Flex :: Prevent An MFC Dialog From Handling Enter And Escape Keys And Not Passing It On
Aug 11, 2010
we have a C++ application that hosts a flex application in a MFC dialog. Everything works fine, all button pushes etc are passed directly on to flex with no problem at all, except the enter and escape keys, which immediately closes the dialog. We can trap the enter key, by implementing PreTranslateMessage() or OnOK() and impede the window closing behavior, but we still have the problem of passing these enter key pushes on to the hosted flex app further. There is no "default" button on the form or anything like that, perhaps MFC is linking the enter key to the close button in the title bar behind the scenes or something. Does anyone have any ideas how we can stop MFC from treating the enter key from being a special case.[code]

Now that I have the focus on my DataGrid and I can select a row using the up and down keyboard arrows, I then would like to confirm my row selection by hitting the enter key.But, my keydown listener on the DataGrid doesn't see the enter, escape and delete keys. Most of the other keys are seen. I can browse the list by using the up and down keys (and I can see my function in the keydown listener are called).It only happens when I check my application from the Flash IDE. In debug mode, these keys are taken into account.My DataGrid is not editable but selectable.

I'm setting up some auto build scripts with ant and jsfl for use in Flash CS4. I have a few files that have some missing fonts. For these I just want to have the default mapping selected since the text content in question isn't displayed. I think CS5 may have an option to not display the mapping dialog, but CS4 doesn't. Anyone know if there's a jsfl method to targert this window and just select 'OK'?

Code:
// msg_box_txt is a TextField for user input
// by hitting ENTER, it sends msg_box_txt.text
var my_listener:Object = new Object();
my_listener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER) {
[Code]...
msg_box_txt should be cleared, empty, after hitting ENTER. the problem that it contains one empty line, and the cursor is at beginning of the second line. how can this be fixed??

I am trying to use Javascript to intercept keyboard events, so I can do CMD-W for "close-window" and whatnot, inside a Flash application, so the Browser doesn't get to use them. Well, I am able to listen for ALT, CTRL, and CMD onKeyDown/onKeyPress events, but I am not able to listen to anything else...
Here is the code, in the index.html file from a Flex Project:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.onkeydown = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
document.onkeypress = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
function applicationKeyboardHandler(event) {
alert("Key Pressed")
} </script>
I would like to make it so it could listen to any key press, not just alt/ctrl/cmd.

I need help with a project asap. I am new to AS. I need to be able to change from each text box by use of arrows,tab, and enter keys. Also, the user inputs a number into the textbox and from there I am checking to see if it is the correct one. It is telling me too early that it is wrong before I input.

I am trying to create a retroish game and have a few features working but now need a menu system. Most older games use the arrows keys and enter for menu navigation. I was wondering if such a menu system has already been created as it is a simple feature that I am sure someone has made before.

Is this a script out there that will prevent the user from scrolling the page (page up & down) when they press the UP and DOWN arrow keys?
I have created a car game, but the only problem is the page scrolls when the player presses the arrow keys!
I've never had this problem before, usually once you activate the Flash movie then page scrolling is disabled.
When I use my arrow keys to control the car, the page in the browser scrolls up/down.
The problem with this is when you press it a few times, the page scrolls enough where you can only see half of the Flash movie or something and it ruins the game experience.
Note: When I press the UP arrow key, the car moves forward AND the page scrolls. So it's not a matter of focusing on the Flash movie.

So I have the code of two classes (I can't post any actual code as its way too long - even broken up But I can give you a sample of simmilar aspects)
public class ClassA
{
private var objectString:Vector.<String>; // create a new vector to hold items - this will be passed
[Code]....
Yes I have an understanding of vectors so pointing me to the documentation may be worthless. As I have read it hundred times. I would not be posting here if I didnt. How ever I may have missed something.
Upon debugging this I see that Class A has a vector that now contains one element -> "hello." When I pass that vector on Object container is null. Whats worse is now I return a null vector list and pass on a null vector list and trace should in theory show me null.
In java this is how I would pass vectors and arrays around and I believe some one showed me this is how you do it in actionscript.

I've made an AS3 AIR proggie that works with PHP to look at a specific online directory of mp3s, get it's listing, and download to my local machine. It works fine, except when a song name has '&' in it. I'm not sure how to escape ampersands, or where the escape needs to happen - PHP or AS3? Here's the relevant AS3:

In an AIR application I have the following code:
theDialog = PopUpManager.createPopUp( this, TheDialogClass, true ) as TheDialogClass;
theDialog.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, cpuIntensiveCalc);
At the end of cpuIntensiveCalc the dialog is removed. The dialog informs the user that "something is going on, please stand by."
The problem is that cpuIntensiveCalc starts before the dialog draws. So the user experience is that the application freezes for 10 seconds with no indicator, then the modal dialog flashes quickly (less than a second) on screen.
The Adobe docs say this about creation_complete
Dispatched when the component has finished its construction, property processing, measuring, layout, and drawing.
So this feels like the correct event. In the name of completeness, I also tried
theDialog = PopUpManager.createPopUp( this, TheDialogClass, true ) as TheDialogClass;
cpuIntensiveCalc();

Am facing issue with session timeout. Say for instance, the user logs into the application and he waits for 30 mins (session timeout time) and then tries to get a service through remote object.Ideally speaking, since the session has timeout the user shouldn't be able to hit the remote object, but this is happening the other way round.

I'm using MATE on an Adobe Flex project for MVC. On one of our pages, we have a dialog window that is presented to the user that displays them information that comes from RPC. The pages where this dialog pops up is unrelated to the data being displayed so this is a separate model. How do I create a MATE mapping file that will create the dialog window, make it visible to the user, and then inject in data from a model?

Is there a easy way to figure out consistently when a Dialog closes that has been created through PopUpManager. I would have suspected some type of message or callback mechanism, but there does not seem to be. In one case I use the WindowTitle component and event that only fires the CLOSE if someone presses the close and give no message when the dialog actually closes.

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

I am using Flex 4 and running into some problems displaying a simple alert box. The alert box shows up, but the text seems to be the same color as the background. I know the text is there because if I mouse over in the alert box window to roughly where the text would be, I can see the cursor change. And when I double click and copy-paste into notepad, I can see the message. But the message, the button text, the message box title don't show up.The relevant code in my project is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

I am using browseForSave() to give the user a chance to save a file before navigating back to a previous screen. As of now the cancel button on the save dialog just closes the save dialog. I want to see if the cancel button was clicked, and if so continue navigating back to the previous screen without saving. Right now the person has to save the file in order to move back. Below is the code I'm using.
