Flex :: Reposition An Icon Inside A Button On Any X,y Cordinates?
May 20, 2010
how to reposition an icon inside a button on any x,y cordinates . i know how to use labelplacement etc but still i dont get the full control over them. i m just wondering if there is a way to directly access and control the x,y position of an icon in a flex button
I have a button which I use for sending a message. When the message text is empty, it should not be possible to click the button.
This is all fine and not an issue. The only thing that is bugging me is the fact that I can disable the send button but the image does not get disabled (like I would expect).
Is there a way to do this elegantly because I don't want to provide a sendicon_disabled.png and change it myself (I don't think this should be my job).
I am trying to add different icon on different buttons. I have my skin file ready but not sure if I have to create different skin class for different button. It sounds inefficient.
I want to extract/read the button icon image as a Flex image component, then apply transform filters to it to make it black/white and then apply image as an icon to another button. So far I can get the icon out as an Object by doing this: var iconImg:Object = myBtn.getStyle("icon"); Not sure how to convert that Object to an image.
Until now, my solution for a disabled button's icon was to have a second, greyscale icon and swap the icons based on the button's enabled value. Obviously this is very hackish.
I'd like to drill down into the button's icon and apply some kind of greyscale filter when the button is disabled and remove the filter when the button is re-enabled. I tried a couple of things, but I don't know enough about Flash graphics to really have a good idea about what to do.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Ideally, I'd like a Flex 3 solution (since most of my apps are still mx/spark mixed), but Flex 4 would be OK too.
I'm trying to extend the text input that comes in flex to support an icon, just like mac os x search text input has a grey circle aligned to the right, the text input has a addChild method, but it didn't work for me.
I have a button with an icon. I want to have the button in gray so I change the chromeColor but when I do that, the icon became darker.On the left the button without changing the color, on the right, the gray button with and darker icon.How can I have a gray button without changing the icon color?
I would like to right align an icon on a button or tabbarbutton and keep the text left aligned in Flex 4.0 Spark. So far, I've come up with something like the following in my custom skin:
I adopted the tsunami effect that i've got from this link [URL] but the problem is how can i plug the title on each icon, showing up on an icon when i point on it (on rollOver)
when i rotate an image how do i get the new cordinates of the image.This image is rotated around 0,0 but what is the coordinates of the other corners now it os rotated?
I have created a flash whack-a-mole game, and coded the 9 different x and y cordinates the 4 moles can come up on. But I can't code it so that the moles can never have the same x and y cordinates.
I have tried this code: (Barney and mulvarp is two moles. .flytt(); is the command that gives the mole a new place to be.
I have a problem whereby I am trying to Start a tween from set cordinates..[URL].. Which was helpful but did not sort out the problem, I have a movieclip "pano_mc" which moves around driven by mouse movements, there is a hotspot (hs1_mc) nested within it (which moves with the Pano_mc), I have an onPress Event on hs1_mc which when pressed allows me to get the x and y of "pano_mc" at the point of OnPress, I need somehow to use these x and y corodinates to define the start point of the tween, on Pano_mc.
I can't use "this" (as mentioned in the above link) as the event is on the hs1_mc and if I just use "_x" parameter in the tween, it starts from where the movie is originally and not from where it is when the onPress is actioned,where I get the cordinates at that point.
in my Controller Class:[code]brick it's inside a container and its position in x axis is 200px.When the brick is moving, the x and y value are based on stage x and y mouse.The 0 in the stage should correspond to -200 inside my container.How can i use globalToLocal method?instead write:brick.x = (mouseX - mouseX%theGrid.getGridSize())-200;
I am creating a somewhat elaborate (for me at least) navigation for my site. I have created a bunch of animated MC's to use as nav-buttons, and all that works great. The only issue is that when you mouse over the MC-buttons, the cursor stays as an arrow instead of turning into the little hand that always happens with links. The links work, but no little hand. Do I have to have a "hit area" defined in order to get the hand icon to popup or what?
When setting the icon to a Button, a Class of an image is needed. This can be done very simply by embeding an image. But what I would like to do is use an image known only at runtime.More exactly I can not download an image from an external source, obtain it bitmapData or something else, convert it and assign it as the icon style for a Button.So my problem is that for the Flex components that need an image, a Class needs to be assigned, and I can not use an external image to download it, to convert it in some way and assign it
I am loading the data externally from xml and displaying in a datagrid. I have 2 buttons addRow and deleteRow. My datagrid headertext names are "name" "age" "rollno" "image", where image also will be loading externally thru an xml file. now when i am pressing the deleteRow button, whole row is getting deleted but an image icon is still appearing under "image" headertext. It was not an actual image but a blank image icon kind of thing is appearing, how to remove the icon. i want my whole row to be deleted. but its not happening.
I need to make the "rcheck2_txt" rotate 180. With this script it does what I need. But currently the centre point is in the top-left corner of the dynamic text box. How do i change the X Y cordinates so the centre point is in the middle of the dynamic text box?
I've searched for an hour now to no avail, doesent seem to be worth the trouble for something so simple.How do you remove the finger pointer icon from a button leaving the regular cursor when the user rolls over the button?
I have a tab navigator defined in MXML, with two tabs.In each tab, I have some buttons. I have used ActionScript to add event listeners to all the buttons, and they work for the buttons that are visible (and in the currently "active" tab) when I load my Flex 4.5 AIR application.However, I get an AIR error for the event listeners attached to the buttons in the second tab.Here's the crucial part of the error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
Trying to set the up and down state icons of a Flex Combobox to images. I see the property for changing the color of the icon, but no property to skin it. How can I do this?
I am dragging item from a datagrid and while dragging I could see all of the columns in the selected record, being getting dragged. However I only want to show one column (maybe name or id of the record)? Is there a way to achieve this? Also, could I show an icon or image instead of the record while dragging.
I've created an Air app for use in work. To make things slightly easier, I pin the icon to taskbar (Windows 7). The app uses the auto-update framework (default), which works fine.
After I update though, the pinned icon becomes a default blank page icon. If I click on this icon, Windows will tell me that it can't find the program. I need to unpin the icon and repin a new one (the icon in the start menu works fine).
I'm using AIR 2.7 (compiling with the Flex 4.1 SDK) and I'm on Windows 7 64 bit if that helps.
I am developing an Adobe Air app. I need to set an icon to the app so it is shown on the task bar. I added the icon tag to the descriptor file but it is not working and I really don't know why
We are creating a LinkButton programmatically and would like to set it's icon to an image retrieved from the remote server rather than something embedded within the SWF. The .icon property expects a Class but I can't figure out how to create one equivalent to an @Embed but from a dynamically generated URLRequest or URL String.[code]...
