Flex :: Adding Components To CoverFlow?
Jun 26, 2009
I'm working with the CoverFlow library by Doug McCune.
In the example included, he has created some panels inside a CoverFlowContainer. There are other examples of him populating the coverflow from an RSS feed on the page linked above but he doesn't include the source for these :(
I will eventually be retrieving data from a web service to add to the coverflow however I'm starting with this simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" xmlns:containers="com.dougmccune.containers.*" creationComplete="init()">
[Code]....
I've defined some panels in the mxml and set creationComplete=init() so that the new panel I've created in ActionScript will be added to the CoverFlow container.
When I launch the application it displays the two predefined panels but not the one I have created in ActionScript.

I have a dozen different custom components in my flex app. I want to use an external xml config file to load the components at run-tine. Can someone tell me whats the best way to architect this? I want to load these components and add dataProviders and event liseners to them at runtime.

I've been adding some components to a Flex 4 app (it was originally Flex 3 but has been ported). Some of these components make the app go blank when it loads. I'm not even able to see the loading progress bar. Just white.
For example, adding
<s:controlBarContent>
<s:Button label="Admin" />
</s:controlBarContent>
To the root tag causes this. I also was able to make it happen when I tried setting a custom components skin from my style sheet instead of from the skinClass property.

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 am created a dynamically adding a VBox, that contains two images. Into a Custom Component that is derived from UIComponent. The problem is the Vbox that contains the two image is only a really tiny size. I would like the VBox stretch to the size of the two images. This is how I am creating the Vbox....

Is it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?

I'm working on a pure ActionScript 3 AIR app, which is my first all AS3 AIR app. One thing I'm having a problem with is adding components to the app so I can see them, here is an example of the code I'm running:
public class iPhoneAIRApp_demo1 extends Sprite
{
protected var context:PhoneAppContext;
[Code]....
but when I run this example I don't see anything.
I guess that using Flex has made it easy for me where I can just drag components to the design view and Flex does the back ground work to add the component to the stage.
What is the process for adding visual elements to a pure AS3 project?

I am trying to ape the MS Paint application in Flash. I have a small point that I want to get cleared. I want to set the thickness of the line that I am drawing.I want to add a numeric stepper to stage dynamically. Only when I click on option to draw line the numeric stepper must appear on stage. It must be removed when I select another component.How can I add it at runtime. I got tutorials and references in which the stepper is always there on the stage. But I want it only when I want to draw the line.

Has anyone come across any tutorials or components that can create the iTunes Coverflow effect BUT with movie clips instead of images. I want to use it to display survey questions and be able to interact with each 'page' if only in a limited way ie click a tick box to record a score.

Does anyone know of a site / tutorial / reference that shows how to do the coverflow image gallery using Flashvars without XML? I want to create something like this[url]...
..but everything I've found uses an XML file to feed in the variable and parameter information. I need to feed this info in using flashvars and javascript from the html file only. I've tried modifying the ones using XML on my own but it gets to be too confusing on how to change everything when so much information--usually all the variables AND animation effect parameters--are being called from the XML.

I am trying to find a menu to implement in the form of a coverflow. I have one accessible but flipping through the covers requires that I click covers, or use the scroll bar.
I am looking for one that will move left and right without requiring clicking. Dragging is probably acceptable. I have been sifting through the google search results, but it seems most coverflows are modeled the same. It doesn't need to be free, but if I could customize it via XML that'd be great.

I'm using flash coverflow from here [URL]. My XML contains a large amount of images which really slow the smoothness of the slideshow down as I have it autmatically scrolling through image by image. I was wondering if there is a way to preload the images from XML in as part of the general preloader? I've seen other threads on preloading from XML this way but I am not sure how to incorporate the code they suggest into the existing actionscript I have.

I've been asked to incorporate a cover flow into a project I'm working on. Although there are many components available I've been asked for it to loop round i.e. the slideshow has no left and right end, when the last item in the XML is reached it seamlessly keeps scrolling by going back to the start of the array. Does anyone know of a coverflow component with this function?

I am trying to edit this CoverFlow made in flash, however I do not have enough ActionScript / Flash knowledge to do what I need to do.
The CoveFlow currently uses a scroll-bar for navigation and a XML file for the images and text.
I have successfully been able to remove the scroll bar, but cannot build the buttons to replace it. From my understanding, I need flash to have a button variable stored, then detect how many CoverFlow slides there is in the XML file, assign and create a button for each slide. And then position the buttons bellow the image slides in a horizontal line.
As you can see the buttons needed are pretty basic, just blue circles. However the ActionScript modifications needed to achieve this are beyond my ability.
Also attached is a .zip with the CoverFlow files that I am having trouble modifying.

I'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?

I'd like to make a series of components into a solid, consistently repeatable object. For example, suppose I have a "notification" template that I want to add to a notifications area every time something new happens. This template includes an icon (Image), text (label), and some space between these two things.
I want to take a template like that and make it so I can invoke it with a function like add_notification("icon", "text"). How would I go about doing that?

What is the right way for integrating a Flash component into a Flex application? I heard that there are different ways of integration between Flash and Flex: using SWF, using SWC (something else?). What are theirs pros and cons? What are the points of communication between them Flash and Flex? `I'm using Flash Builder 4 for developing Flex. And Flash Professional CS 5 for developing Flash.
