I've got FormItems with labels, and I'd like for the label to appear on top of the textinput within it rather than to its left, but I don't know where I need to go or what CSS I need to set this.
I am Carlos, I am working on a little App in Flash CS5 but I cant find the way to set a Font Style to a label or button components.
The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
I have a MovieClip button control, I want to change the size of the displayed text of the label. I want to know whether there is a syntax to access the Label object of the MovieClip. I tried getChildAt(i) over the instance of the movie clip; but the label is a String property and is not a child of the movie clip instance.
Below You can see screen-shot of my app. There is no scrollbars at the borders.Here is the screen-shot with scroller set to width and height to 300 pixels.As You can see the scrollbar is not attached to window.
What is the best way to make a multi column form in Flex?My current solution if more than one column is required is to put the form items inside an <s:HGroup> but the alignment isn't the best.
Now the last name form will only appear in the register screen. This would be really useful I think in .NET where you use the page for views like update / insert. I was considering extending the Page element to have a states property using extension methods, and adding the include in to controls. This way I could auto-hide controls based on the current view at render time.
What is even cooler in Flex, is that you can use different handlers / properties based on the current state.
How do you two-way bind an integer to an input field in Flex/FB4? is_admin is an integer : <s:TextInput id="textUserIsAdmin" text="@{user.is_admin}" width="5"/> I receive: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type int. Is there a different input type, or do I have to bind a different way?
when user clicks on Add button, then a pop up button will be opened with certain form elements (like textinput, date field, text area).. When i used 'TAB' inside this form,it is not working.I found in couple of Questions / forums that we need to create an instance of FocusManager and then bring/activate focus for the pop up.But still i didn't see the tab working inside the form.In order to tab order working inside a pop up, what steps we need to follow.
I tried using focusmanager and property like tabfocusenabled, tabenabled and also added taborder inside each form element.Iam using Flash Builder 4.5 and using spark components for development.Is there any workaround for this problem?
I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.
I'm curious how, in ActionScript 3, to parse the font attributes of an HTML formatted content string. Lets take the following example content string:[code]
I want to select a XMLList of nodes by this criteria <Projects>.<project>.@name = x &&<Projects>.<project>.<characteristics>.<characteristic>.<options>.<option>.(@name == y && @value == z) Essentially query by both attributes [name and value] for a given project name
I try to serialize objects with their private attributes, in Flex.
The introspection API does not seem to allow it:
"The describeType() method returns only public members. The method does not return private members of the caller's superclass or any other class where the caller is not an instance."
Is there another way for an instance to know the name of its private members?
I have some xml and I am trying to filter it using e4x. My e4x statement looks like this: model.config.source.fees..fee.(@min<amount).@amount
My xml looks liks this: <flex><fees> <fee type="credit" min="0.00" max="200.00" amount="6.00"/> <fee type="credit" min="200.01" max="370.00" amount="10.00"/> </fees></flex>
When the e4x statement is run, I get an error message: Error #1065: Variable @min is not defined. But if I change my statement to model.config.source.fees..fee.@min it will return an xmllist of all the min attribute values, so min is defined, at least in that statement. Why doesnt the original statement work?
Which mxmlc attributes do I need to replicate the behaviour of Flash Builder 4's Export Release Build?debug=false and optimize=true seems obvious, but doesn't reduce the swf's file size as FB4's Export Release Build does.
I can access the attribute, but if i am selecting "Thread Works" i want only access <product catalog="Thread Works"> with children node , for additem to array collection
Can transitions be added to a source code that uses includeIn and excludeFrom to show/hide elements? It seems that elements are hidden immediately not allowing enough time for the transition to be played.
In this documentation article, a method with visible and includeInLayout properties is used but that would mean I would need to rewrite my MXML code which I'd rather avoid.
In flex/actionscript 3, I can call node.attribute("somename") and get the value of the "somename" atribute of the node. I can also call node.attributes() and get the VALUES of ALL the attributes. But how the heck do I know what attributes to look for?! The application I am creating does not know the format of the XML file in advance. I need a way to know the NAMES of the attributes of the nodes, before I can access them by name!
I have written an Air program that mirrors a directory tree. The problem is that the destination folder structure and content need to be identical - right down to the creationDate and modificaitonDate file attributes. How can I change these file attributes using Adobe Air? I'm able to READ them both just fine, but the properties are read-only. How do I change them?
I have created a style in which i am defining a font family.When i apply this style to label it reflects the font were as there is no change when it is applied to a spark button.I Tried various way to Apply font style but it doesn't work.Other properties work fine except font family. Even i tried creating skin class and set the font family style of label in it. While previewing the skin i can see the changes but when i apply it to buttonApproach 1
If you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...
Is it possible to style the string returned from the labelFunction so I can change color and font of the callout (inside)? Or some other way? (It seems like a big limitation to have that only return a string that is unstylable.)
I'm interested in finding out the best approach to this issue, it's not technically difficult but there must be an elegant solution. Basically i have a form that features mostly text inputs, i would like to change the style of the input boxes based on the current state. I can do this in the mxml on each input...
I've got a comboBox component on the stage, instance name 'combo'. I want to style the text. I followed the adobe instructions, but they seem not work, and I get no errors.
Code: import fl.data.DataProvider; import flash.text.TextFormat; var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
