I have a List component from which I'd like to be able to remove items using drag & drop, but without having a specific target. If you use the mac, the behaviour I'm looking for is something like what the Dock uses; when you drag something out of the bounds of the control it should get an icon that indicates that it'll be deleted (OSX uses a cloud or something?) and then if you release it it will be removed from the list.

View 1 Replies1) I have a UI component that extends sprite. I am storing them in Arrays.
Boxes[i].y += 5;
Has no effect on that UI components y. Neither does;
(Boxes[i] as UIcomponent).y +=5;
2) I am using Push Button Engine. How do I get an entity to display text? I don't see a Text component in the library.
3) Say I have a sprite or some class that extends sprite and I want to change its graphic to a different graphic, like BrownLeaf.swf for example. I have the BrownLeaf.swf in my ResourceBundle as;
[Embed(source="../assets/textures/LeafGame/BrownLeaf.swf", mimeType='application/octet-stream')]
public var BrownLeaf:Class;
4) Is there an easy way to implement Drag and Drop on an PBE entity? A Drag and Drop component?
I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
I need to finish this code, the remove child works and removes the character mc, but I want to remove a fair few event listeners, so I can implement a drag and drop feature. My problem is would I need to list all the listeners to stop them on this frame? And this should only effect the listed listeners and not the new code for the drag and drop?
Code:
this.removeChild(char);
this.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrame )
I programmatically added 20 instances of a movie clip named "Token" to the stage. Token consists of a small rectangle and a dynamic text field. Each instance of Token was named "tkn." I'm attempting implement drag & drop for these movie clips. In the drag function which is called by the Mouse_Down event I've traced e.target.name. Instead of getting the name of the movie clip, tkn, I get name of the text field contained within tkn. After a lot of searching I found the mouseChildren property and within the code for the movie clip I now have the statement "this.mouseChildren = false;" This change corrected the name problem. I no longer get the name of the text field, but the movie clip name has been changed to "instancexxx," where xxx is a 3 digit number. Since I only want to drag the tkn movie clips I am testing e.target.name. How do I get Flash to keep the name of the movie clip as tkn?

View 0 RepliesI am using drag and drop functionality, with duplicateMovie clips. Everything is working great. However, I'm trying to create a little more functionality. Say someone drags an icon onto the artwork, once they have it positioned, they decide that they don't want to use that particular icon. Is there a way to just delete the icon that was dragged?
View 0 RepliesI have a movie clip = circle
When the user clicks the circle I want the user to be able to drag and drop a new instance ie circle1.This whole process needs to be repeatable.......ie next time user clicks the original circle ie circle the code must know the last instance number ie circle1 exists and when the user clicks circle that circle2 is created dragged and dropped.....so on and so on.
This is easy you may say - duplicatemovie and startdrag etc........the problem is that when the user clicks on the original circle the mouse focus is on the original circle and not the new instance just created ie circle1 which then needs to be dragged and dropped.Just to complicate things the user needs to be able to delete a circle at any time by using the keyboard 'del' key.

If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

I am writing a Flex application for use on a private intranet with no external Internet access. I want to use Google's 3D Maps Flex API, but it must be connected to the internet to download map tiles on demand.

View 1 RepliesI've written a Flash (Flex) client connecting to a back-end server to exchange data. I've also written my server from scratch, and it serves two purposes:
(1) Web (HTTP) Server- By default listens on port 80
(2) Socket/Application- Server - By default listens on port 443
Just FYI, both servers run in the same process space, for convenience reasons. They are not expected to handle massive loads, so I'm fine with that. As soon as the Flash client is served to the browser from the HTTP socket, the client attempts to open an XMLSocket to the Socket/Application server. I now want to implement HTTP tunneling, so that my client can connect to the Application server even if the user is behind a firewall. I do not want any external servers involved (proxies etc.) - simply use the servers I already have.
My questions:
(1) Is it better to use port 443 for that? (does it better fool firewalls?)
(2) As far as I can see, what I am required to do, is just ensure that my actual application data is simply encapsulated in an HTTP structure (preceded by a dummy HTTP header), both from the client and server sides. Is that so or am I missing anything here?
(3) Do I need to keep hiding/encapsulating my data every message I send through the socket, or can I just encapsulate the first message when opening the connection?
I am considering creating a website with the complexity of Facebook that should be able to scale into the millions of users. My question is: Is there any reason not to use Adobe Flex for such large project apart from the obvious point of requiring everyone to have Flash installed and not having to rely on Adobe? In my view Adobe Flex would reduce the server load for Facebook, because more of the work could me done on the client side.

View 1 Replieswe have one application where we are pulling some confidential information from one of the product design tools. So we have used HTTPS as the channel and also we are encrypting the Request Parameters and Some data before we sent it to Web Services.Everything seems OK.But when we gave the application for Security auditing they found we have hard coded the encryption key in source code. They have used Sothink SWF Decompiler to look into my SWF file. They caught the key and raised concern over it.
We have developed this application using Flex 3(SDK 3.4). Is there any best way to use Secret key without being hard coded in source code. If anybody come across this kind of problem, please let me know. use the secret keys in SourceCode without being Hard coded.
Here is my sample code:
var currentResult:String = "";
var strDataToEncrypt:String = "";

Currently, i have been compiling my applications with FD/CS3 and want to make the switch to the flex compiler. One of the main things i want to experiment with the flex compiler is using Macros in AS3. For instance, say i have some extremely expensive operation that i wish to carry out:
private function Main():void
{
extremelyExpensiveOperation(params);
}
but i want to avoid the cost of a function lookup. So instead of using a function lookup I do something like
private function Main():void
{
<macro expandExtremelyExpensiveOperationHere(params)/>
}
obviously the syntax doesn't have to look exactly like that, but the macro gets expanded before compilation thus avoiding function lookup.
The scribd fullscreen mode is pretty neat (example: http:url...). The advantage (for RIAs specifically) is that it doesn't (almost) completely disable the keyboard the way the 'default' fullscreen mode in Flash Player does. Seems to also work when embedded.
