I'm drawing an arrow as a <s:Path> and I need to get notified when the mouse is over it. How can I do that?
The arrow is an element of a Group container.
I tried registering for MOUSE_OVER events for both the container and the arrow and none seem to fire...
I have a BorderContainer with some instances of spark Line. I need to select this lines by clicking on this. But adding event mouse click listener fails. ASdoc [URL] says that line have only activate and deactivate events. Any best way to detect whether line clicked (use another line class?). I think that catching of clicks in the bordercontainer is bad solution.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
View 11 RepliesI have a custom UIComponent that is basically just this:
public class WhiteboardUIComponent extends UIComponent
{
public function WhiteboardUIComponent() {
super();
[Code]....
This is absolutely the simplest that I could make the example. The s:View is gobbling up my mouse events - if I add a handler in the MXML to the View, I get mouse events just fine. When adding a handler programmatically in my subclass' constructor, I get nothing. I thought maybe the layout was wrong, so I explicitly set the dimensions of my UIComponent and stuck it in a border just to be sure it was where it was supposed to be - same deal.
I am writing a flex application and I have two Spark TextAreas. I want to create an EventListener so that when the user clicks on a text area, the text inside the TextArea is cleared:
this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusIn);
private function onFocusIn(ev:FocusEvent):void {
if (this._showsCaption) {
[Code]....
Currently I can implement this with a Spark TextInput, but when I click on the TextArea, the focusIn event never fires and the onFocusIn() handler is never called.
How can I set a line-through style for a s:label like css text-decoration:line-through.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to design my very first flash website, to date I've been using a photoshop/imageready and HTML combo and I need something new. So, I bought Flash MX 2004, and thus my question regards AS 2.
My problem is, I want an object to follow a path (like a motion guide) but I want its X position to be determined by the mouses X position. This is to be this way so that no matter where your cursor is (it will be hidden) the object following the path and your mouses X position will be the same. I tried to just make a motion guide and then use the following AS but it did not work.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myRadians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians*180/Math.PI));
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);
[Code].....
That is just modified AS from a tutorial I read. It makes the object follow my mouses X position and rotate according to specific degrees (makes it more interesting). The problem is that I need the objects Y value to be a set value along a curved line. And I have no idea how to do this. I was reading something about the path follower class but thats way above my head.
The old method for the mx:TextArea no longer works. Specifically:
myMxTextArea.verticalScrollPosition = myMxTextArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
I've found this method for Spark but seems a bit kludgy:
mySparkTA.scrollToRange(mySparkTA.text.length-1, mySparkTA.text.length);
Is there a more straightforward way to do this?

I am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?
I have some Movieclips that play sounds on mouse over, and end the sound on mouse out. That has worked fine for me.I just implemented some tween animations on the rollover (they enlarge), but now I am having problems because the animations cause multiple mouse over/out events.
View 4 RepliesSo I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....
Let's assume i have a class MyDisplayObject extending a Sprite.
I have placed several instances of that class on the same place on the stage (they are not nested) and each of them have a mouseclick listener defined within the class.
What i want is, that if i click on that area, where these objects are, that each of them triggers the mouseclick event...by default only the topmost object triggers the event. I would prefer a solution that i can implement within my class MyDisplayObject instead of iterating all children on the stage and triggering each event manually.
[code]When I hover the upper (red) part of the List (I would like to have the List scroll downward, the higher the mouse position is, the faster it should scroll). Similarly, If the mouse hovers over the bottom (red) part, the List scrolls upwards, and the lower the mouse is hovered, the faster the list would scroll. The current code does work - Though, the trace outs make it obvious that:this.layout.verticalScrollPosition += (mouseY - 220)*0.5.or this.layout.verticalScrollPosition += (mouseY -86)*0.5;are giving jumping effects, is there a way to make these values change more linearly or smoother? I created an AnimateProperty, but that works well only if I would like to scroll to a selectedIndex, In this case, I would like the scroller to keep scrolling linearly as the mouse is hovered to a particular red area, and increase in speed when I scroll to either extremity.The Objective: While the mouse is over the Bottom (red part )of the List, the verticalScrollPosition scrolls faster as it gets farther than the center of the ticket list... yet there is jumping effect going on, I suppose due to the EnterFrame. the Same with Upper Part... the higher the cursor is, the faster the List should scroll.I feel this is a common problem to Flash CSx developers.
View 1 RepliesI have a component extending a Spark List, and when I scroll using the mouse wheel it scrolls too much in one go. I have tried looking for the handler that deals with mouse wheel scrolling in the List class and VerticalLayout class to override but I cannot find it.
View 1 RepliesI have an Application displaying a spark.List. Every item of my list must be visible (no vertical scroll).
I need my Application to be scrollable in a web browser, so I've add a Scroller containing all my components. When the browser window is too small to contain all my application, scrollBar appears.
My application looks like that :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="100%" height="100%" >
[Code]....
When I scroll with my mouse cursor outside of the List, everythink works fine. When I scroll with my mouse cursor over the List, nothing happends.
It looks like the mousewheel event is stopped by the List, even if the List does not have a scrollbar.
I have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.

View 3 RepliesI am using Flex Spark Slider as a time-line for a Flex video player custom component I have created.
I want to prevent the user from clicking on the slider and changing its value, but at the same time I should be able to change the value of the slider programmatically.

Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}

What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.
I want to replicate the standard startDrag/stopDrag events with my own routine to alter things a bit, and I run into some kind of event propagation or bubbling problem. Here is my code:

mouseDown="mouseDown = true" mouseUp="mouseDown = false"

The problem with this code is that as you drag the object to the right, you will see in the trace that occasionally some random localX values arrive there, resulting in the object jerking from side to side.
I have a base ShapeContainer(UIComponent). I add a uicomponent which has mouse down listener to ShapeContainer. the listener works great.

im working on:[code]For more detailed comprehension: corner is the black corner with the (i) and 'Promotion', text is some random text that can be displayed in the white remaining space, container contains corner and text, and finally this class contains container!I need to retrieve the event mouseevent.rollover/rollout from corner.And what's wrong?
1. When I put the mask on container (container.rawchildren.addchildren + container.mask = mask) and the dropshadowfilter on container (container. filters = [glow]), I cannot detect the mouse events.
2. When I put the mask on the promopanel (this.rawchildren.addchildren + this.mask = mask) and the dropshadowfilter on promopanel (this.filters = [glow]), I cannot detect the mouse events.
3. When I put the mask in a component and the filter in another, it does not work either.
4. If I remove the mask OR the filter, it works!! But I need them both...
So, does anyone has an idea on how to make this work? I've been trying to look for issues with filters, masks and mouseevents but haven't found anything that could enlighten this issue.
I am implementing an application timeout feature (flex4). What I am finding is that mouse and keyboard events, which I have listened to with :
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, resetLastActivity);
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, resetLastActivity);
are being masked by the existence of any popup windows. The code is in a component, in the constructor. The component is added to the main application in the block.
How can I get these system generated events to not get stopped by PopUpManager display objects?
