I am going to use a HSlider to set a range of values. I would like the left thumb to look like ( and the right thumb to lok like ) so they appear to encompass the range like (range) instead of |range|. I only know how to set the skin for SliderThumb which will set the skin for both. Does anyone know of a way to set a different skin for each thumb?

how to skin the datatip of a hslider component.
I have created a 3 skins with degrafa. One for the track, one for thumb and one for the datatip. I had no problem attaching the skins for the track and thumb of the hslider component. But how can i skin the datatip?
I'd like to create an HSlider so that the skin of the track is different on either side of the thumb. So, for example, the track on the left side of the thumb is green, but red on the other.Is this possible or will it take a custom component?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load an swf file which has button skins as images (In the library of the swf file i have given export properties which is 'TickMark') and set the skin of a flex button using StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration.I am getting errors like 'Argument count mismatch on TickMark(). Expected 2, got 0.'This is what i am trying to do:
private function init():void
{
loader = new Loader();[code].....
If I use the class GraphicClass in setStyleDeclaration, it works... but basically I want it dynamically.Or there are other easy methods to skin (image) a flex button dynamically?
I'm using a hslider to select a range of values. However, I only have 5 values.The problem I'm having is that the dragging of a thumb does not look too good and the values of the thumbs are displayed in labels, beside the slider...I was then thinking about how to improve the look of the dragging and the slider.I came up with this: having an image that would behave like a slider. For example, something like this: a background image (sorry for the "drawing")
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
With 2 thumbs (min and max values) that would stay in the middle of each box.
i am required to zoom a canvas through Hslider. The problem is after zooming the canvas i cannot scroll to the extreme left and top of the canvas i.e some part of left and top canvas are not visible. i cannot find the reason. The source code for the example is given below.

I am trying to create a simple Music player has play/pause button and an HSlider that shows the position of the song as it is playing using a custom SliderThumbClass. I would like allow the user to drag/drop the sliderthumb or click on the sliderbar to change the position of the song currently playing.
With the code I have below, if I use the sliderThumb to change the position of the currently playing song, it works great. But I if I click directly on the slidertrack to jump ahead/back, the current position doesnt move and there is some flashing of the current position, but it jumps back to where it was and continues playing the song. This does work if I am in the paused state.
As expected, thumbDrag/Press/Release events are not triggered when the user clicks on the sliderTrack - What events should I be subscribing for to handle this case?

I have a simple application that consists of a HSlider and a list that contains a item renderer with a border container managed by a tile layout. For some reason when moving the slider to reduce the size of the item renderer it only reduce to a certain size and wont reduce any further. I use the same principle in flex 3 (with mx components it works fine).

Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.events:Event to a possibly unrelated type mx.events:SliderEvent.

Is mx.events.SliderEvent still okay to use in a Flex 4.5 application?

I was working with the XML Photo Gallery Thumbnail Tutorial on this site: http:[url]....
And I modified it for my own usage, making it a vertical gallery instead, and had no problems until I came upon the thumbnail images. When I replaced the original thumbs with my new thumbs (that I sized based on width, as it is a vertical gallery) it got all screwed up. The images are of all different shapes. So when it loads up, some of them had huge gaps in between them, and others were even overlapping. So I fixed it by making the heights of all the images the same, resulting in a working thumb gallery, but now half my thumbs are cropped off by the mask. I'm looking for a way to fix it where I still have the same spacing between the images, and that they are all the same width, but can vary in their height. Here's the section of the code I am using:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);[code]....
I'm also trouble figuring something out from the same tutorial, that I want to change. The tutorial uses these "Next" and "Previous" buttons. On the far right hand side, the half-circle buttons are what I assigned this to, but I don't really want them to have that function. I would rather have them function just like how the mouse functions when it rolls over the thumb gallery, except they scroll the thumbs up and down when clicked.

Anyone missed the old simple method for skinning a simple button?
CODE:
The problem im having is that, this method of creating a simple button with skin is being phased out : Infact it is no longer supported in flex 4.5 mobile projects.
So the question: Is there a simple way to perform this, with spark buttons (which is suppose to be the new way to go). As simple as possible.
Basically i only need a button with 2 images : down/over & up. And i want to keep the code as simple as possible : The new skinning methods, seems to really adds way too much lines for something that used to be as simple as the example above.
I am writing a web application that will serve as a configuration for a random data generator that I have written in Java.The values that I set in this application will write to xml. The xml data is updated by a file called simulationParams.as and that file is added to each child in the "viewStack" so that when I change any of those values the simulationConfig file will be automatically updated.The problem is that when I press the randomizeBtn the proper events are fired and the listeners grab those events.My problem exists when I uncheck the randomize button.For some reason an event is triggered or the listener isnt listening so that when I uncheck randomizeBtn the values go back to their last position or value on the slider. Ex. if my initial value is 0 then press randomize the slider will go to 100. The config file updates and all is well.When I uncheck the randomizeBtn, the sliders value goes back 0 but the config file isnt update.The same thing happens when I press the useDefaultBtn for both selected/unselected, nothing gets updated.[code]

View 1 RepliesLet's say you have a large number (N) of spark buttons in your app. Let's also say that your buttons all have very similar skins (size, various effects, etc) - the only difference being the specific png that they use as their BitmapImage. Do you end up with N skin files, all differing by 1 line? Or is there a smarter way to do this while not adding a lot of code when you create the buttons in MXML (in fact, ideally, none).

View 1 RepliesI am trying to programmatically skin a PopUpButton control in Flex Builder, but having no luck. As far as I know this requires writing a custom skin class or creating a modified version the control class itself (since the control is MX and not Spark). Again, just to clarify, I want to programmatically modify the appearance not simply set styling properties or display an image. I've been able to do this programmatically with other MX controls (e.g. tabs in a tab navigator), but not with the PopUpButton.I think part of the problem may be that the control is actually composed of two separate buttons, so you cannot draw just one rectangular area over the whole control.
View 1 RepliesThe issue I am having is creating an application with nearly every component skinned using CSS. The majority of the components are skinned using:Embed(source="file.png");method. The problem I am running into, is flex trying to compile all of the embedded assets into the final swf. As it stands now, my compiled swf stands around 16mb!@@ OUCH. It is a very large application, but not that big. Any ideas on how to load the assets into the application at run time, or on request maybe?

View 1 Replieswe try to develop a flash game engine with several abstraction layers. This flex project contains: an Application (1)-> loading a class (2)-> loading another class (3) which instanciates a Flex component (4).
The loadings uses SWFLoader. The last Flex component (4) is just a Group with AdvancedDataGrid. We do not define skins so I suppose it must take default skin.The problem is that during execution, an error is throwed because default skin for components cannot be found in the Flex component (4). In our case, for the AdvancedDataGrid:
Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.In mx.controls::AdvancedDataGridBaseEx. The guilty command is: getStyle("headerSeparatorSkin"); which returns null
For the moment, we found two solutions :
the first solution is to add the attribute headerSeparatorSkin="spark.skins.SparkSkin" into the AdvancedDataGrid of the Flex component .
I wanna set a custom skin on my progressBar, but it's not working out the way I want it to. My skin has 3 different colors on it (green, yellow, red) and green should show until it's about 50%, then I want the yellow to appear after green and the red at 90% after green and yellow. So at 100% they should all show.The problem is that the ProgressBar only sets the width of my skin so all colors are showing at all times. But if I use the indeterminateSkin but dont set indeterminate to true that doesn't happend.How can I make a skin that doesn't just change width? Atm I'm just using a MovieClip for a skin.
