Flex :: User Interface - Title Window Goes Out Of Accessible Area?
Jul 2, 2011
I have a strange issue- I use a title window to create a message to the user. The user has the ability to move the title window around the screen so that the main screen is visible.However if the user were to move the title window way too much, it can actually go outside the browser accessible area- the user has no option but to close the browser and start again. How do we ensure that the title window movement is limited, such that the title bar is always available for control?
I might not have worded this right- pls check the attached image.
currently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.This then streams to one of the windows.I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.This works fine to a point.Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.I want to create the video instances on the page where:Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.
I am adding a tab navigator to a title window here. Once the title window is closed, it can be reopened using the button.But on opening the title window second time in this manner ,the content of the children of the Tab navigator(here, a label) is not visible.
I have create a game and added keydown event on Stage but but problem is user need to click on stage then it start capturing keydown event. I want that when game window open after that user don't need to click on flash stage area for unable keydown event..
Despite adding: source="myScript.as" (that basically feeds the main.mxml file)
to my TitleWindow component MXML file (which I instantiate from the main.mxml file) the variables defined in myScript.as appear to be null hence I can't populate my text fields in the title window, even though those variables work fine in the main.mxml.
I'm trying to put my components in a window container that can be closed by "x" moved on the stage, resized and so on. And I wonder which is the best way to do it. I want to use a skin class and the component class. The "solution" that is not working looks like this
I have a flex 3 application with 2 titlewindows. When I compile it with the flex 4.1 sdk in flash builder, the titlewindows show up as mirror images of themselves with all text invisible (i.e alpha = 0).
The flex title window component is nice and all, but before it shows up it insists on blurring out the background of your window if it's set to modal. What if I want it to just show up immediately or at least speed it up so that the user doesn't have to wait around to enter data. Am I going to have to build a custom component based on TitleWindow to get this or not have it be modal? If I were to do that could I extend current TitleWindow or just copy out the source directly?
What does a web designer need to migrate to Flex quickly? A: tell me how I can get good fast B: tell me why it would be unrealistic to learn Flex quickly I want here both sides of it.
TELL ME WHAT I NEED - Projects I need to complete in Flex - Tutorials - Key concepts - Other technologies in a nutshell (webservices, SOAP, AJAX, HTML5 etc.)

This Flex reference should include everything needed for beginning Adobe Flash Builder 4
I want to show the user a confirmation box when they deselect a checkbox. My code works although I think it is a bit of a hack. I listen to the checkbox click and then show the alert. Depending on the result I then set the checkbox to be checked again.
the code is specific to cb1 and cannot be reused for other checkboxes the checkbox is deselected when the alert shows. Then when the user clicks no the checkbox is selected again. stop the uncheck event if the user clicks no on the alert box. Is it possible to intercept this in Flex?
I have a PopUpButton that only contains 2 actions. Both actions are complete opposites of each other and switches a boolean property on an object from true to false or false to true. To avoid redundancy, I've only displaying one action at a time. So, if the property is true, the action to change it to true is not shown.
If my PopUp menu has a single option, I would like to remove the menu from being shown and basically revert the PopUpButton to act and look like a regular button. So far, I haven't really found a good way to do that in ActionScript without adding, removing or modifying styles for the button.
Is there a nice way to simply tell the button to hide the PopUp toggle? PS: In my specific example, YES it might be easier if I just used a toggle button. However, I want to reuse this button when dealing with an Array of objects. If I have more than one, the property could be true and false at the same time. In that case, I want to show the menu so they can choose what option to set all the object's properties to.
I have a generic function to build rows of controls (each row comprising of sliders, radio buttons, reset buttons, text display) etc, and some functionality to change underlying data based on these
As I didn't want to write specific code for each row, I had code written by which I can detect the row on which there has been a mouseevent, and though the row access each individual control
I would like to have a spark datagrid that wordwraps all rows where relevant. At the moment it appears like the width of a cell is dependent on the contents of the first row and then subsequent rows are word wrapped. For example:
[Code].....
How can I get the datagrid to dynamically resize to 100% of the container width and for wordwrapping to happen on all rows? (not just rows after row 1)
How to give a ms word like interface to a user so that he can enlarge and contract the display objects like Images, canvas, Hrules etc. at runtime in an web application?
I've been trying to get a bit of control over the "getURL" action. I want the window that pops up to be a particular size, centered and have the maximize button accessible (it always seems to be greyed-out).
heres the code I've been using:
on (release) { getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.google.com','thewin','height=600,width=400,max imize=yes,toolbar=no,sc

I've tried a few of the components that are supposed to make this easy but, I haven't found one that works properly yet.
How are you able to grab the Window NT Logged User Name using Flex/Actionscript. I have worked with attaining these credentials in ASP.NET, but I am new to the realm of Flex and need some assistance
ASP.NET code looks as follows Getting the User Name : using three ways we can get the User Name using C#
I am trying to change title of main window, but without luck.
I tried use external call and javascript, but it always shows, that Adobe Flash Player stopped, because of security. Same with getURL. I am trying to implement website into my .NET application, so It's unacceptable to have these errors.
I would like to know, how to change title via ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0.
I have code that opens a new window with the image of "pic1_popup.jpg" inside. Both the jpg and the size of the window are the same. The code below is wrapped in a URLRequest and submitted with a navigateToURL method.
When the window displays, the title bar displays "pic1_popup.jpg" and the size of the image.
What I need is to replace the title with "Enlargement"
Within the argument string, I tried title=Enlargement both with single quotes around Enlargement and without. Neither one changed the title.[code]...
I need to do some updates to components after a user has resized the browser window. Is there a good solution to determine when a user has completed resizing? I wasn't able to find any flex events that would cover this case.
<script language="javascript"> <!-- function changeTitle(t){
[Code]....
The result is - the page title stays the same, there are no errors - but i do get an alert that says "changed! Hello!" So the function is being fired, and the variable is being sent. It just will not change the page title.
If i call the function in javascript - so just under the function add - changeTitle("good") - it works fine, changing the title.
I need to know how to shake the popup browser window title bar (like in an earthquake) using just action scripting. I found some tutorials on this effect but they involve html which I can't/don't know how to use coz my animation is in a cd rom not web.
From a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
i've made a flash movie in res 600 * 300, now i want to keep this res don't want the user to be able to expand the browser window or change the res or anything how do i do this?
Do you know any good User Interface libraries for ActionScript? And I'm not interested in Flex: it's big and you can't customize anything at it except for colors and fonts which I don't care about.I am looking for a decent UI library which is good for game development: custom shaped buttons, stuff like that. More customization that Flex ever had that is.
I want to program a language learning Program for kids. I want it to have animations, quizzes with drag and drop and a lot of graphic effects. i want to know which language is good for client side and which is good for desktop application. I am programming with java.
What is the difference between dragging a movieClip to stage from the user interface and inserting it from code? What I mean is....I noticed that if I drag a movie clip from the library to the stage, give it an instance name ('xx'), I can access it from code using "this.xx". However, if I add the movieClip from code using:
var ch = new MovieClip(); ch.name = 'xx'; addChild(ch); I cannot access it using this.xx, but I have to access it using this.getChildByName('xx');
