I would like to right align an icon on a button or tabbarbutton and keep the text left aligned in Flex 4.0 Spark. So far, I've come up with something like the following in my custom skin:
[Code]...
I'm trying to add a cancel icon to my TabBarButtons in Flex 4.0 (Spark), and I've gotten close, but now I'm stuck on getting the icon to be "clickable" I have seen other approaches, like FlexWiz Blog (http://flexwiz.amosl.com/flex/spark-tabs-with-close-button/), but was hoping to figure out something cleaner.
<s:HGroup top="5" right="5" left="5" verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Label id="labelDisplay"
textAlign="left"
[code]....
The icon appears in the tab, however, I can't click it. I also tried a button and it's almost like the parent button container does not allow the child to be clickable. I did play with some parent properties (like super.mouseChildren), but couldn't get it to work.
problem is I have a spark Tabbar, with many forms in each tab. But I have a single global save button.problem is, if I don't open a Tab,it doesn't get initialized and therefore the forms it contains do not exist..
How Can I make it as if the user had clicked on every tab?
Below is my code...
<mx:Style>
CustomDividedBox{
dividerAffordance:10;

i have a tabbar with 10 button. when i change the some buttons visible and includeInLayout property false then tabbar size is not change..it is same as when it has 10 button
View 1 RepliesHow to align the Spark Buttons Icon to the left? / like the icons to be all 3 pixels from the left // I have checked the sking class of the Spark buttons, but they doesnt expose the Icon property for further extending the skin/
View 1 RepliesI have a Spark ButtonBar that has a custom skin, which defines a custom skin for the "middleButton" requirement. My CustomButtonBarSkin has a custom state, minimized, which I want to pass into my middleButton skin so it can modify its design.
Is it possible to do this? I can see that my button skin could use parentDocument.currentState to get the minimized state, but that's really ugly. Any way to pass a skin from the bar to the child button(s)?
I'm building a small Flex UI component that displays a colored square next to a label of text. I want to be able to specify a size for the square and internally adjust the label's properties such that the line height matches the square and the text is vertically centered with respect to the square.
At the moment, I'm using mx.controls.Label for the text. Setting the fontSize style to the square's size does not work, the label then becomes too big. After tracing a couple of values in the debugger, I found that
the line height of the internal text field (sum of the ascent and descent properties of the TextFieldMetrics object obtained through getTextFieldMetircs()) seems to end up about 120% of what I specify a s font size.there's a default "leading" of 2 pixels that I can not change directly at the Label level, this adds to the overall height of the internal text field (getTextFieldMetrics().height)the height of the Label component then is an additional 5 pixels larger than that, I don't know where those come from.
I have a button which I use for sending a message. When the message text is empty, it should not be possible to click the button.
This is all fine and not an issue. The only thing that is bugging me is the fact that I can disable the send button but the image does not get disabled (like I would expect).
Is there a way to do this elegantly because I don't want to provide a sendicon_disabled.png and change it myself (I don't think this should be my job).
I am trying to add different icon on different buttons. I have my skin file ready but not sure if I have to create different skin class for different button. It sounds inefficient.
<s:Button id="pass"
width="110"
height="35"

I have a button (a simple rectangle) and I create a new layer and place text on the first keyframe while in Button Symbol Edit Mode. I now want to align the text in the center of the button. I drag over both the text and the button to select them both and than I open the Align Panel and I choose to align in the center. However, it is not aligning the text in the center and it is also moving the button to the left.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a somewhat elaborate (for me at least) navigation for my site. I have created a bunch of animated MC's to use as nav-buttons, and all that works great. The only issue is that when you mouse over the MC-buttons, the cursor stays as an arrow instead of turning into the little hand that always happens with links. The links work, but no little hand. Do I have to have a "hit area" defined in order to get the hand icon to popup or what?
View 7 RepliesI want to extract/read the button icon image as a Flex image component, then apply transform filters to it to make it black/white and then apply image as an icon to another button. So far I can get the icon out as an Object by doing this: var iconImg:Object = myBtn.getStyle("icon"); Not sure how to convert that Object to an image.

View 1 RepliesUntil now, my solution for a disabled button's icon was to have a second, greyscale icon and swap the icons based on the button's enabled value. Obviously this is very hackish.
I'd like to drill down into the button's icon and apply some kind of greyscale filter when the button is disabled and remove the filter when the button is re-enabled. I tried a couple of things, but I don't know enough about Flash graphics to really have a good idea about what to do.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Ideally, I'd like a Flex 3 solution (since most of my apps are still mx/spark mixed), but Flex 4 would be OK too.
Use Flex 4.5.1 and when add icons to the button is so curve effect of scaling. Prompt how to make a proportional scaling icons?[code]
View 2 RepliesWhen setting the icon to a Button, a Class of an image is needed. This can be done very simply by embeding an image. But what I would like to do is use an image known only at runtime.More exactly I can not download an image from an external source, obtain it bitmapData or something else, convert it and assign it as the icon style for a Button.So my problem is that for the Flex components that need an image, a Class needs to be assigned, and I can not use an external image to download it, to convert it in some way and assign it
View 1 RepliesI have a VBox inside which I have 4 HBoxes. The second level HBox is initially hidden.When I click the label, 'Show more Options', the second level HBox is displayed.Now I have the space occupied by the 'second level HBOx' empty and the 'search' button appaers below the space.My first question is, Is there a way to position the Search Button in such a way that, the space is not there and after the 'Show more Options' label is clicked, the 'Second Level HBox' appears?And the second question is, Can I position the Search Button at the center of the page. Is there any method to center the contents of a HBox of a VBox?This is my code:
<mx:Form x="47" y="219" width="80%" >
<mx:VBox id="searchBox" >
<mx:HBox id="searchTitle" width="100%" height="20" backgroundColor="#2680D5">

I have a series of buttons, and as some of you may know, the text on the label is always centered. I just want to know if there is a way to make it left justified.I'm just using the button component in Flash CS5.5. In the properties there is a Label option, i forget the name of now, but it had "left, right, top, middle, etc" but this didn't seem to change anything.

View 2 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I adopted the tsunami effect that i've got from this link [URL] but the problem is how can i plug the title on each icon, showing up on an icon when i point on it (on rollOver)

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.

View 1 Repliesi have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
var btn:Button = new Button;
btn.label = "Print";
So I had an interesting request from a client the other day. Basically, he wanted the button (which looks like a sticker) to peel off as the mouse approaches the button. So from the outside of the hover point, it would peel a little. As the mouse gets closer, the peel animation would peel more (or less, depending on the mouse position) until it is 'peeld' off the page and sort of hovering above the background when the mouse is finally over the button.
Does anyone know of some custom classes that might achieve this? It seems like it would be making use of the new 3D in flash10, but I haven't had much time to experiment with 3D in flash.
