Flex :: Resize The Dropdown Of A Combobox Along With The Combo Box?

May 17, 2010

Background:�I am doing some UI work where I allow the user to programatically add and resize controls on a canvas. Problem: When resizing a combo box through AS the dropdown stays at the same width as the first time it drops down. So user places combo box on the page, clicks the down arrow, sees the options, selects an option or clicks down arrow again to close, resizes the width of the drop down, clicks the down arrow. Now drop down is the same width as original. Have tried simple things like setting the width of the dropdown specifically and invalidating display list but it still doesn't work.

Flex :: Fix ComboBox Dropdown In Fullscreen?

Mar 11, 2010

Short version: ComboBox's dropdown works and renders properly before fullscreen, but not during or after. I'm not totally sure how to ask this, so I've actually made a page demonstrating the error, with a very simple Flex app, and all three directions you need to experience the problem yourself.

For those of you not daring enough to follow my link above, I'll do my best to explain here. I've built a rather extensive Flex application (not the one in the link) that has some graphs and charts and checkboxes and other controls for those charts. At the bottom of app in a few of the application States, there is a ComboBox (like a <select> tag in HTML). Because this is at the very bottom, when you click it to access it's dropdown menu, Flex thoughtfully has it come out of the top.

Flex :: ComboBox Dropdown Scaling Does Not Follow DisplayList?

Jan 13, 2010

I've been working on an application (with ComboBoxes) that requires scaling the entire application based on screen resolution. I thought it would simply require changing the "scaleX" and "scaleY" properties of the top-level application, but discovered that the ComboBox dropdown doesn't appear to scale accordingly, as in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
applicationComplete="init()">

[Code]....

which results in the dropdown appearing (sliding down) unscaled until it reaches it's extended length and stops at which point it scales up and remains at that scale until it is closed. I have also found that if you call "invalidateDisplayList()" on the comboBox or the dropdown, then it undoes the scaling, so it appears that whenever the updateDisplayList is called, the dropdown only applies it's parent ComboBox's scaling, and not the ComboBox's parent container's scaling.

I understand that, as a pop-up, the dropdown isn't in the Application's or ComboBox's displayList tree, which appears to be the root of the problem (no pun intended).

Force Combobox To Create A Dropdown?

Jan 31, 2011

I'm working on a sort of AutoComplete component and faced one problem. When you create a new instance of a component, fill it with data - everything seems to be ok. When user types a letter in the inputField (and filter accepts one or few records) - everything goes alright, BUT if the first time user types a wrong letter (filter returned 0 records) - I'm getting a null-pointer exception.

This component is based on ComboBox. I have some thoughts about that: I suppose that the dropdown is not being created at time, any ideas on how to force my autoComplete to create it? I know 1 way - copy/paste some incapsulated code from ComboBox class .. but it would be too many of it .. I'm looking for a better solution.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Combobox's Dropdown Menu On Loaded .swf?

Mar 5, 2010

I remember I had this problem also on AS2: if you load a .swf that contains a combobox, into a mc in the main .swf, and you try to manipulate the scale of this container mc, the combobox dropdown menu won't resize.In AS2 i solved it by puting the combobox inside a mc "container" that also contains the code line this._lockroot=true;, and attaching this "container" to the swf using the attachMovie() method. I don't know why, but it worked, and when i loaded this swf into a mc in the main swf and re-scaled that mc the combobox's dropmenu scaled together with it.

Flex :: Setting A Custom ItemRenderer In A ComboBox On Specific List Items After Combobox Creation?

Nov 8, 2010

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..

I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Combo Box Making A Hint For Each Item - Placing An Event Listener Into The Function That Populates The Combo Box?

The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Populate Combo Box Values Using Another Combo Box Instance

Dec 21, 2005

I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.

I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:

on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event

which is not working.

should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
