I have a prompt string to be displayed in my combobox - this needs to be displayed in italics. When user makes any selection from the list - i need to change the style of the displayed content.
My css file:
.promptStyle
{
fontStyle: italic;[code].....
I am able to see the style change happening because the color changes; but the change specific to textInputStyleName does not get applied.
I need to change the style/CSS/SKINs of all components when application run in browser or AIR? My application includes built-in and custom components.
View 1 RepliesI'm feeling overgoogled atm, but still can't find any solution. I have font "Futura" with "Condensed Medium" style, actually 4 styles - "Medium, Italic, Condensed Medium, Condensed ExtraBold". However, when I embed it at runtime, it embeds just "Medium" style of font.

In the follow Canvas, how do I change the property top at runtime?
<canvas top="10"/> I tried:
<canvas top="{ topVariable }"/>
But the binding doesn't seem to take effect. How can this be achieved?
I am kind of puzzled and not sure how to tackle this issue: Got two comboxes with dataproviders. Also, I created a separate index.as in /as folder. I have these two functions:
In my .mxml page, I have :
<mx:FormItem label="Property Code:" id="fi_propertyCode" width="100%">
<mx:ComboBox id="propertyCode" width="50%" dataProvider="{qry_communites}" change="showPropertyCode()" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Utility Type:" id="fi_utilityType" width="100%">
[Code] .....
I get an error saying
Access of undefined property utilityType.
The funny thing is I don't get this error for "propertyCode". Moreover, If I copy pasyte showUtilityType() function and put inside my .mxml page, I don't get this error either. Btw. I have :
....
In my .mxml page. What should I do? How can I get rid of this error? Why does Flex see propertyCode combobox but not utilityType combobox? I would rather keep index.as as it is.
Here is my code:
<mx:ComboBox prompt="" editable="true" dataProvider="{tableSelector.list}"/>
When this code executes, flex just sets the selectedIndex to 0 and displays the first item in the dataProvider instead of leaving the text and prompt as the empty string "". How do I get around this? I need the text property to be "" unless the user selects another item in the combobox.
I am trying to change the header color and the row color of the datagrid. Apparently, its not a spark component so can't apply skin on it.
View 3 RepliesI am using the combocheck example from the following site: [URL]
It's a very useful component and works very well.
Now, I need to set the text property of this combo box upon application startup with certain values (which are defined dynamically according to some criteria). The problem is that although I have no problem setting the text property of the combo box at other times of the application run, setting the property at startup seems to have no effect unfortunately.
For example, I want to set the text property of the combobox to "Bob" (which is one of the items in the dataprovider for the combobox) and the "set text" method is called on the combo box. Performing a step-through shows that the "set text" method is receiving the correct value item but not setting the _text property.
I have tried not doing anything until "ApplicationComplete" but no joy there either.
Here is the code (a combination of the code from the URL above and some other changes to it). However, as I've stated above, the codes does work. The problem is that it doesn't work at the application startup. Whenever an event is fired and setComboText is called as a result, the text of the combo box is set correctly.
private function onComboChecked(event:ComboCheckEvent):void {
var obj:Object=event.obj;
var index:int=selectedItems.getItemIndex(obj);

Can we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
View 1 RepliesUsing org.as3commons.reflect I can look-up the class name, and instantiate a class at runtime.I also have (non-working) code which invokes a method. However, I really want to set a property value. I'm not sure if properties are realized as methods internally in Flex.I have a Metadata class which stores 3 pieces of information: name, value, and type (all are strings).I want to be able to loop through an Array of Metadata objects and set the corresponding properties on the instantiated class.[code]I realize that I have to declare a dummy variable of the type I was to instantiate, or use the -inculde compiler directive. An unfortunate drawback of Flex.Also, right now there's code to account for typecasting the value to it's specified type.

View 1 Replieswell, I have a combobox which I have bind his selectedItem property to a value object object, like this
<fx:Binding source="styles_cb.selectedItem.toString()" destination="_uniform.style"/>

<mx:ComboBox x="66.15" y="63.85" editable="false" id="styles_cb" dataProvider="{config_xml.styles.style}" />
the value object is a custom class with some setters and getters, and I want to set a property based of the value of the selectedItem of the combo, so inside the value object I have something like this
[Bindable]
public function set style(value:String):void
{
_style = value;
trace(value);
}
my problem is that each time I change the combobox selection which in fact change the style property of the value object it does it 3 times, if I trace the value of the setter it actually do the trace 3 times, why?? how can I avoid this? I'm doing something wrong? or there is a better way to do it,
