I am very new to flex and have trouble capturing the text change event of my text control:
<mx:Text id="description"
text=""
textAlign="center"
[code].....
i am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:
[Code]....
I managed to put the button and the label i want just the code i will write to make this work.
I have a Flex3 TextInput control, with white text on a black background. I would like to change the style of highlighted text within the control to use black text on a white background (or something similar). I would love to do this using Flex styles, however I'm comming up empty handed
View 2 RepliesWhat was the change in the textfield? I would want to compare the old text with the new text.the problem is, that I have multiple textAreas in a tab-editor, and all the textAreas are watched by one eventListener. I want to get a value calculated by the next formula[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm tracking how fast does the text of a textArea change. If it changes faster than 500 ms then i don't want to do anything, but if it doesn't change in 500 ms, i want to call a method.I tried like this:
public function textchangeListener(e : Event):void
{
if(((new Date).getTime() - changeTime)>500)[code].....
This method is the event handler for text change.But the problem is, if it changes only under 500 ms and after that it doesn't change, then my method won't be called. I make this for a better performance, so the prepareText() is called only when the user stops typing for 500 ms.
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.
View 1 RepliesI created a list control at runtime as following:
[Code]....
//Where myDataArray is an ArrayCollection consisting of my Custom ValueObjects. When i execute the code it displays my list with custom item renderer, which is fine. But when bring my mouse over it, it doesn't give any colour highlight which means it is not selecting. Secondly, when i click on any of the list item, it doesn't dispatch any change event. I tried a lot but couldn't understand it.
I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
I want to change the blinking text cursor color of Text Input in Flex 4... How can I change it ?
Is there any way to handle it, or it can be only controlled by Flash Player?
how do you change the text inside of a text control when a user has clicked a button. I could not find a way to do this. I used an event handler to input a .xml to a string and then to the text control. This doesn't seem to work.

View 8 RepliesI m using a dynamic text field in my app. I have added one Event.Change Listener on it. When I type into it with the keyboard, the event triggers. But when i set some text in it when user performs some action, like textfieldName.text = "test" then the event does not triggers. In this type of situation where we are not using keyboard, which listener should be added to text field to trigger the change event?

I need a control in Flex 3 that is like NumericStepper, but that can display arbitrary strings. Does this control exist?
For convenience, I'm calling this a TextStepper. I want this as a compact way to display a list of string choices that a user can cycle through by clicking the up/down buttons. Compact means no drop-down or pop-up aspects of the control: the only way to change the selected index is to click the up/down button (which updates the text input value). Value cycling means that I really want to treat the underlying dataProvider as a circular buffer. So up/down clicks modify selectedIndex in modulo fashion.
I have a BorderContainer that has an HTML element inside of it. The HTML has a control that isn't contained in a form.
It is possible to retrive text from the input element at a given moment?
I have one more script in that only mouse drag works i want also scroll works on mouse over event.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to center the title text on my Alert control. I'm using the following CSS right now:
mx|Alert{

The problem is that the above code centers my alert content as well, not just the title text. What selector do I need to access just the title of the alert control? I'm using the 4.x SDK and Spark.
