To show the complete list of available colors, one has to click the color box of ColorPicker control.How can the component be modified to forcefully always shown the colors list without any interaction from the user?
View 1 RepliesWe are rewriting our multiscreen game from Flex Project to ActionScript Mobile Project (root object is flash.display.Sprite and not spark.components.Application). Aim is to increase performance on tablets and have better overview what exactly is going on, what listeners are added and so. (I just don't trust Flex in this.). Do you know any alternative for DropDownList and/or DataGrid? I can't use MinimalComps, because there are little options to customize.
View 2 RepliesI have a dropdownlist of "Select an employee" which is optional. I need it to have "No one" at the top so that user can change back to NoOne if he' ve already chosen "John Someone".
My question is how to keep the prompt item, or add a dummy item at -1 without changing the dataprovider (I really hate adding "No one" to the original employeeList dataprovider)

Flex 4 Drop Down List - bound with data service, how to always keep prompt or add item at index -1 programmatically
Flex is so tricky to style.
I have a combobox, when I arrow up and down over a select it has a background color, how do I change this color. This should be easy.
I seem to have is that the Autocomplete component that seems to be part of flex extras is not displaying the list of items in the dropdown list. Basically, I get a list of blank items. I know they are there and they are the right items because as soon as I click on one, I get the right text in the combobox.
my Code in the mxml looks something like this
<mx:FormItem label="Company:" width="750" fontSize="20" horizontalAlign="right" color="#000000" required="true">
<ns1:AutoComplete enabled="true" labelField="CompanyName" textAlign="left" dropdownWidth="450" id="txtCompany" width="450" />
[Code]....
Again, when I type "T" in the text box I see a dropdown list with 3 empty items. Clicking on the third item puts "Test3" in the textbox. But the items themselves are not visible.
It almost as if its a font/foreground color thing, but I've played around with some of those settings too with no success.
I'm working on a sort of AutoComplete component and faced one problem. When you create a new instance of a component, fill it with data - everything seems to be ok. When user types a letter in the inputField (and filter accepts one or few records) - everything goes alright, BUT if the first time user types a wrong letter (filter returned 0 records) - I'm getting a null-pointer exception.
This component is based on ComboBox. I have some thoughts about that: I suppose that the dropdown is not being created at time, any ideas on how to force my autoComplete to create it? I know 1 way - copy/paste some incapsulated code from ComboBox class .. but it would be too many of it .. I'm looking for a better solution.

View 1 RepliesI am having two panels with separate colorpickers in them. If i select a particular color in the colorpicker, then the border of that panel should change to that color. I am able to do this perfectly but, since i have written the same code for both colorpickers, when i select the other colorpicker the previous panel color is coming to the normal color i.e. default panel color.
If i want the panels to retain the color even after selecting the other colorpicker what should i do... I am using event.CHANGE on colorpicker and setting the style of borderColor for the panel.
I am trying to set selectedColor of the colorPicker component to the color of a TextFormat. colorPicker.selectedColor is of type uint and TextFormat.color of type object. I looked around and found this function:
Code:
function fixColorCode( color:Object, hasAlpha:Boolean = false ):uint
{
if( color is String ){
var pattern:RegExp = /#/;
[code]....
The last line returns the following error: "1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Number."
I'm creating a text editor and I want users to be able to select only part of a textfield and change the color.The problem I'm running into is the ColorPicker gains focus (I'm guessing) and the textfield loses it's "selection."All examples of text editing show the entire textfield changing color.

I'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?
I'm building a multiplayer game which when connecting to the server, the server sends back a list of available rooms (each room has MaxPlayers,MinRank,TableId,TableName,Password) so everytime I recieve these 5 strings, I create an instance of Mxml UI Component I have created and fill it with the relevant details. In the main.MXML i've added an AS3 script variable to hold the GameInstances object i've created when rcvd data back from the server: private var gameInstances:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); GameInstance.mxml is a component that has UI components in it and AS3 script to set some data.

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.

How do I change the background color of the item I'm currently hovering over in a list? The default is that light blue, but I would like to be able to change it to whatever I want. I've gone through the list of available options, but I didn't see anything that stuck out at me.
I'm sure this is ridiculously simple, I just can't seem to figure it out.

View 2 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?

I am building a flash banner ad that contains a dropdown list of US states. Once the list is clicked I want to pass the state code onto the end of the url for the ad.I used to be ok with actionscript but it was several years ago, and I'm wondering if its possible to have the ad grab the URL from the parent <a href> and just tack the state code onto it.I assume this is how clickTags work?[code]Can anyone offer any tips on how best to do this? I'm fine with building the actual ad, its just I'm not sure if I need to hard code 50 urls into my dropdown? It seems a bad way of doing things, and I'm sure theres a better way?

I want to get rid of the typical Flex roll-over color in list-based components, and to display my own style of roll-over rendering. Setting useRollOver to 'false' is not an option, since disabling that will also make the List.isItemHighlighted() function to always return false. My custom renderer relies on that function. Can it be so hard? Is there no way of setting that roll-over color to transparent? Is there some other way for my renderer to figure out if an item is highlighted?
View 3 RepliesI 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'd like to display tool tips, once the user holds his mouse on an item of an opened combobox.Ifyou open the drop down list of a combo box, you'll see a list ofelements/items. Each of them can be accessed e.g. viamyCombo.getItemAt(0) .To me it seems I only get an object with adata and label property. But I think there must be more to it, becausewhen you hold your mouse over a sub-element, it'll be highlighted. Thismeans that there is some event listener on that very single item. Sohow can I do this?[code]
View 3 RepliesI 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?
IS there a way with flashes combo box to change the value without selecting one from the dropdown list.I tried [code]
