Transparent List Component Background?
is there a way to make the list component in MX to have a clear transparent background?
My project consists of a multiselection screen which stores info into an aray on submittion. this is information is then reffrenced to possible outcomes of the options and inserts the different outcomes into paragraphs in the list.

So can I make the background transparent, or do I need to make a dynamic text box to display the outcome results.

If I do need a text box, when doing a for loop to parse an aray, what is the character I need at the end of the statement to return after each textline inserted.

example.
for(i=0;i<comments.length;i++){
textfield.text = textfield.text + comment[i] "i want a return character here";
]

List Component, Transparent Background
Anyone know what CSS declaration to use to make the background of a LIST component transparent?

I've tried using the following:

Code:
_root.myList.setStyle("backgroundColor", "transparent");

Code:
_root.myList.setStyle("backgroundColor", transparent);
Somewhere on some Google search result page I also got a hint that this could be used too:

Code:
_root.myList.setStyle("backgroundColor", undefined);
But none of this works. I know the same style declaration works on all other components like TextArea and all, but it doesn't seem to work on the List. Any ideas, please?

Transparent List Component's Background

Your inputs are welcome

note:i said transparent but a ALPHA effect would be ok too

List Component - Transparent Background Color
Hi,

I'm wondering is it possible to set the background color of the list component to transparent (alpha) with setStyle method.

Example:

Code:

list.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0xFF00FF");

If it's not possible, can you tell me which component to skin, because if I open the HelloTheme.fla for skining, the list component is not there, maybe because the list component is combined from different components?
I know that I have to skin the scrollbar too.

Thanks in advance,

bye Mario :D

(Flash MX Or 8) List/List Component Issues
Hello all.

I recently completed Kirupa's "Creating a Listbox" tutorial, (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/listbox.htm) but have been having a difficult time modifying the event attributes of each list item. Basically, I want to click on an item and have an object on the stage move to a unique xy coordinate. I can get the object to move already (object._x = object._x +10, but unfortunately ALL items on the list execute this script command. I've tried fooling around with the code to get each item to do a unique movement but...well, clearly I haven't succeeded yet.

I'm a Flash nooby and help in the form of specifics would be greatly appreciated. If you can provided modified code from the tutorial to move an object to a unique positions that's even better.

Thanks.

List Component. Help. Looked Everywhere. Button And List.
Trying to use a list component and a button. When user selects something from list component and clicks button it takes them to new page, if user doesnt select something from list and hits button, (this is where my question lies) I want it to do nothing and setFocus to list component.

Here is how I am going about it now: New if statement (however it still transfers user if nothing is selected from list component) How can I get it to not transfer? I have tried rewritting this many ways, searched all over the nets, and Nada.

Code:
var arUrl:Array=["/browsecategory.aspx?cat=1","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=2","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=3","/browsecategory.aspx?cat=4"];

var provider:Array=[{label:"Option 1",data:0},{label:"Option 2",data:1},{label:"Option 3",data:2},{label:"Option 4",data:3} ];

mcList.dataProvider=provider;
var obj:Object={};
obj.click=function(eo:Object)
{
var count:Number=mcList.selectedItem.data;
getURL(arUrl[count],"_blank");
trace("count="+arUrl[count]);
}
but.mcSubmit.addEventListener("click",obj);/////here is where I am sending off
if(mcList.selectedIndex == undefined) {
setFocus.mcList;
}
So this thing works perfectly, however if user hasnt selected anything how can I get it to not transfer and setFocus?

I have tried setting if to check it for - 1 (since starts at 0) set to 0? Any ideas please help. Thanks in advance MT

'list' Event Of List Component
oops i mean 'change' event of list component

Hi guys/gals. Ive made an xml/list component driven mp3 player as can be viewed at http://www.flashmatics.co.uk/blog/sa...mp3player.html

When someone selects a new song from the list that songs starts to play. Everything is working fine.

I now want to add an extra bit of functionality i.e When one song finishes i want the next song to start playing. But this means I have to tell the list component that a change has occured as well (even though there has been no user interaction to cause this 'change'). How would I go about this. Here is a snippet of relevant code.

Code:
mySound.onSoundComplete = function():Void{

//from here i need to tell the component a change has occured and to move it
//to the next song in the menu
}

//create a listener for the list component
var compListener:Object = new Object();
list_comp.addEventListener("change", compListener);

compListener.change = function(info:Object):Void{
//how do i get this to move to the next track?
}
Thanks for any help in advance. I dont actually need the whole code or anything but rather a point in the right direction..cheers

Loading XML List Into RMP List Component
I have several XML lists to load into a RMP List Component List Box.
I was told the code should be like:

myButton.onRelease=function(){
myList.load(String(search.text));
}

So I made a button and named the instance "myButton"
Add the list component called "myList"
The XML files are named test1.xml, test2.xml etc.

I tried variations of:

myButton.onRelease=function(){
myList.load(String(test1.xml));
}

Result....

Nota

I think I may need a Listener or I am not sure...
Can anybody please advise me what I am doing incorrectly?

Remove Part Of The Alpha Of A Background
Apologies for the confusing title.

I will try and explain.

Ok first of all I have a picture, and on top of that is a layer whose alpha is set to 85%.

Now another layer I have is a graphic of a mobile phone.

Now whilst using the mobile phone as a cursor, by using startDrag, I am wondering is the following possible.

How would I go about making the centre of the phone remove the alpha area that it is on. For example, the entire picture looks white-ish, but my idea is that when I place the drag the mobile phone over the picture, a small section of the image becomes clear, i.e. the alpha is removed.

Does anyone have any pointers or know how to complete this?

Again my apologies if I havent explained myself any better.

[F8] Remove Background From Camera/Webcam Input
I'd like to take a webcam input and remove the background (i.e. non-moving areas) for something I'm working on, rather like one of the examples on the gskinner gallery if anyone has seen it or the Nissan Interactive thing.

Is this technique fairly easily achievable? I have seen a tutorial on the Adobe site which explains how to display motion detection which seems quite understandable. I would have thought some modification of that would achieve the desired effect.

How Do I Remove The Background From A Movie / Sound Problems
Apologies, not really sure what Iâ€™m doingâ€¦

How do I remove the background from a movie I made?

I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.

The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but canâ€™t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller) and not the background?

I can get round it by changing the background colour, but surely there must be another way.

Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering sound, any idea what could cause that?

Thanks, and Thanks!

Remove Background From Imported Vector (EPS) Images
Okay, I am stuck. I will give the first person who can correctly get me past this problem one free year of web hosting on my server (reasonable bandwidth constraints will apply). Now on to my problem.

I have to import clipart (all EPS format and a lot of it), So far that works just fine, the image background is transparent (so far so good), the interior of the clipart is white and the lines are black, I have figured out how to change the line color from black to other colors,

What I need help with ---- I need the ability to set the white interior to transparent as well as change it to other colors.

This needs to be done in Actionscript. If it would help I can email you a sample EPS image. To request an image just shoot me an email to cnash@ix.netcom.com.

Thanks, and I am not joking about the hosting if you can use it and before I get questions about hosting, we are not a hosting company, we have private servers only for our development clients.

How To Remove Only The Background Of A Video Clip In Flash
The problem which I am facing is that I have a video clip which has a black background. Now the website which I am working on has images in it. When i load this video clip externally by the action loadMovie("fire.swf", 2); the black background of the video clip also starts showing. I want this video clip to be transparent "without the black background".

I have googled it, but all helps explains the "transparent Flash overlay", which is done with the help of HTML tags i.e
<param NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">.

I want to do it in flash, not in HTML or DHTML

How Do Your Remove White Background When Movie Loads In Browser?
Hello
I hope someone can help me with this question. I have seen on other flash websites that the background that they chose for the movie is the only one that appears.
On my movie, let's say I choose black as my background in flash, I complete my movie and then put it up on the web, my problem, is when I load the movie to view it, a white background appears first where the movie will be played, how do I eliminate this white background?
As always, I appreciate the help.

[f8] Remove Component With As
I am having problems removing some movieclips - I have tried the whole swapDepth thing and I think the reason it doesn't work for two of my movieclips is because they contain components.
The movieclips are created dynamically - as are the combobox components.
So I figure if I delete/remove the components I can then remove the movieclips.
but I can't find anyway to make it work
I've tried delete(bkgCombo) and it doesn't work, and searches on here and online, and in the help provide no clues.
Cheers

TileList Component - How To Remove Spacing?
So I've created a tilelist component.

Remove TextArea Component With Actionscript?
I've used something like...

Code:
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.TextArea, "tA"+ntA, ntA);
... to attach a TextArea component to the stage. Now I want to remove it with a button onRelease event, something like...

Code:
btnRemove_btn.onRelease = function(){
// this._parent["tA"+ntA].removeClassObject(); ???
}
...which obviously doesn't work. Perhaps the answer is in the manual, but I tried and tried and just couldn't understand. Could someone please explain how to do this?

Also,while I know how to embed fonts inside a textInput field, I'm really stumped about how to do it with a TextArea component that's been created like the one above. Do I have to use a stylesheet?
