Flex :: Assign The Property Bottom In My Custom Component Class?

May 14, 2010

I would like to know if it is the same to assign properties to my custom component in its own class, or from the parent document. Here I assign the property bottom in my custom component class:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:LinkButton bottom="20" >
<mx:Script>

Here I assign the property bottom when I use the component in my main MXML file

<myComp:Brick bottom="10"/>

Flex :: Flash - Can No Longer Assign Class Property Values

Nov 1, 2010

Given a dynamic or non-dynamic class like the following:
package {
public class MyClass {
public var myProperty:String;
public var myBooleanProperty:Boolean;
public function MyClass() {}
}}

Flex 3 allows you to assign a value to myProperty like this:
myClassInstance["myProperty"] = "myValue";
myClassInstance["myBooleanProperty"] = true;

I regularly parse XML to get property names and their values then update correlated classes using this technique; however, Flex 4 no longer allows assigning the boolean property. I don't have a work-around.

If you trace the results:
trace(myClassInstance.myProperty) // Returns "myValue"
trace(myClassInstance.myBooleanProperty) // Returns null

Flex :: Access A Custom Property In A Custom Class?

Jan 25, 2010

I couldn't work it out yet...

package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;

I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:

1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary

Which translates to:

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary

Flex 4 Custom Component - Notify Skin Of Property Changes?

Jan 30, 2012

I have a custom Flex 4+ component that I am trying to make and have the skin be aware of changes to a custom property. This property will determine the graphic on the button (and some other visual changes) but the data will change constantly as it will be updated by a timer.

I've looked at untold examples and still seem unable to get the syntax correct or discover how things should be separated. I've looked at overriding commitProperties and the PropertyChangeEvent without success. So I have two questions.

1) How can I get a skin to be notified of a bound property when it changes?

2) If the data for a bound property of the component is an object, will binding work properly if a property of the object changes (or would it be better to pass each property separately)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Flex Custom Component In Class

May 27, 2009

Our software team has been developing flash applications using AS3 (via the FlashDevelop IDE and the free Flex SDK). Recently, some members of the team started exploring FlexBuilder and Flex (wow... why did we wait so long?). The problem is that some folks continue to develop using pure Action Script 3 (FlashDevelop) while others are creating custom components in FlexBuilder. How do the AS3 developers use the Flex Custom components built in FlexBuilder in their AS3 Applications?

Flex :: Set The Dimensions Of A Custom Component Defined In A Class?

May 22, 2010

I'm trying to set the height of a vertical bar (activityBar) but it does not appear to do anything. i have tried something similar with the whole component, but setting the dimensions does nothing (even in the mxml used to instantiate the class). Indeed, I've added transparent graphics just to give the component some dimensions

FYI: I'm trying to create a mic activity bar that will respond to the mic by simply setting the height of the activityBar child (which seems to me to be more efficient than redrawing the graphics each time).

package components {
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class MicActivityBar extends UIComponent {

Unable To Bind To Property Of Custom Component

Feb 25, 2010

Can't seem to bind to data from within a custom component. I've tried BindUtilis and {} but can't seem to fathom it out. Here's what I've got:

I have a class DataModel which has been made bindable

Within Mainn.mxml I have two components: DataGrid (used for testing) & CustomComponent (which extends Canvas)

When the data within DataModel.somelist is updated the DataGrid reflects the changes but the CustomComponent doesn't appear to.

I was expecting to see the trace (CustomComponent.dataProvider) fired whenever this._dataModel.itemList is changed. [code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 Disptaching Custom Event From Custom Component (why Flex Converting Custom Event To Mouseevent)?

Mar 2, 2012

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));

Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message

Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent

The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.

This is my custome event

import flash.events.Event;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Property Of A Custom Component Through The GetChildByName Method

I have written a piece of code where I have created a custom class containing some of my custom properties.I have used multiple instances of this custom class in my main class and added it to a container.Now I need to access one of my custom property in the main class through container.getChildByName()."custom property", but I am not able to access my custom property using this.I get an error saying
Access of possibly undefined property orientation(this is my custom property) through a reference with static type ..name of my main class.

Flex :: Make A Custom Component Or Extend The List Component For A 2D Top Down View MAP ?

Nov 11, 2010

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?

or

I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.

UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.

*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.

Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

Flex :: Assign A Button's UpSkin Property With A Remote File Dynamically?

Mar 18, 2010

I am building a Flex application with ActionScript 3. Unfortunately I've hit a wall with this one...I would like to be able to apply an upSkin to my dynamically generated button like this:

//this theSkin variable is dynamic in my app, but for this example it's a simple string
var theSkin:String = "http://www.mypicturedomain.com/images/myimage.gif";
var navBtn:Button = new Button();
navBtn.id = "thumb1";

[code]....

When I attempt this, I get this error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@3dac941 to Class.

How do I skin this button with my image dynamically? A couple of things to consider:The upSkin image must be remote. It can't be local.The button must be generated dynamically (it's in a for loop).

Flex :: Define Custom 'contentGroups' In A Custom Flex 4 Component?

May 12, 2010

The spark panel component for example can be written like this

<Panel title="Skinny">
<child components ... />
<controlBarGroup>
<child control bar components ... />
</controlBarGroup>

[Code]...

The motivation here is that I can now create a couple different skin files to change the look and layout of those subgroups. Reading source of the spark panel, there are some calls within the mx_internal namespace such as getMXMLContent() which is a method of the spark group component, but which I have no access to.

Does the description above make sense? How can I create custom 'contentGroups' in my custom Flex4 component that can use nested mxml child components? Should I approach this a different way?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Class Inheritance And Property Accessibility

Jul 24, 2010

I'm having trouble accessing the variables of my main class from other class objects UNLESS the objects are extensions of the Sprite or MovieClip class, have been added to the display list as a child of the main class instance, and I am able to use the this.parent.variable syntax. What I'm wondering is, isn't it possible to have a simple Object declared and instantiated, residing in memory and able to access another object's properties, without it being a part of the display list? Am I doing something stupid here?

Let me explain the code a bit in case it's a design flaw on my part. (I'm still learning AS3 and am not completely fluent with it yet).

I have a project with about 15 custom classes. There are no frame scripts in the .fla file. I am using it basically as a library only. The document class (let's call it Calculator for this example) extends the Sprite class and specifies the properties for the SWF dynamically. All other classes are instantiated from this main class. I have a bunch of variables that I want accessible to the different classes, so to keep them in a central location, I have declared them in the Calculator class, and am trying to access them from the other object instances.

(It should be noted that there ARE animations that need to play at times, so I'm assuming I can't NOT extend the MovieClip or Sprite class when creating the document class.

For this example, let's say there's another class called XMLLoader.as, whos instance was created from within the Calculator class, that needs some information stored in the Calculator class' variables. Incredibly simplified code for the two classes might look like this:

Document class:

Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class Calculator extends Sprite {

[Code].....

So, in the code above (I've bolded the most important lines in red), the only way I have been successful at accessing the variables declared in the document class from other classes is to extend the MovieClip or Sprite class when I create the custom class, add the object as a child of the document class (Calculator), create a generic variable cast to the datatype of the document class, and use it to access the variables.

This seems really excessive to me, and I'm wondering if it is, or if this is simply a limitation of ActionScript. Does, for instance, a URLLoader object actually need to be associated with a MovieClip included in the display list in order to access internal variables of the main class object? Is it me, or is that really convoluted? Shouldn't it be able to exist in memory separate of the display list and still have access to varibles declared from the main timeline (i.e. the document class in this case)? Is there no other syntax for accessing these elements? Have I done something limiting with how I've designed this or declared the variables?

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4.5 Not Listening To Custom Event Dispatched In Custom Class?

Nov 4, 2011

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:

package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..

So to sum it all up:

- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.

- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.

Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.
