Flex :: Extending Panel : Calculating Title's Width In Custom Component?

May 28, 2011

I'm extending the Flex 3 panel component. I need to figure out the width of the title's text. Because, title is a private variable in panel, I can't access it via title.width.I know the font, fontsize (14), and length of the title (which will vary). Knowing this info is there a way to calculate how many pixels wide the title is?

Flex :: CommitProperties In A Custom Component Doesn't Work With Percent Width

Apr 1, 2011

I'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..

override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();

Flex :: Add Controls To The Title Bar Of A Panel?

Jul 8, 2010

I'm trying to implement a collapsible TitleWindow popup by adding a handle to the top right corner of a Panel control. Unfortunately, the image that I add as the handle doesn't show up when the control is drawn. I can trigger a redraw by changing the source of the image, so apparently it's there, but it's somehow hidden. Is there a way to make this Image control visible to the user?Here's the code for the window:

import mx.containers.Panel;

Bug With Embedding Fonts In Flex - Panel's Title Won't Show Up?

Nov 25, 2010

I face a curious bug as I try to set a fontstyle in a mx:Panel object in Flex.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Panel xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
layout="absolute" title="Test"

[Code]...

With this configuration, and once I have set the compiler properties in Eclipse for the compiler to use the Flash text engine for MX components, I can see the two labels of the Panel in the correct font and style ; but the Panel's title will not show up. Even if I add the "embedAsCff: false" line to my style .titleAssumed, the title refuses to show up.

Flex :: Calculating Spark TextArea Width?

Nov 3, 2010

I am treating a spark TextArea as text input(by setting heightInLines="1"). The TextArea is part of an mxml component and I want to resize the component when the text is changed.

I haven't been able to use textArea.measureaText(textArea.text) to get line metrics and use it. I get this error "Parameter antiAliasType must be non-null."

Is there any way to get the width of a TextArea which it is going to consume at runtime for a particular string or a particular TextFlow?

Flex :: Extending DataGridColumn For Custom Sorting Function

Aug 25, 2009

I extended the DataGridColumn because I wanted to include a custom itemToLabel function (to be able to show nested data in the DataGrid. See this question.

Anyways, it also needs a custom sorting function. So I have written the sorting function like so:

private function mySortCompareFunction(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int{
var currentData1:Object = obj1;
var currentData2:Object = obj2;

[Code].....

Whenever I try to sort the column, I get the error "Error: Find criteria must contain at least one sort field value."

When I debug and step through each step, I see that the first few times, the function is being called correctly, but towards the end, this error occurs.

Flex :: Custom Preloader - Extending Sprite To Load Animation SWF

I am following this page to create a custom preloader extending Sprite to load an animation SWF, but it is not working (the animation SWF is not displaying): [URL]. I know the Animation.swf file is okay, because if I load it into the main app it displays and runs. The preloader works if an image is loaded by the preloader instead of the animation SWF.
test.mxml (main app)

BTW, I typically have many more lines of ComboBox in the app to force the preloader to display, but limiting number of lines here.

Flex :: Extending Mxml Component With From Another Mxml Component With Visual Child Supported?

May 18, 2011

I've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.

What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?

if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 Disptaching Custom Event From Custom Component (why Flex Converting Custom Event To Mouseevent)?

Mar 2, 2012

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));

Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message

Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent

The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.

This is my custome event

package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

It's functions and containing components should be pretty standard, just like in regular login panel - FormItem, TextInput, Validators, etc. I did some research and found that it is possible to create skins using Fireworks, however this does not solve my problem because it does not allow me to manipulate with panel shape. What would be the best way to do it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can JE Accordion Panel Add Title Headers Without Images

Sep 4, 2008

I've been using Jumpeye Accordion Panel V3 at some projects and this time a client asked me to make one where he will add a list of projects and as time goes on he will add pictures for all or most of them. So, I need to know if there's a way (in the component itself or with a code snippet) to make the panel open only the titles that have a corresponding image entered in the external .xml file. Those that have no image shouldn't be clickable and shouldn't open a blank gap. Tried using a transparent 1x1 gif but it looks real bad as it opens a lot more than 1 pixel height

Flex :: Can't Show Rounded Corners On Custom Panel Skin?

Aug 12, 2011

I wanted to change the background color of my Panel title area and I discovered that I needed to create custom skin or skin extender to accomplish this. So I created a skin called myPanelSkin based upon the Spark.PanelSkin. My background color works fine but it will no longer show the cornerRadius defined either on the component or in a styleI then tried another approach and simply created a new skin as an exact copy of the Spark.PanelSkin. It also looses the cornerRadius.
