How to get focus for a disabled flex control. When a flex control is set with enable=false ,the control is not focusable and hence is not read by a screen reader. When a user tab's it should also go to the disabled controls.
View 1 RepliesI'm displaying a list of buttons, some of which might be disabled. I need to show a tooltip on the disabled buttons with an explanation of why it's disabled, but it seems I can't disable the button without disabling the tooltip. Is there a simple way around this?
View 3 RepliesI need to make part of a flex skin non-focusable/non-clickable, i.e. so that when the mouse clicks that part of the button, it doesn't actually get clicked. Basically, I want that part to be a shadow or highlight or background or whatever you'd like to call it.It's done somehow with drop shadows but I want to have finer control than using filters.Example code:
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" >
<fx:Metadata>
[code].....
I want to show rich text in dropdown control, for which I am using the following renderer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"[code]...
The renderer shows html text properly in the drop down list, but in the top most option (selected item) the whole HTML tag is shown instead of what the tag represents.
I'm making a VERY basic Jeopardy game, and I need buttons to be disabled after being clicked on once.
Oh, and I'm working in CS3, but I'm using AS 1&2 because that's what I learned... I have no idea how to use AS 3...
example: frame 1 has btn11 in it. btn11 when clicked takes the person to frame 2. when done with frame 2, they click on return.
the return button (btnReturn1) has the following AS
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Round1",1)
btn11.enabled=false;
}
the problem is that it works at first - the button disables when I get back to frame 1, but the next time I click a different button then return to frame 1, the first button I disabled isn't disabled anymore.
my actionscript so that my disabled buttons stay that way no matter how many times I come and go from the frame? or if you have a better way to do it, that'd be great. basically, it's like the jeopardy screen, and after "songs" for 200 is clicked, I don't want it to be clickable again at all.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

View 8 RepliesI'm making a trivia in an Air application, a question, three buttons, after you choose one, the right button gets coloured green, the wrong ones get coloured red. I was trying to do this changing the styles, so I created a Button.Right and a Button.Wrong style, but I also need to disable the buttons so they don't get clicked more than once while I'm showing the correct answers.
So I'm having trouble making it so the buttons don't look greyish and with the alpha turned down when I set their enabled property to false. I'm trying to be as minimalistic as possible here, changing disabled-overlay-alpha or disabledOverlayAlpha in the css file doesn't seem to do the trick, neither does changing disabledBorderColor
I'm trying to integrate Seam and Flex with GraniteDS, with the goal of implemenenting a code generation tool for main use cases of CRUD operations.One of my needs is to have the possibility to generate a combo box to reference a parent entity from another. For example, a state combo box in my county edition/creation screen.

Is there a way in Flex by which a disabled canvas looks exactly the same as an enabled canvas? I haven't been able to make sense of disabledOverLayAlpha and disabledColor properties for a Canvas component.

View 2 RepliesIn Actionscript 3 I see that if I press the "8" key (from the numpad) I got the result of keyCode of the numpad key "8", but when I disable the "Num Lock" and press the numpad key "8", the event I receive the keyCode of the Up Arrow key...
How to difference between the keys of the numpad (with Num Lock disabled) and the original keys, such as the Arrows, End, Insert, Delete and so on?
I've tried using the keyLocation property of the event, the value of that property is 0 for the arrows and 3 for the numpad, but when the Num Lock is disabled the value for the 4, 6, 2 and 8 in the numpad are 0, so I can't difference between the numbers with numpad disabled and the Arrow keys.
Also the numLock property of the Keyboard class didn't work, because I can't know if I press the Up Arrow or the 8 whit Num Lock disabled (because they trigger the same event, or I think that)
I have a CSS file containing the following definition :

Now, I want to use the disabled-skin defined in the CSS, as the upSkin of b1. So something like b1.setStyle("upSkin","Tab.disabled-skin"); But I am struggling with the exact syntax of the second argument for setStyle. What should I use for the second argument for setStyle method?
I've got a problem while migrating my TabNavigator from Flex 3 to Flex 4.5. Stripped to the bare minimum, the following code will produce the bug, namely that the second child of the TabNavigator fails to be created properly:

Is this really a Flex bug, or is there something I'm missing? I'm using Flex 4.5.0.20967, and all of this worked well in Flex 3.5.
In my flex application I have several pop ups, when a pop up is opened the application is disabled and enabled back when the pop up is closed.Is there way to get application's enabled / disabled event and perform some activity like hiding a display object.I know, I can get open and close event of the pop up but I don't want to write it for all the pop ups and pay for maintainability.
PS: I am using PopUpManager to create pop ups.
I attempted to build a Flex 4 skin for a Spark button, typical practice. I adjusted the colors and other styles to my liking, including using dot selectors to specify alternate colors and such during different states. However, these are all ignored when the button is disabled. Regardless of what I do, in the disabled state, my button always has the wrong color and is alpha'd to 0.5 (even if I specifically state that alpha.disabled="1"). All the other skin states work as expected. This is my custom skin. If it were working correctly, it would appear to have no shadow or highlight, and would be a gradient grey color. Instead, it appears as a 50% alpha version of the up state (shiny green).

This is the code used to create and then disable the button:
_action1Button = new Action1Button();
view.actionGroup.addElement(_action1Button);
_action1Button.enabled = false;
The error was that _action1Button is not the actual button, rather, it's the container of the button. Doh! Switching it to _action1Button.actionButton.enabled = false; fixed the issue.
I have a vertical tab-bar with 4 items with different sub tabs. All the four items use data from a single xml file, which is a big file. When the user clicks on a tab, while the data is being loaded this error is shown. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I want to disable all the tabs while the xml file is being loaded.

View 2 RepliesI have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
