I wanted to create a Flex LinkBar that looks similar to the iGoogle links. The links are expandable (one level-deep) by clicking on a plus button. I've considered styling a Tree or Accordion to get the desired look and feel. But before I spend time on one approach versus another, I thought to ask first. Does anyone know a component that I could use to achieve this? Or an example of someone doing a similar vertical navigation bar? It should only be one level deep and some parent nodes might not have children (doesn't expand).
I had display in link as follows. Three Links on left hand side ,two links on right hand Side and in between Some space has to be there. Please suggest how to do this. I have an idea's please suggest which is possible and the technical difficulties.For three Links i thought to put LinkBar and for the left hand side i thought two apply two LinkButton .Below the links I will place a canvas in that I will add viewstack for the LinkBar and VBox for the LinkButton when it is clicked.
I have a site that has multiple pages of similarly sized buttons. These are magazine covers. I'd like for the mag covers and links they point to (loaded swfs) to be dynamically loaded via a text file, if possible. The client always has new magazines she's been in and to manually load the newest buttons first is time consuming.
I'm working with a LinkBar component with a dataprovider that changes dynamically. Users can add and delete items from the LinkBar using an admin tool.
The problem is if the user adds many items in the LinkBar its width increases until it shows a scrollbar in my container.
I would like it to work so that when the user adds items, the LinkBar width is not changed but the height of the component increases instead and the additional buttons "wrap" around to another row.
I was able to set the text color of a selected LinkBar button by "disabledColor" style of LinkBar.Accordingly, I expect to set the background color of the selected button by "backgroundDisabledColor" style, however, it didn't work; and except "backgroundDisabledColor", I didn't see any other style that could possibly achieve this.
I have a LinkBar which is linked to a viewstack. However, as I change the fontsize of my LinkBar, when I run it, the font size does not change at all! I've tried changing the font using CSS and it doesnt change the font size!
I have created a linkbar with two labels. Now, I need to keep a track of the label clicks.i.e. If in the beginning "First" is clicked, the details will be displayed. After that, if without submitting the details, "Second" is clicked then an alert message should come to inform the user that "First is still in progress, do you want to cancel and begin Second operation". Vice-versa for Second to First transition. I need to know how to write events to keep track of which button clicked.
I've been working for a week on a very important task and learning (with Moock's book beside me) as I go. I'm trying to build a menu layout that functions a lot like an iGoogle page. Is this just a matter of a lack of syntax knowledge on my part or is this not possible? I can't find any examples of anything even close. I'm not sure which answer I'd prefer, but I'll take any insight that someone with more knowlege than me could offer
create a LinkBar with the width set to 100%, and put 4 LinkButtons on the left side, and the 5th button needs to be placed to the right side. At first, I was trying to put 2 LinkBar controls in a HBox, however, this seemed to corrupt the flex application and caused a blank screen. Then I tried to put a mx:Spacer in the dataProvider property of the linkbar, but it didn't work either, the spacer only spans about 1 character wide and didn't push the 5th button all the way to the right.
I am writing a Flex application for use on a private intranet with no external Internet access. I want to use Google's 3D Maps Flex API, but it must be connected to the internet to download map tiles on demand.
Is there a way to locally cache the 3D map tiles and data so that I can run this app without an internet connection? And if not, is there a 3D GIS that supports Flex integration and allows for a local map cache?
Is there any visual component in flex as used in Adobe Live Docs ( Yellow box that can be expanded or collapsed) at the bottom.I have uploaded the screenshot of that box too: [URL]I am looking for the same type of visual element/component in horizontal.
In HTML/CSS, if you float items, DIV's that exceed the width of the container are moved down 1 line.
I would like to achieve this in FLEX. I have 3 components with variable width. I would like for the 3rd component to be moved down when it doesnt fit the container any more.
Does anyone know of a simple way to implement a DividedBox layout similar to flex, but done through Flash/as3 ?
I would think there would be a library out there for that already, or some resources, but I'm having a hard time googling for it, as it;s either Flex or unrelated content I keep finding.
EDIT just came across yahoo's astra library (example)
is there a framework that is similar to Adobe Flex written in HTML5? My app currently support having multiple objects on the screen where user can drag / drop / resize and rotate them in scrapbook fashion. There are few animations as well. Flex makes it easy to build such apps. I was wondering if there is a good framework I can use to ease up such task maybe with HTML5 so it can be used on mobile devices.
I'm making an app where I have LinkButtons controlling aViewStack. In addition to the ViewStack they also fire offadditional functions. I have added event listeners for the
I am looking for a Flex datagrid component that has features like grouping, sorting, master/detail display, etc. I am having an application in C# that uses XtraGrid suite to achieve the required datagrid features. I am planning to migrate this application to Flex. If there is no flex component readily available with XtraGrid features, then I have to create one on my own
Now the last name form will only appear in the register screen. This would be really useful I think in .NET where you use the page for views like update / insert. I was considering extending the Page element to have a states property using extension methods, and adding the include in to controls. This way I could auto-hide controls based on the current view at render time.
What is even cooler in Flex, is that you can use different handlers / properties based on the current state.
I have an AdvancedDataGrid that's pretty wide (lots of columns that need to be wide enough to read) that I need to print. The PrintAdvancedDataGrid.sizeToPage property adjusts the height of the grid so that page breaks only occur between rows.
I'm looking for something similar for columns.
Here's a test case (main program, FlexBuilder 4.5)
[Code]...
When you run this and press the Print button, you'll see the grid printed across 4 pages. That's a good thing - in my real app, I need the grid that wide. My concern is that the page breaks are splitting columns in a very ugly way.
I am searching for a flex library for job scheduling. I know the Timer API, but this is not exactly what I am searching for. Here is (one of) my usecase for my AIR application:Try to ping to website xyz every 15 minutesEvery first monday of a month try connect to website abcdefgo I am searching for a library like quartz in java, just a small sweet library for executing cron(like) jobs.
I have a basic linkbar using a viewstack. For every entry into the viewstack an reference shows up on the linkbar. How do I remove the reference on the linkbar but still have access to the viewstack item?
I'm using a linkbar and viewstack. However, I don't want each viewstack item showing up on the linkbar, but I still have to navigate to the viewstack item.
I don't see any similar tutorial enable you to get the time position when the mouse cursor is on that hslider position, how do I make it possible like Youtube's feature? With this trick, my application would be perfect! Using Flex 4, I hope the code is not too difficult.
This is a bit of a crazy question, but does anyone out there know how to go about writing an extra compile step into the flex compiler. The idea would be that the MXML compiler would knock out the MXML to AS3 code as it does, but we have an extra step between the AS3 code and the bytecode.
The reason why I ask, is that this would be a great step to handle things like metadata tags to make code changes. A common practice in a lot of frameworks is to have an [Inject] tag before a variable. I.e. [Inject] public var user:IUser.
I'm trying to animate a list as I delete the top row. All the examples I can find use itemsChangeEffect to bind to the effect, but this property exists only in MX lists, not spark lists.
Any idea how I can get the same effect done in Spark Lists?
I'm trying to remove the top most item in the list with a slight fade out effect before the rest of the items move up to replace the gap.
