I'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]...

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 RepliesApparently there's a problem with the nagivateToUrl function in Flex, namely that it tends to get blocked by the popup blockers in some browsers. A project I've recently joined is using a workaround for Firefox using browser sniffing, but a new feature would be a lot cleaner to implement if I could drop this. whether this problem still exists with current Firefox versions? What about Firefox 3.6?
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')

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 a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)
I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
View 1 RepliesI have created a module with 3 states as an itemrenderer. The states are called Movies, Songs and TvShows. The base state is empty. The itemRenderer consists of Hbox, Vboxes and labels.And I have created a List component.What I want to do is to populate data in my List component and make it visible using my ItemRenderer. Depending on the data that is pulled out from the database I want to show the itemRenderer's correct state. Hence if the record pulled out from the database is a song, I want to display the Song state, if it is a movie, I want to show the Movie state and so on.So depending on the data that's pulled out, I would like to change the current state of itemrenderer.
View 2 RepliesI have a button that animates when you rollover and animates when you roll off. Let's say it is my home button. But I don't know how or what code to have so that my home button stays paused or stopped at the end of my rollover animation when the movie clip page associated with the button is currently displayed. And then if I click on another button like the 'About Us' button to make the 'about us' page load, to have my home button stop being highlighted when the home page is not displayed anymore.
So far this is my button code:
home_mc.onRollOver = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_on");
} home_mc.onRollOut = function () {
home_mc.gotoAndPlay ("_over");
}
I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?
View 4 RepliesI have this code about navigation using movieclip buttons. I just made the currently selected button disabled when it is in the current page but I just cant figure out on how to maintain it in its hover state (It keeps on returning to its normal state).
Here's the code I've written on the first frame on the main timeline(scene1), I have 4 buttons namely mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4 and 4 labeled frames, page1, page2, page3 and page4.:
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];

I have an application with width/height of 100%. I have several nested groups within and their measurements are all not set, instead being defined as top=5 or left/right=10, etcI'm trying to get the actual with of a group that should be 390. I've set the swf object size to be 400 from the html embed code, and the group is inside another group that is width=100%. The group has a left=5 and right=5 so the width should be 400-10. When I display the .width and .measuredWidth of this group, the width is always 400.I'm fairly new to flex/flash. Do I need to have explicitly set widths in order to get the width of child containers? Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

in default state. I set my logo bottom="20" after the user click "enter" button. I want my logo move to top="20" But I found the logo didn't have move up transition. It just goto top instantly. I thought this is easy task. Would somebody tell me the trick?

I have a button at the start and end of a short timeline, it works fine. But when I add a simple MC to the up state of the button, flash gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at BtnWithMCinside_fla::MainTimeline/frame18() The 'mc within a button' method has worked great until that button is placed beyond the first frame. why this is happening and how to fix it?

View 4 RepliesI've had a good rummage around the interweb and can't seem to find any examples of a tri-state checkbox. It doesn't look to be supported in the SDK and I can't find any examples online.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a button skin, where i can set fillColors like in a Flex 3 button, using CSS. It was easy to set the color of the gradients, by reading them from the CSS: adding a few lines in updateDisplayList: fillGradient1.color = fillColors[0]; ...
How can i set the colors for the other states, from script? I tried adding fillGradient1.color.down = fillColors[2] and it's not working...

View 3 RepliesI was modifying the layout of a Flex application in Flex Builder. What I didn't realize was that the changes I made, were made for a particular state. There are around 6-7 states in my application. Now, I need those changes to be made to all of those states. How do I do it? As of now there are multiple lines like this in one state :
<mx:SetProperty target="{accno}" name="x" value="116"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{accno}" name="y" value="826"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{phone}" name="x" value="116"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{phone}" name="y" value="866"/>
