View 1 RepliesI am learning Flex and trying to make a simple RPG to practice. I am using view states to change between screens. right now I have a HomeView.mxml which displays my character information, InventoryView.mxml which shows my inventory items, and EquipmentView.mxml which shows the equipped items. They each have their respective view states.
in my main mxml file, i create a global variable for the character and an ArrayCollection of items in the game. it creates 2 labels in mxml for Inventory and Equipment and when i click on the label it calls a click handler which sets currentState="EquipmentView" or "InventoryView" This works and the state changes and the respective views are shown properly. My problem is in my EquipmentView state. When i enter the state the first time, it has a creationComplete function which displays images for my equipment and sets a click handler. when i click the item, it "unequips" it and removes it from the equipment list and removes the image. this also works fine, but when I go to my inventory view and "equip" an item and return to the EquipmentView, the image does not show. I have a label which counts the length of my equipmentList variable and that is accurate when i switch views, but i cant get the image to display again. Is there a way to call my displayEquippedItems() function (which is originally called on creationComplete) when the view is changed?

I've got a whole bunch of data being displayed in different Labels, now I'm adding an edit state. I'd like all the labels to "transform" into TextInputs. I was just wondering if it possible to uses states to change
View 1 RepliesI have a button with a click event of "currentState='someState'". Is there a way to tell component to do some function like for example "Function()" when the state changes to "someState"? So execute a function when the state is changed.
View 1 RepliesFollowing is a simplified version of my mxml:
[Code]...
"A term is undefined and has no properties..." which points me to the line this.parent.currentState='edit'.
I currently use: Flexglobals.toplevelapplication.component1.compnent2.currentState = 'something';is there a better way of doing do? Can I bind the state of a components to variable in my model?
View 2 RepliesI can do this:
<s:Button id="Btn" enabled.State1="false" />
But the following code is giving me an error.
private function enableDisable():void{
Btn.enabled.State1="false"; //Error: Access of undefined property State1
}
How to code enabled.State1 in ActionScript?
I want to implement this script: [URL]...that is doing this "magic [URL]
...but I want to tweak it a little on InfoWindowTabbedComponent. To be more precisely I`m trying to insert links in that tabs, and when you click one the state will change.
You can see my custom InfoWindowTabbedComponent at the end of the post As you can see, right now I have 2 functions that open url`s.
What I`m trying to do is to change this:
var adobeURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.microsoft.com" );
navigateToURL(adobeURL, "_self");
Into something that change the current state.
Here`s my custom InfoWindowTabbedComponent: [URL]
For my custom components, when they go from enabled to disabled or disabled to enabled, I want to trigger a custom event. I can't find any related events in the livedocs.
View 2 RepliesI don't know if this is too difficult or too easy. My custom component is trying to listen to the main application's state changes using StateChangeEvent.CURRENT_STATE_CHANGE, but it's reporting its own state changes.

Would like to do something like this:
<s:Button id="but1"/>

protected function button2_mouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
//make but1 look like I'm hovering it

I've found a very annoying problem with the itemRenderers in a DataGroup in flex 4, when I mouseout of the itemRenderer is returns to its default state. Here's an example:
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[code]....
When the user clicks on the button the VGroup is collapsed as expected, but then if a user moves their mouse out of the item renderer it then collapses, i.e. returns to its default state.
I have three columns and the default visible state of last column is false.My problem is how can I change the visible state of the certain cell while the mouse over any part of the row
------------------------------------------------
| column1 | column2 | column3 (invisible) | row1
| column1 | column2 | column3 (invisible) | row2
------------------------------------------------
how can I show the cell(row1,column3) while the mouse over any column of row1.
I would like the native Flex checkBox to change state only, when the box is clicked. If user clicks the label the state shouldn't change.
The click event cannot be muted as it is utilized in parenting components.
how to obtain such functionality? How to detect, that user has clicked the label?
I have one list, which the item render it`s like this:link. But now I need to enable or disable the button delete depends the view state which my List is inside. This is my view(which contains the list):

I have a custom component ExpandCollapseMenu that extends SkinnableContainer.This component can have state "normal" or "expanded".Inside this component I have buttons, with different skin based on ExpandCollapseMenu's state.This works fine when defining the buttons inside ExpandCollapsMenu's skin class:
<s:Group id="contentGroup" top="20" left="10" right="10" bottom="10">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>

I am learning Flex and have an image I would like to changed on mouseover, and switch to another state on click.I do not want to use any of the buttons available in Flex.Does anyone know th code to achiev what I want?
View 1 RepliesI want to use Adobe mxml to create a swf. However, the mxml gets compiled to swf itself and is not available after creating the swf. I want to add states with UI components without compiling it every-time.
View 1 RepliesI have a component with 2 states and I have added transitions for switching between the states, where 2 Move affects are applied to 2 different objects. This all works fine, however, after the transition from the first state to the second has completed the second state doesn not render correctly. It contains a TextInput control which is not visible, and a Button with a custom skin that is only sometimes visible and vanishes if you click on it. I have tried called invalidateDisplayList() and validateNow() after loading the second state but that has done nothing. I also have a VBox with a cornerRadius property set, strangely this does not seem to apply anymore and the corners are square, where they displayed correctly before I added the transition in.Here is the code for my states and their transitions:
<!-- different states of this component -->
<mx:states>
<s:State name="useForFree"[code].....
where the variables being set as masks are UIComponent instances where I have used their graphics property to draw a rectangle.
It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...
View 1 RepliesIn my air project i used current state size is width="441" height="358" . i have link button like Singin then move to singin state (currentstate='singin')
<mx:State name="signin">
<mx:SetProperty name="height" value="616"/>
<mx:SetProperty name="width" value="919"/>
So application resize into 616,919 . After that function finished move to current state like(currentstate='') But size not be changed . How can i set the size for current state?
I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.
Something like:
<s:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<s:Fade target="*" duration="500" />
</s:Transition>
In my view I have a welcome screen:
[Code]...
Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?
I have used states in my application.The thing is I have made the first item in my list to be selected. so I gave like this,
if(itemIndex == 0)
this.currentState="selected";
this works fine.The problem is when other item is selected the first item does not change its state,it remains in the selected state until its clicked.My code looks like this,
<s:BorderContainer id="outerCont" width="275" height="100" borderVisible="false"
backgroundColor.normal="#3D3C3C" backgroundAlpha.selected="0.1"
backgroundColor.selected="{data.color}">
My states are like this,
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="hovered" />[code]........

View 1 RepliesI would like to change the state of a flex button component with actionscript (on the fly) to present it as mouse-down/mouse-over/mouse-up, in order to use the css skining with out the existence of the mouse cursor. I tried to do this with button.currentState but this doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to change the state of a mouse using actions script. So if the user clicks and holds down the left mouse button MOUSE_DOWN is it possible for actionscript to change the mouse state to MOUSE_UP without the user releasing the mouse?
I have a MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, start);
but in the start function I would like to set the mouse state to MOUSE_UP even if the user holds down on the button.
function start ():void {
trace("You have pressed the mouse button");
//SET MOUSE TO MOUSE_UP
}

i have a datagrid which contained several items,when i click one row, a panel will show,however, if i have already selected one row and then click some blank place, this panel will also show because there is already a selecteditem,which will be a problem. Then i change this click event to change event, however, there will be another problem, which is if i click the same row, nothing will happend. so is there any better idea when i click a row, a panel shows and when i click the blank place, nothing happened.
