I am trying to add an item to a list and have text display and have a different hidden value when i access selected items. I also need to do this with a loop.
Currently i am trying to add a label and set the labels id to my value. But the list just shows the ID and not the text.
var theLabel:Label = new Label();
theLabel.id = "123";
theLabel.text = "test";
lstLayerList_array.addItem(theLabel);

I get the folder icon, never the label. I've tried numerous datasources, always the same thing. File, ajax call, text, it always fails.
In the code below I even set a custom handler and watch the XML come in, I set a static text label going out. Never anything shown. This happens without the label function and using labelField. Yes, I'm 100% sure the attribute matches. Again, tried with numerous different datasources.[code]...
I have a bar chart where I'm trying to get the data labels to show. When the values are all positive the data labels appear fine. When I mix in some negative values, the datalabels don't show:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

View 1 RepliesI am aware that the follow will show a hand cursor:
component.mouseChildren = true;
component.useHandCursor = true;
component.buttonMode = true;
When I do the above on a List component, the hand button is shown and the whole component loses it's interactivity (Hand cursor is shown even on scrollbars).
So how can I show the hand cursor only when rolling over the list items?
In a flex application how to display default selecteditem from the dataprovider of the combobox.
I'm using {staticdataholder.currencylist}.
For example: I have to show INDIA so it should be selected as default from the list.
In an application I have created (web) I need to list out my facebook friends within a canvas (or any container) along with their profile pictures.
I am using Flash Builder 4.5. I have also managed to set up AIR app (using the samples) so I am not sure if I am on the right track.
The requirement is :
When each user logs into the site his/her friends list should appear in the frame along with the friend's profile pictures.
I have an (empty) ArrayCollection that I wrap with a ListCollectionView. Then I add a series of items to the ArrayCollection, but these are not showing up in the view.
public var transactions : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var filteredTransactions : ListCollectionView = new ListCollectionView(transactions);
transactions contains 150 items, filteredTransactions contains none. I originally thought it was the filter I was applying, but even when I remove the filter, I still get no items in the filtered list.
Do I need to add the items to the view as well as the underlying collection (this would seem to defeat the purpose of using a view though...)?
I have a situation where I have a List showing a queue of Upload Objects:
[Code]...
I would like to create three different views of the List: One showing All uploads in the queue Another showing only the Upload items with Upload.type == "Update" and another showing only the items with Upload.type == "Create". Another example of this would be on an email inbox, where we could filter "All, unread, or read". I realise I could just create three different lists, one for each view of the list (maybe I'm just being picky) but I was wondering: Is there is any easy way to conditionally select the items to display from a DataProvider based on a parameter (for example type =="Upload") so I don't have to juggle three separate ArrayCollections about?
Flex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

View 2 RepliesI need to make a small app accessible to screen reader.I'm managing to make buttons accessible, but I would also like to have a section of text accessible by screen readers so that users can hear what the text says.
I can't seem to work out how to do this.. I've tried various text controls and set them as focusEnabled, tabEnabled, i've set the accessibility* attributes too but it never seems to work, I cannot tab to a text label and hear the content.
I'm honestly a little new to accessiblity in Flex so apologies if i'm missing something obvious.
I got very basic question. Why this is not working?!

How can the text in a Label control (or a similar control) be wrapped in Flex 4 beta? In Flex 3 I could use the Text control but this is no longer available in Flex 4.
View 1 RepliesIf I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.
I would like to be able to get rid of that space to where the text is completely flush to the top and bottom of the label. Changing the gap, padding, and leading didn't seem to help. Is it possible to get the text completely flush to the sides of a label?
Is there a way, for a Button's "label" field, to display text over several lines? Or else to automatically "wrap" the text in several lines instead of cutting part of it?

I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline. I want to arrange the label vertically so I need to know the height of the label so I can place the next label properly, but when I try to read this property, after the labels is added through the addElement mehtod, it returns 0.
how to get the label height?
i have created a group in run time and then added in it two buttons and one label
addElement (myGroup )

How can i change the text of label using this event.currentTarget. How can i target the label
I'm a new to Flex, and I'm trying to add a second label to a text box.
like this: Label [_______] label 2
So the first label will describe the text box and the second the unit, for example:
cost of cleaning [_______] $ per hour
Can I do this with a label inside the form item?
what I have tried looks like this:
mx:FormItem label="cost of cleaning">
<mx:TextInput id="proSRO2YO" text="" width="120" maxChars="20"/>
<mx:Label text="dollars per hour"/>
</mx:FormItem>
but that results in a second label one line below, I need these on the same line.

View 2 RepliesSuppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.
View 1 RepliesI have a button with variable-length of label text. I have a User Setting that can turn on or off the label text on this button.
How can I implement this?
NOTE: the button's background has a gradient color.
I tried using BlendMode.LAYER, no luck;
I tried using Button.resizeHandler
private function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
if (event.oldWidth > this.width)

but it only worked if the initial UserSetting value is true.
How about embedded font? I don't know how to apply it to button
