Flex :: Method Doesn't Work When Being Called On ParentDocument?
May 8, 2010
I wonder is anyone can look at this code and tell me why calling the removeSelectedChild works when called from the same document, but returns the following error when called from the child document/component.
"ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."
I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval
Code: ////////////////////////// /* IMPORTS AND INCLUDES */
So I'm doing this project for school and all, and I'm trying to do a htitest on an object. For some reason, it doesn't work. So I tried writing out my own method... Which halff worked, but wasn't as exact as it should've been.
Heres my code (Though I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with my MC, so i'll upload the main .fla file)
This movie is supposed to start on a random frame, but the code seems to get ignored in Firefox. I also have some weird behavior when i test it locally, but it works fine in IE8, Safari, and Chrome: [URL]
Here is the code:
i = Math.floor(Math.random()*3385); gotoAndPlay(i); //trace("Current Frame: "+this._currentframe);
I am using the below package to play back a wav file. In my main file I create several of these objects, put them in an array, and then try to call playBack().
Unfortunately it doesn't work. However, I can call playBack() from within the object, for example by having this object create a button.
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf. The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button "racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error
I would like to know the internals of that method, in other words what exactly happens when I call that method. If someone can explian it with a list 1,2,3... would be great. including events..
I have a drag and drop game. You listen to a sound for exampl "bread" You proceed to drag that mc to a box. If it is the right object I want to remove that mc and splice the array so it doesn't choose that object anymore. However I have notices two things.
When I splice(0) a specific element - then nothing works. When I splice the cuurent indexed element ie: the last element to get right - it doesn't actually remove it from the array. I have highlighted the key code parts.
I have an itemRenderer inside a dataGrid, and I am able to access variables on the mxml file (in a *.as script file referenced from the mxml) using parentDocument. However, I am unable to access a constant in the same script file. If I change the constant to a regular var, I can access it. I created a getter function for the constant and it works, but why can't the constant be accessed directly?
I have 3 files. 2 actionscript files and a html file.I want the image to show up at the 0 X coordinate.It shows up at a non-zero position in the browser (firefox 3.*) after I compile everything with flex SDK and run the html file. BUG with flex? The embedded png image is 1019 pixels wide.

I'm using Flashbuilder 4.6 and can't get sorting of columns in my s:DataGrid to work, clicking on the columns does nothing. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
I'm having a problem with the flash publish method and swfaddres.I've included the javascript of the flash pubblication in a new javascript file with the swfaddress in the same page.If i use swfobject for including my flash file in the swf, swfaddress works ok...if i include the swf with the flash method swfaddress doesn't work.Here the link: http:[url]......
I'm trying to implement a binding between some custom-built models and just beginning to dabble with the whole mx.binding.* collection. I tried this simple, stripped down example, but can't get the binding working correctly. Can somebody tell me where I'm going wrong?
In this code I'm creating a new window when I click the button. In the new window are TextInput and DropDownList components. When the new window opens, clicking the DropDownList does nothing - you have to click it a second time round to get it to open. However, click into the TextInput field first and then try opening the DropDownList works no problem.
When I run the resultant flash file on my remote server, it works 100% and test.text gets populated to "successful". However, when I run it on localhost test.text is still blank. If I check my network monitor in Flex, the httpservice was successful, so crossdomain.xml seems to be set right ...what am I doing wrong? I've been spinning my wheels for some time w/out a clue.
I have Flex 4.5 and in the main application, in the script tag I write:
import ominds.Firebug;
I use flash player WIN 10,1,85,3 Debug enabled. I export swf as 10.1.85 version.
And when I open the flashFirebug I get this: "No SWF files with the O-Minds package found, you should import the O-Minds package into your flash files. For more information visit: o-minds.com/products/flashfirebug"
recently I got a jagged image problem when scaling. I set my image components smoothBitmapContent true, and it works properly the first time, but if I reset the source, the images return jagged. It seems like the smoothBitmapContent property has been changed to false, but it doesn't work even if I set it to true in run time.Here's is my code:
See the simple application created below. I have a RichTextEditor and a RichText component.The idea is to display whatever typed in the RichTextEditor in the RichText component. Everything else (I think) works except for Bullets! The conversion works as if bullets doesn't exists!
I have a TextArea that shows the conversation from selected chat room. For valueCommit event I use: verticalScrollPosition = maxVerticalScrollPosition; And it works fine scrolling text to the bottom. However in one case it doesn't work as expected. There's verylittle text, so TextArea has no scrollbar and then I put a lot of text and a scrollbar is necessary. The text is scrolled almost to the bottom (still a few lines need to be scrolled down). I am pretty sure it gets maxVerticalScrollPosition as if there was no scrollbar. So the question is how can I wait with updating verticalScrollPosition with respect to TextArea's new size (that is now with a scrollbar). I tried calling validateSize and other methods that start with 'validate' but unfortunately with no luck. I also tried the old trick of putting caret at the end of text. So the TextArea's scrollbar makes a difference when getting maxVerticalScrollPosition and I need to update verticalScrollPosition once all measurements are done. I forgot to mention. I use htmlText.
look im facing a problem. I have .NET + Flex application. I have a component in Flex who uploads a .XLS file to the server. This component has a Progress Barand it updates its bar and the Label with the
I have a CustomTextInput component based on TextInput (Spark) component. The instance of this class is placed on a popup window (TitleWindow). How can I capture the popup move (dragging the title) event inside CustomTextInput implementation?
MoveEvent.MOVE event of the CustomTextInput itself doesn't work. Of course, I can't access the parent popup window inside the component implementation, because it's a common component that can be used not only on the popup windows.
I am having some trouble with my flash application not calling a web service when displaying through a web server.
When I open the html page that embeds the flash file in my browser directly from the hard drive i.e the absolute path to the file. The flash file loads up calls the web service and displays the value returned from the web service.
However, when I open the html page through the web server i.e through localhost the flash file also loads up, but it breaks when calling the web service...it is as if the web method isn't being called.
Is this a problem with flash or maybe the web server configuration? I have changed my flash global security settings and everything to include my testing folder.
i'm creating a reusable flex tree component. And i would like to stick in the itemclick funtion. So that when a user clicks anywhere on one of the tree's Branches. the branch expands.My problem is that i don't know how i can get the listener function to fire.What i would like to do is create the tree completely in as3. (no mxml). Normaly i set the itemClick on tree in the mxml. but i want to do this in as3. My component has alot more functions in it but i have deleted them so that it becomes easier to read. I Thought if i override the createChilderen function and add the eventlistener in there, that i would work. But no luck.
If I set the properties of "buttonMode" and "useHandCursor" to true in DataGrid, it does not work as I expect. Only if I move the cursor to the edge between two rows, the hand cursor displayes.
What I expect is that no matter where the cursor is moved, it should always show hand cursor.
