View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make a bounding circle instead of a bounding box?The objects should bounce INSIDE the circle.I have now a bounding box outside the circle, but the objects exceeds the circle at the corners.
I was thinking of making an array of Points on the edge of a circle and when the object is < or > then do something... but that would be a lots of if/else statements.
Is there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.

View 2 RepliesThe link elements I'm talking about are single words, so they are not wrapped inside the container, which means that they should have a single bounding rectangle. But how do I go about finding this rectangle? I'm familiar with Flex3 but don't know enough about the new Text Layout Engine in Flex4.

View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

My problem is that all my accentuated characters are displayed as weird iso characters. Example :© is displayed %E9 I send a string to my php file :

<mx:CheckBox id="userlevel" x="118" fontSize="12" fontWeight="bold" y="127" label="Administrator"/>
What should be the Alert.show(userlevel.selected) returns whether its true or not... but i need the label value.
in main.mxml :
public function init():void
{
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,login,true);
}

How can i selectchild of main.mxml's Viewstack from login.mxml ?
I have a flex datagrid to which I need to add this functionality: user clicks on particular cell, window should pop-up with additional information about the value in that cell. The pop-up might need to be another datagrid with more info.Can u provide flex code for this.I am new to flex.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to set the selected value of a checkbox from a dataprovider (an xml file).
<mx:DataGridColumn width="75" headerText="show/hide" dataField="@hidden">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
[Code].....
The problem I am having is, I think, that it's not recognizing the attribute in the html as boolean "hidden="false" or hidden="true". I can get the value, but how to I make it recognize the value as something other than a string?
I have 2 comboboxes which are dependent (country and state) and one submit button.
Now what i want is after user submits the form it should display one alert box which should be like
selected country is "selected item"
selected state is"selected item"
have an advanced datagrid with a simple custom mxadvanceddatagriditemrenderer. I want the renderer to only display an image when the row is hovered or selected. Right now I am doing that by using the excludeFrom="normal" tag on my image.
It works fine (minus the selected state, it disappears when selected) when I have the states hovered and normal defined. When I try to define a selected state, upon row click I get the following error:
RangeError: Index 0 is out of range.

I was wondering if there is a function/method to get next and previous date of a selected day
something like getpreviousday hh or something? All I could find is function that people created themselves, I thought maybe there is already a built-in function.

I am working on a Flex app that has a MySQL database. Data is retrieved from the DB using PHP then I am using AMFPHP to pass the data on to FlexThe problem that I am having is that the data is being copied from Word documents which sometimes result in some of the more unusual characters are not displaying properly. For example, Word uses different characters for starting and ending double quotes instead of just " (the standard double quotes). Another example is the long dash instead of -.All of these characters result in one or more accented capital A characters appearing instead. Not only that, each time the document is saved, the characters are replaced again resulting in an ever-increasing number of these accented A's appearing.
Doing a search and replace for each troublesome character to swap it for one of the none characters seems to work but obviously this requires compiling a list of all the characters that may appear and means there is scope for this continuing as new characters are used for the first time. It also seems like a bit of a brute force way of getting round the problem rather than a proper solution.Does anyone know what causes this and have any good workarounds / fixes? I have had similar problems when using utf-8 characters in html documents that aren't set to use utf-8. Is this the same thing and if so, how do I get flex to use utf-8?
I have a combobox with arrayCollection dataprovider, it selects nothing at start, but i see the first object label as selected, i want to add select text, as first option that selects nothing, just to indicate that the user didn't select an option yet.
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to create a Flex Project that will cause the Flash Player to cache the Flex framework. Flex Builder comes with Flex SDK 3.2.0.3958 and setting the Framework Linkage to use Runtime shared Library (RSL) under Project Properties -> Flex Build Path will separate the framework from my main application and I see that my project's bin-debug directory contains framework_3.2.0.3958.swf and *.swz for distribution.Flex SDK 3.4 fixes a few bugs, so I configured it as another available sdk and set it as the default SDK. When I compile, I expect the bin-debug directory to contain framework_3.4.0.9271.swf and *.swz; however, Flex Builder is still writing framework_3.2.0.3958.swf and *.swz.
View 2 RepliesI am using a combobox for the us states, link. The label is set to the full name of the state, while the value attribute holds the abbreviation. What I want to do is to get the selected item's value. So I tried combo.selectedItem.value and combo.selectedItem.@value, but neither of them worked.
View 2 RepliesI have a very simple DataGrid with 2 columns, some thing like this[code]...
What Im trying to do is to activate the edition of the selected row when the user clicks a button. So far I've been unable to find any example of how to do this. I already tried 6 or 7 different approaches but non works.
How do you get the selected row (NOT selectedItem) of a DataGrid and how can you:
Change the ItemRenderEditor or ItemRenderer on the fly of just that row.
Or enable the edition of that specific row without clicking it.
I have a XML based Tree Control. The XML Structure is recursive, so the children's can have the same Element as the parent. I now want to let the user add and remove the elements. Do do so I need to get the parent element of the selected Item. Following code I already collected together:
var selected:XML = treeControl.selectedItem;
parent.insertChildAfter(selected:XML, newElement);
I just don't know how to get to the selected parents node as there is no such method like treeControl.selectedItem.parent.
I have a TileList with thumbnail images. Under each thumbnail images I display the name of the image. I want to build rename functionality. So under the TileList is a "Rename selected image" button.
When this button is clicked, I would like to change the state of the itemRenderer component. The label underneath the image will change into a TextInput so that the user can type a new name. This is much like the Windows rename file functionality.
How can I access the itemRenderer of the selected image? How can I make it happen that it listens to the click event of the Rename button?[code]...
I have a spark list, which is based on a dataProvider. As the application runs, the data in the dataprovider can change, and also the dataProvider can be swapped for a different one
What I need to do is make sure that something is always selected in the list (unless it is empty)
I have a small flex datagrid. The dataProvider is an xmlList. I have two columns, userList and user permissions. The user permissions column as checkboxes. The values for the checkbox are stored as 0 and 1 in mySQL. While returning it from PHP, I am converting them to true or false. Its returning the values correctly to the frontend.
But inside the itemrenderer, the checkbox is not being set to true or false.
Either everything is true or everything is false.

How can I correctly set the value of the checkboxes from the DB values?
I had a comboBox and loading the datadynamically from the server. i need to display the first value in comboBox as a selected value and based on the value data should be populated on the grid.
View 2 RepliesIn the following working example the list's selected index is supposed to reset to 0 whenever the text box changes. However, for some odd reason every other keystroke the selected item disappears and then reappears at the subsequent keystroke.

I have some code as follows:
private function onComboChange(evt:Event):void {
var temp:Date = df_date.selectedDate;
temp.date += 5;
df_dateDue.selectedDate = new Date(temp);
}
In essence, I am trying to add 5 days onto the selected date in df_date, and put that date into df_dateDue. This fires off via an EventListener on a combobox. Both df_date and df_dateDue are dateFields.
OK, so the first time that I run this, it works fine; df_date stays the same and df_dateDue is set to 5 days past df_date. However, the next time that I run it, df_dateDue increments by 10 days from df_date, the next time by 15, and so on.
So, stepping through the code shows that somehow df_date has become linked to the temp var, and that the temp var is not resetting itself each time the function is called.
Example: df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 01 Jan.
Fire off the event, df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 06 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point, var temp = 06 Jan (even though df_date still shows 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 11 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point var temp = 11 Jan (even though df_date = 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 16 Jan
