas. The main application looks like that:

Having read about Container creationPolicy (thanks all the references in StackOverflow)I have a TabNavigator and AS code in the initial Tab needs to reference components of second tab (a Canvas with multiple children).But the components of the second tab are null until that Tab is rendered.
According to the documentation as I read it, I should be able to set creationPolicy on the second tab/Canvas to "all"; the TabNavigator will instantiate all its top-level children, even with its multi-view creationPolicy="auto"; and I was hoping that when creating the child Tab/Canvas, that the creationPolicy="all" of that single-view Container would be honored.
But it appears that this is not the case; if the TabNavigator has creationPolicy="all" then the second Tab is populated (but so are the third, fourth, ...); but with "auto" the second Tab is created, but not populated, even though its creationPolicy="all".Is there a way to get just selected Tabs to pre-instantiate?
I've a custom component where I do some graphics (e.g draw a line) and dynamically add a subcomponent (e.g a label) to it.
If I base the component off Group (which is recommended as per docs since its a spark component) then when I dynamically add a label the graphics part disappears.
However if I base it off Canvas this doesn't happen.
Why is that the case?
Here is the code.
MyComponent.as
public class MyComponent extends Group
{
public var x1:int;

I want to dynamically create and put some Image (mx.controls.Image) objects on a Canvas and I want them then to be able to be repositioned by the user via the mouse. Can this be done? Note, I am not looking for drag and drop. I just want to change the X and Y coordinates of Images with the mouse.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to detect when the mouse leaves a canvas. I know about the MOUSE_LEAVE, but this seems to only be valid for the stage, not Canvas objects. P.S. I have tried the mous-out, but, for some reason, that event keeps getting triggered everytime I move the mouse. I should probably point out that I have used the Mouse.hide() and replaced the cursor with a custom cursor.
View 3 RepliesBasically 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 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]...
View 2 RepliesI have a Canvas(oldcanvas) whose child is a Panel [and is the only child].
Now i want to drag and drop that panel on to someother canvas(newcanvas).
But by using newcanvas.addChild(oldcanvas.getChild(0)) is not working.
I am able to add the complete oldcanvas to the newcanvas but not able to get the child i.e the panel inside that.
I got a square component inside a canvas which when clicked shows a glow effect-indicating selection-while clicking somewhere else this effect is removed-indicating deselection.The problem is that the canvas always dispatches the "deselect" event, even if the mouse if over the square.I worked around this by defining a circumstantial function which removes the child's width,height from the parent's "clickable" area.Is there a better way to tell the canvas to dispatch his event only if not over the child ?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to develeop a Graph Structure with drag and drop features in Flex. I have to connect various components/children on the canvas. Once i drag n drop the components on the canvas, i am using SystemManager event handlers to draw connectors between the components. But, as i click on one component and drag the mouse, the line is drawn on the canvas as long as my mouse stays only on the canvas. If the mouse moves over a component/child(that has been dragged and dropped onto the canvas), the line is drawn to the origin of the canvas from the first clicked component. How shud i recognize the component when i move my mouse over the component? I want the line to be drawn connecting the components once my mouseup event is called.

View 1 RepliesI have a Flash file below and I am wondering what is the best way to do clicking on multiple objects. I know it has something to do with a parent and it's children, but I'm still unsure. My current code for the parent movieclip is:
Code:
maskItems.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkMask);
function checkMask (e:MouseEvent):void {
if (e.currentTarget.tote) {
trace("hi");
}
}
That traces hi as long as the Parent is clicked, not the child. make all the children trace something if clicked?
I have a menu MovieClip that has its buttons inside of it. I have the menu with a MousEvent.CLICK and trying to figure a way to register what you are clicking on.
[Code]...
I have a movie clip viz. A. Inside that I have another movie clip viz. B. Now A has an event listener which returns its X, Y on mouse down, which in turn is used to magnify A taking those X,Y as the center point. B has its own event listener, one for changing color on mouse over and other to show a pop-up on mouse down.
Problem: When i click anywhere inside A, not covered by B, there is no problem fetching X,Y. But if i click on B, which is covering some area of A, it doesn't work. Simply because the event on B is probably not letting the event of parent to fire. Even if i write to fetch X,Y on mouse down of B, it returns its own X,Y and not of the parent, i.e. A. Because of this, the magnification doesn't work accurately in cases where child movie clip is obstructing an area of parent movie clip.
I need to to incorporate a functionality where the user can use his mouse to draw a rectangle by dragging his mouse over the canvas - much like the Rectangle Drawing Tool in the Flash Authoring environment. The requirement is something like a rubberband tool where the user can define a portion of a map by drawing a rectangle over it. The coordinates needs to be captured.

View 1 RepliesBasically I am dynamically calling product buttons, which on rollover invoke a child of a dropdown, which in turn invokes children which are squares filled with colour.What I need is for these squares to be clickable which will then colour something else using the colourMatrixFilter (I'll probably start another post for this problem at a later date).For some reason though adding the Square as a child to it's rightful parent - the dropdown makes the listeners completely useless. Add to the stage and the listeners work. I can't work out why either and have done loads of searching.[code] also if someone could show me in the right direction of pulling the XMLdata for the squares (which will be a name attribute).

I made a full screen flash site (100% width and height), and I was hoping I could scroll it simply with the wheel, even before clicking on the site. It seems it only works if I click first, then I can scroll as intended. Is there any way to avoid clicking first this? I tried embedding with and without SWFObject 2.2.
I think the root of the problem is that my flash does not have focus, and clicking gives that. Is there any way to give focus to it?
I am working on a menu that uses a number of these buttons: [URL]
The button works quite well, except that I would like the sub-menu to close up once the mouse clicks elsewhere on the screen. I have tried to find the Action Script for this but have been unsuccessful. What script can I use to cause the menu to close up when a user clicks outside of the button?
I've posted the fla file below.

2 swf loaded on top of each other and mouse not clicking on lower swf
how can i click on the lower swf. is there a way of letting the mouse drop past the top swf?
When I drag a button (say at the bottom), the mouse cursor jumps to the zero position of the button - that is, it's top left corner. What I'd really like is for the cursor to stay where it is, no matter where I click. I've tried storing the _xmouse and _ymouse positions on first click, but when I try to set those values with the ones I've stored, nothing happens. It's as if the xmouse fields are not being updated. Are they reado only?
View 1 Replieslooked at the tutorial in for text easing on mouse click i took out the mouse click funcion. now what do i do now? need some understanding. I take out the mouseclick function
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 600.4;
_y = 535.4;
[Code]....
I dont understand how i would change the OnClipEvent (enterFrame) code to make it move where i want to go.
How could i make it so you can choose which mouse you have by clicking a button
heres what i have

I thought it would work but it just hides the mouse (triangle is the mouse instance name)
I've written a lot of code, and I have a ton of onMouseDown clipEvents, but now I want to user just to be able to mouse over instead of clicking. Is there any code that will automatically activate all onMouseDown functions in your program?
View 7 RepliesI'm having trouble with a custom mouse cursor. In my script I replace the original mouse with a movie clip called hand like so:
Mouse.hide();
hand.x = stage.mouseX;
hand.y = stage.mouseY;
But when I go to click on something it uses the mouse's pointer still. I'd like to be able to drag with any part of my custom cursor(which is larger than a mouse).I've tried making a hit box that detects when the mouse is near the clip but it doesn't work onsistently(sometimes it just clicks like normal).Is there to make the clicking area of the mouse change?
I found this code but dont fully understand it, it is supposed to enable right mouse clicking and using flash studio pro by mdm u can remove the rioght hand click menu
PHP Code:

now does this code work in flash mx or is it ssomething to do with flash studio pro??
