I have an image gallery app that has a slider to control the width of the thumbnails that ranges from 80 to 1024. As you move the slider the thumbnails width changes to effectively scaling the image between 80px and 1024px. Below the thumbnail is some information about the image such as the name, size, dimensions, etc. There is also a set of icons that do various tasks (delete, edit, copy, etc). All of this information is located within a VBox.The problem I am having is I would like to have the VBox hide when the width of the thumbnail reaches 150 px or below. This I have been able to accomplish with the following code:
<mx:VBox visible = "{thumbnail.width > 150}">The issue is that while the information within the VBox is now not visible, the real estate it takes up is not released. In other words, there is now a blank space the exact size of the VBox. What I'd like to do is to be able to release this space. I know this is probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but today my brain is just not working,
[code]I am trying to define a DataGrid such that the row nodes will represent new rows in the DataGrid and the column nodes will be used to auto-populate the DataGrid's columns. I am having a problem setting the dataField for each of the DataGridColumn ojects created.The DataGrid is created but the cell values for row 1 are all 0.51 and row 2 are 0.61.
I have pages of info I'm pulling from external files. I want my btn_next to not be visible when the last page loads and my btn_prev to not be visible when the first page loads. The btns are actually moviclips with instance names btn_next and btn_prev Here is my code:
ActionScript Code: var imageContainter:String; var fileName:String;
[Code]....
This code appears to be working. I'm dynamically creating a bunch of movieclips that each contain an image. The also code stacks each clip on top of each other.
I'd like to be able to now set the alpha or visibility of all of those movieclips to 0 or false, except for the first one. I have other code that will set specific movieclips to display based on mouseEvents.
How do I refer to all of them? And should I be using arrays as well?
I haven't been using Flash long enough to know if I'm using Flash 8 Actionscript or Flash MX 2004 Actionscript, etc. I don't really know the difference or where to look so an explanation about that would also be helpful.I do know I'm using Actionscript 2, in CS4.Basically I'm needing help switching between sounds based on visibility of other items.I've got 15 buttons; buttons 1 to 5 making one of objects 1 to 5 visible and turning the others off, and buttons 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 doing the same for items 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 respectively.I'm trying to make three sounds play when a point on the timeline is met. Sound 1 is dependant on which of object 1 to 5 is visible, etc.Everything I've tried has either not worked or ended up with sounds overlapping/playing oddly. I can't find anything on the internet specific enough to help, so I thought I'd ask specifically.As I've said, I'm relatively new to Actionscript.
Just new to As3. I can't set visibility of movieclip inside another movieClip ActionScript Code: player.vidImage.visible = true; trace(player.vidImage); // shows - [object SimpleButton] tracing player.vidImage show [object SimpleButton]. But can't set visibility true. VidImage is physically placed inside player MovieClip.
I have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?
I have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.
I'm doing a custom skin for flv and I can seek the flv if I moved the slider,but how to get the the percentage to move? to get the information of the seek's percent.[code]
I'm loading a bunch of images through XML like this:
[Code]...
Pretty simple. Loads each image into a imgHolder_mc named 0, 1, 2, etc. Each image is also set to alpha = 0 since I don't want them to show unless the slider is changed.
I'm making a game that is tightly integrated into a rest service. I want to set variables based on what the server tells me the variable should be.
[Code]....
but then the parseUserRank() method can't directly return the value to userRank, so there would have to be an event dispatched when its available, then update then finally update the variable value....
I have 8 dynamic text boxes in my scene. What I need to accomplish is setting the value of the text in the text boxes to "Ready". The number of dynamic text boxes that need to have their value set to "Ready" is based on the variable "myVar1". Which dynamic text box to begin with is based on the variable "myVar2". In the scenario below mytextbox4, mytextbox5, and mytextbox6 should all be displaying "Ready" when done.
I have an exam which pulls in questions from an XML file and to indicate what the correct answer is you would indicate in the XML as such:
[Code]...
There is one question, that is structured so there are two right answers, but when I add correct="true" to both answers I want as right only one is calculated correctly in the scoring. I thinking I need to make an adjustment in the code that pulls in the XML, but not sure where. Here is the AS code.
Is there a way to tell at runtime if a flex UIComponent is in the user's view or not.For example, if I have a tabNavigator with a combobox on each tab, is there a property of the comboBox that will tell me if it is visible to the user or not when I switch from one tab to another?I know it is not the comboBox.visible property. That is set to "true" for both comboboxes. I want a property that will change when I switch from one tab to another making the comboBox visible to the user. I don't know what that property is.
I have and add button (last row) in one column of the AdvancedDataGrid. for the row having the add button the rest of fields are not visible. On click of the add button a new row is added to the grid for the user to add. After that this button becomes delete button (label becomes '-' and a new row is added at the bottom for adding another row). When i click on the delete button (label '-'), the last row gets the add button('+' label) but the fields of the row become visible.
I have a custom ActionScript component that I'm using in a Flex application (Flex 3.3, ActionScript 3). This component contains an Image control whose visibility is set dynamically based on a property of the data element provided to the component. The problem is that even when I set the image to be visible, it will not render onscreen. Is there something specific I need to do in order for the image to render? Snippets of relevant code below:
override public function set data( value:Object ):void { _data = value; if( _data ) { if( _myImg ) { _myImg.source = someImageClass; [Code] .....
Lets suppose, there are 4 popups in my application and a viewer presses Escape once. Now i want application to close the popup which is on the top. I dont know how to accompish this because i dont know thich popup is to the front right now.
when we use an advanced data grid, only when we click on the parent element the children details get populated in the corresponding columns, right?..SO now i have made the empty columns invisible(at design) now how do i make them visible at run time when the parent element is expanded..similarly once the columns are visible, how can i make them invisible again when the parent element is closed.
When I set the visible property to false for a child in a container, how can I get the container to resize? In the example bellow, when clicking on "Toggle", "containerB" is hidden, but the main container's scrollable area is not resized. (I do not want to scroll through a lot of empty space.)
I have data grid that measures the height according to the rows it has, but i need to disappear/ make invisible when i have no data, so the header will not just appear alone.
I have a Flex repeater that has a complex item template. When a checkbox is clicked, I need to toggle the visibility of a sibling button contained in the same repeater template. Since I can't add binding expressions to event handlers, I can't pass in the repeater item's index.
How can I access sibling components inside a repeater item?
I'm trying to make a Flex (Advanced)DataGrid component with some mechanism where the user can toggle the visibility of the columns. I've crudely implemented this by reading in the columns into the right-click menu, and when a column name is selected here, the visibility is toggled. It works, but it's not the most elegant solution.Specifically, I'm trying to emulate the "datagrid" that Mozilla Thunderbird uses to display emails. Here is an image:
In the upper right, there is an icon over the scroll bar. If there is no scrollbar, the icon remains in the same place. When clicking the icon, it opens up a menu that shows all the possible columns, with the visible ones having a check mark next to them, like this:
Also, the scroll bar always appears under this button, never "pushing" it over into it's own column.I'd like to re-create this in Flex. I believe the menu part and creating a column with a button headerRenderer is easy enough. But I can't figure out how (if at all possible) to do this with the scrollbar, because the scrollbar always seems to be "its own column".
I'm currently using the Flex HSlider control. I'd like the slider to only allow the user to pick the values: [0, .5, 1, 2]I can get it close to what I want by setting the snapInterval to .5 and by explicitly providing the tickValues. But that still allows the value 1.5 to be selected. Is there a way to provide explicit snapValues or to only allow entries in tickValues to be selected? Or do I have to roll my own slider?
What I have is a map that you can click on points and it will zoom in, you can also click on a "plus/minus" buttons to zoom in and out (I even have the mouse wheel zooming in and out). The client wanted me to add a "zoom slider bar" to it so you know you could move it up and down to scale it. Everything is working except the slider, I can't seem to get it to work with the position of the slider. All of the zoom functionality is there but the slider is killing me.
I am putting up the fla file since there is a lot of code in there and I didn't want to put it all in the forum. if you look in the fla in frame ten on line 726 you can find the function that is supposed to handle the zooming when you move the slider. Up on line 74 you can find the slider onPress and onRelease functions, but those I believe should be fine.
