I'm trying to capture the redraw event for some MovieClip / Sprite objects that are in a Scroll area.Ideally, should be able to capture the event when Flash Player itself redraws the objects as can be seen with "Show Redraw Regions" in FP Debug.I've tried to use the Event.RENDER to capture this, but it even fires when the object is not visible / redrawn.
View 1 RepliesI'm doing SWF application which will run in browser. And I want to capture CTRL+F key pressing event when Flex application is in focus. In Firefox it works fine but in Opera and Safari browser captures event prior to Flex application and Find Dialog pop-ups. Is there any way for flex application to capture CTRL+F event prior browser?
View 3 RepliesI have a DataGrid, and what I would like to do, is when a user clicks on a row to select it, check a certain condition, and if it's met prevent the row from getting selected and keep the old selection intact.
View 1 RepliesI need to capture the event raised when a flash video ends. If possible, I'd like to distinguish this from a user clicking the stop button.
One thing to be made perfectly clear:
I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THE PRESENTATIONS OR THE SWF FILES.
What I'm looking for is simple (I thought) js automation of the client player object, not more complex interactivity with the presentation itself. I thought this would be really simple stuff, but a dozen Google and Bing searches later, I can't find anything about it.
I want to get the value of e.target inside the visual parent of a movieclip( ChildClass). in the following code.
public class ParentClass extends MovieClip
{
public function ParentClass()

I know the difference between the two, but I never felt the need to use the bubbling feature. If I want to listen to an event from a deeply nested children, I always use the capture phase. Could someone explain to me why I should rather use bubbling, its advantages, and maybe show me a situation in which bubbling would be the only solution?
View 5 RepliesIn Actionscript 3 is there any way to determine the precise display object hierarchy an event will traverse through when dispatched from a given object? The object is not necessarily a display object.Although I could imagine this actually being useful somehow, in my particular case it is a learning exercise. I'm trying to master the event system in flash and have some locations where I'm very curious what path an event will take when I dispatch it.
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I have an app w/ a login screen. When the user hits "enter", the state changes to "login" & a child component is triggered to load (though the child stays invisible at the moment). The child contains many functions that the user needs upon logging in (ie their screenname & settings are retrieved from a database). The following is included in 'Parent':
<local:comp id="localComp" includeIn="login" includeInLayout="false" visible="false"/>
<mx:Button label="login" click="currentState='login'"/>
<mx:Button label="logout" click="currentState='Default'"/>
My problem is when a user logs out (state changes to 'Default') & then logs back in (state changes back to 'login') the child doesn't get "triggered" again & the functions w/in the child don't reload. Is there a way to force my child to refresh?
Note: While it would be easier to just move the child's functions to the parent it is complex...I moved these functions to the child to make it easier to follow
UPDATE: I even tried adding an "exitState" to my state:
<s:State name="login" exitState="removeElement(localComp)" />
This doesn't work either, as I get an error: "RangeError: Index 0 is out of range."
UPDATE: Even though you are allowed to call a child's function from a parent, my problem is that the child needs to be "created" in order to not show errors. It makes no sense to me why the flex team would make something like removing & adding children so complicated.
I'm using a custom right click context menu for a flash app (overriding the default adobe menu). For this Uza's right click solution [URL] works well.
However, flash player plugin (for Firefox/Chrome etc) has a bug which breaks usage of international characters when its using WMode for the html embed. WMode="widnow" works.

The issue can be seen better here -

I need to capture the right click event fired from Flash player plugin to the web browser container without using WMode on the html embed tag (ie. WMode="window")
I have two columns: the left one is a Canvas containing an mx:Tree and the right one is a Canvas containing a Canvas (to allow for scrolling) of some custom Sprites that go along with the tree nodes on the left. I made the right Canvas scrollable (horizontal and vertical) and I want the vertical scroll to also scroll the left Canvas so that the tree nodes line up with their representations on the right. The scrolling portion works fine and when I embed with wmode="window" there are no problems. Unfortunately, the customer requires dynamic HTML to overlap the Flash at times and when using wmode="opaque" or "transparent", there are issues. The scrolling still works, per se, but Flash does not seem to redraw either Canvas appropriately. The Canvases become out of sync and artifacts often remain on the right side.I catch a scroll event on the right column and update the scroll position on the left column like so:
public function onTimelineScroll(scrollEvent:ScrollEvent):void {
leftColumn.verticalScrollPosition = rightColumn.verticalScrollPosition;
}

I have a problem with redrawing in flex 4. I have a spark titleWindow, and if i drag it faster, it looks like it's mask is one frame late after the component. it's easily visible with 1pixel thin border, because it becomes invisible even with slower movement.
You can try it here (what is not my page, but it's easier to show you here than uploading example):[URL]..
If you move in direction up, you see disappearing top border. in another directions it's not that sensitive as it has wide shadow, and it's not very visible on shadow. On my computer i see it on every spark TitleWindow i have found on google, although it's much less visible with less contrast skins, without borders or with shadows.
Suppose I have a component and want to change it's focus color at runtime. Here's an example for you (I've excluded any buttons and such to prevent component from losing it's focus, cause in that case it changes it's color perfectly):
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
private function init():void {
[Code].....
What do I want: How to make this focus to be redrawn without magic (I've tried all the methods, starting with "validate", I've tried calling updateDisplayList() on entire application, I've tried to call styleChanged .
I'm removing an UIComponent but parts of it last being visible. It redraws only when I move mouse around or something. I tried to do validateNow() on its parent, tried to do setTimeout(validateNow, 100) but it doesn't help. When I call it by setTimeout it seems these artifacts shown more rarely but it doesn't solve a problem in all cases. Please guide me someone to read about validateNow(), how it works and how to make these things correctly.
The code is below:
protected var bubble: SpeechBubble;
// creation
bubble = new SpeechBubble();

My flex application gets some parameters from URL when the application opens for the first time(ex: layout=<1,2,3,4> ). Based on layout(1,2,3,4) value I have to change the layout. However the problem is the application is already drawn(Layout is initialized) by the time the control reaches the point where it reads the values from the URL. I was wondering how can I redraw once I read the values from URL. Some thing like refresh.
View 1 RepliesI have a class linked to a library MovieClip. Several public instance variables in the class point to other DisplayObject's which are children of the class.Is Event.ACTIVATE the correct event to indicate that all ofthe children have been instantiated?

then i added the eventListener, pic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click,_doSomeThing );
private function _doSomeThing(e:MouseEvent):void{

but nothing happens,the complier doesn't report an error or warning something.then i created a wrapper Sprite object and add the pic to the wrapper object,made the wrapper object as the event dispatcher,then every thing works.As far as i know,DisplayObject is added to the stage,but why it doesn't work?
i'm creating a visual editor in flex and need to let users export thier projects into Image format. But i have one problem: size of the canvas is fixed and when user add element which is out of these sizes some scroll bars added. And user continue working on the project. but when he want to take snapshot of the canvas he just get the visible part ot the canvas with scrollbars. how to get image of the fullsize canvas?
The only solution i found is to check the positions and sizes of canvas child objects and rezise it to fit them. then take snap and resize back. But it hmmmm... too complicated i think. Is there some "easy methods"?

I've got a small action-script chart, that's meant to be live updating, and also be able to support more than 10000 points of data. The way it's currently set up it doesn't need to redraw the whole chart if the new line we wish to add doesn't extend that chart's boundaries. Yet it does, the redraw regions show the whole chart as being redrawn as opposed to the single line i need to add. When the chart gets a new piece of data from the javascript it does the following.(some stuff has been stripped for clarity.[code] Is there any better way to do that, that won't redraw the whole screen? Is my coding pattern wrong for this type of update?
View 1 RepliesIs there a simple way to force all the child components of a Flex app to redraw when that app is resized?
For instance, I have a HDividedBox with percentHeight and percentWidth set to 100. On the left hand side of the divided box is a data grid and on the right side is a number of text inputs. The divided box is not added to the view stack until after the user logs on.
If I resize the app before the HDividedBox is added then the box takes up the full size of the app, whatever that may be. However if i resize the app after the box appears then the box retains the same dimensions it does when it was first added.
I would have expected that on the resize of the app then all the children would redraw (the application component itself appears to).
I have a flash site that users can view full Screen video. the trouble is, I am making only the video player full screen (hiding the rest of the site behind it).
my "toggle full screen" button works in that it reduces the video player back to normal size when the user toggles out of full screen back.
but when the user hits the escape key, my flash script doesn't know that the video player should be reduced in size.
it seems there's no way to capture the ESCAPE key as a key event
this seems to be a simple task at beginning. I have a mygameboard object which inherited from spirit class. I added eventlistener and handler in the constructor. For some reason, the click event handler only receives some of the clicks when the mouse points to certain area of the mygameboard object. I have noticed that areas receiving mouse events are child textfield objects of mygameboard.instance. Putting this.mouseEnabled = true; in the constructor has no effect. How can I enable the whole display area of mygameboard receiving mouse events?

I have 2 questions: 1. What would be the event to capture the fact a scroll has taken place in a datagrid?

What is the proper OOP method of communicating between classes that are not on the display list?
For example: The Document class instantiates a new class just for loading in different XML files. This XmlLoading class should let the document class know when the xml has been loaded and parsed so that the interface can be built out.
From my understanding, events can only be listened to and dispatched through the display list, but since there is nothing visual with this xml loader, it doesn't make sense to me to make this class extend a sprite and add it as a child of the document class.
I'm writing a class that really doesn't need to be anything related to a displayObject. It's really more for organizational purposes, than anything else. It's there to handle 1 thing, and 1 thing only. However, I want to have it dispatch an event when it's done so that nothing gets ahead of itself, and I don't end up running functions before the SWF has finished setting itself up.
Simply using the ActionScript Code:
dispatchEvent(new Event("masterFinished",true));
Method isn't working, as the class is. I keep getting the:
PHP Code:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent.
However, if I change the class to extend Sprite, and then add it to the Stage as a displayObject, then it works just fine. Is there a way to get the class to dispatch an event without turning it into a displayObject or writing a custom EventDispatcher (I'm assuming the latter would work, but I'm not positive...).
I have been trying to find this on google for ages but can't seem to get a decent result, usually I find about the flash context menu.

View 1 RepliesI have few queries on Flash Media Server:
My Requirements 1. First requirement is to broadcast a live event through a website. So I need to develop an application to capture the event using a cam (I don't want to use Media Encoder) and I need to create a player for the web site.2. Second requirement is, in a webpage need to display the same live streaming event, also need to display another 8 live videos (which capture the webcam of 8 different users). Basically can I do multiple streaming how can I handle
Questions:a. Can I use Flash Media Server to meet the above requirements?b. I have a dedicated server for FMS and I have webhost for hosting the website. Since FMS and the web hosting are different server, will FMS communicate with the hosting server?c. What is the minimum config for the hosting server? Is it better to go for some Unmetered Servers?
