Flex :: StopEventPropagation Beyond Current Component
Mar 29, 2011
I have a TextInput inside a spark Item Renderer. I need to undo some behavior in a library I'm using by stopPropagation of the mouseDown and mouseUp event for the TextInput. However, I would like the TextInput itself to handle such events normally - otherwise the caret to cursor transitions don't seem to be properly handled.
Edit: ok, here's some code to explain what's going on (although it's completely unrelated from what I'm doing, so it's not an exact depiction of my specific situation). As I mentioned above I need to be able to stop the propagation of mouseDown and mouseUp from the TextInput to a component up the food chain - event.stopPropagation() in mouseDown and mouseUp for the TextInput does the trick. However, it messes up the caret / cursor handling for the TextInput itself. Try the code below with or without the event.stopPropagation() and you should see what I mean.

I hope I have worded the question ok. I know that you can pass the 'id' of the component but I'm just wondering if there is a more generic way. I have tried using 'this' (shown in example below) but the 'this' keyword refers to the application.

I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?

I'm attempting to use Flash for displaying "scrolls" on our educational access channel. I have an announcement on each frame, which has a 7 sec delay, and a footer that displays the current time. What I would like to do, using the vars the Hours and the Minutes trigger a command that at a set time, like 8:20, it would jump to another swf file that might contain a video playback component. I can't seem to come up with the right combination to trigger it a set time. Here is what the frame 1 AS contains.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var wT:uint = 1000; //wT = waitingTime
var ttL:uint = 1; //ttL = times to loop
function customTimer (timeToWait:int = 1):void {

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

I have two components. One is called "InsideComp" and one is called "OutsideComp". OutsideComp has InsideComp as one piece of its component, and in my main MXML file, I have embedded an instance of OutsideComp. How do I access a public variable of InsideComp within my main MXML file?In Actionscript, I could just do something like:OutsideComp.InsideComp.valToChange = 5; But I dont know how to do it in MXML. I know this is probably an easy question.

I have a component with a public variable declared
[Bindable]
public var mnuSource:String;
When I extend this component, I can reference mnuSource (it compiles) but Runtime complains about the property not being accessible (error 1056).
How do you modify / declare component properties so they are actually available to other components?

my application needs to allow users to insert rows below the current datagrid row. My solution is to to add a row to the dataproviders collection. This works, but the row does not appear beneath the current row the user clicked on.The Datagrid has a default sort order (date ASC), which re-orders the data...so this seems to affect the position of the row in the grid.

I'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPservice accurately retrieves all the data.
However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script.

I am trying to work with a global variable in Flex and it does not appear to be working correctly. In my default mxml file I declare the following
public var appID:int;
This variable keeps track of the session ID across my application for SQL purposes. On another mxml page I call the following code which should update the global variable to the current ID.
// Get the ID
sqlStatement.text =
"SELECT Max(id)FROM applications";
sqlStatement.execute();
var result:SQLResult;
result = sqlStatement.getResult();
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID = result.data[0];
Lastly I run a SQL Update query using the ID as a parameter. My problem is that the FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.appID is always 0, for some reason the global variable never gets updated, I have checked to ensure that result.data[0] is correct but the value never gets passed to the global variable.

I have provided an ArrayCollection to a List, works fine, scroll and sweet.
I am able to access the carretIndex (though not necessarily the ones in view) by
list.caretIndex
Is it possible to access the list of items currently visible in the List.
What I am curious to know, is how can I can access (read) the first (or any of the) item in a given View port of the list.

I am trying to figure out why I am getting an error when using the chromeColor (or other spark style related items):
<s:Button x="10" y="208" label="CALL" width="185" fontWeight="bold" id="bCall" chromeColor="#F90000"/>
This is the error:
The style 'chromeColor' is only supported by type 'spark.components.Button' with the theme(s) 'spark'.
Yet in project - properties, the theme is set to Spark. I also tried setting it to Halo and then back to Spark. Here is my app definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="800" minHeight="600" width="100%" height="100%">
I have seen references that define the mx namespace as "xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo", but then my mx components break (TabNavigator for example) - not sure if that would fix it anyway. I is using flex 4.1 library (I believe the project was originally created when flex builder was at 4.0 if that matters).
No other libraries included.
Project - properties is set to MX+Spark.
Also, if I remove that chromeColor, the project compiles, BUT there are warnings such as: The style 'borderAlpha' is only supported by type 'spark.components.TitleWindow' with the theme(s) 'spark'. Flex Problem (and others - borderColor, cornerRadius, dropShadowVisible).

Is there a way to get a list of all the skin classes that are in the current application? I'm using Flex 4.5.1.
Here is the loop that I'm using now to get all the skins,
for each (var item:Object in styleManager.typeHierarchyCache) {
for (label in item) {
if (label=="spark.components.supportClasses.Skin" ||

Apparently there's a problem with the nagivateToUrl function in Flex, namely that it tends to get blocked by the popup blockers in some browsers. A project I've recently joined is using a workaround for Firefox using browser sniffing, but a new feature would be a lot cleaner to implement if I could drop this. whether this problem still exists with current Firefox versions? What about Firefox 3.6?

I've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
