Flash :: Datagird Component Link?

Link In Listbox Component
Hi,

I am using a listbox to display a few paragraphs of scrolling text. Within this text I would like to have a single word on one of the lines appear in a different colour to the rest of the line, and function as a link that will open a new browser window if clicked. It would be nice if the cursor could change to a pointing finger when over the link too.

I have found tutorials online that explain how to use the data property of a line in the box to have the whole line function as a link, but I can't figure out how to isolate a specific portion of a line to be the active part.

All help and advice greatfully received!

thanks

Link In Menu Bar Component
Hi, I've been searching through the forums, and although this seems to be a common question, I cannot find any answers anywhere! So here goes nothing:

How to script links for the menu bar component!! In the Flash Help, it tells you how to control when something was pressed but it seems to use some objects from the UIObject Class that I am 0 familiar with and well, I dont know, it didnt seem to work for me, Im kinda confused as to what are the parameters for the "menu bar" component, and what are the labels, etc etc... Basically all I need to know though is how to make a link for a main label and how to make a link for a submenu section... Geez, for as many times as I've seen this question asked on the web with no reply, this could almost be a sticky

hehe ok thank you!

Adding Link List Component
I just read the tutorial on this site called "Making Life Easier With XML" by Hasan Otuome. I was just wondering what code I would need to add to make each state linked to a URL. So that if you select a specific state, then a new window opens up to that URL. I know it involves href, but I'm completely new to this. Any help would be appreciated. The code from the tutorial is below.

//create all the variables you'll need
var i:Number;
var nodes:Array = new Array();
var states:Array = new Array();
var stateDP:Array = new Array();

//setup your XML connection
var sXML:XML = new XML();
sXML.ignoreWhite = true;
sXML.onLoad = addStates;
sXML.load("states.xml");

//let the fun begin
function addStates(){
//use the "nodes" array to refer to the xml kiddies
nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<nodes.length; i++){
//loop through "nodes" and add each "lbl" attribute to the "states" array
states.push(nodes[i].attributes.lbl);
//now fill the comboBox's data provider with the contents of the "states" array
stateDP.addItem({label:states[i], data:states[i]});
}
}

//bind the comboBox to its data provider
cmbState.dataProvider = stateDP;

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<items>
<item id="1" lbl="AL" />
<item id="2" lbl="AR" />
<item id="3" lbl="AK" />
<item id="4" lbl="AZ" />
<item id="5" lbl="CA" />

Link To A Specific Frame Of A Flash Movie From An HTML Link
How do I link to a specific frame of a Flash movie from an HTML link?

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.

I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.

You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com

The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.

I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.

I will provide the source if needed...

Thanks!

Html Link And Flash Link On Intro Page
I've noticed that a lot of Flash sites have some kind of detector to see if you have the flash plug in. Is that scripting?
Plus, I see that the intro page of ones site will have an HTML and a FLASH option to choose from to enter the site. Would that be enabled in the publish settings of Flash 5? I am curious to know how that is done because I am designing this young lady's site and she wants the viewers to have the options of HTML or Flash.

Thanks!

Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.

so,

I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.

When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Hide Cursor When Over Text Link (TextEvent.LINK)
Hi there!

In my application, i have custom graphic cursor. I use Mouse.hide() 'onMouseMove' . There are some special cases though, when the default mouse cursor is still visible. Like for example when:
(1) rolling over an input texfield
(2) rolling over a link: <a event:blabla>link</a>
..in html-formatted textField.

The latter is worst. Is there a way to hide the default mouse cursor in these cases? I haven't found any so far..

Cheers!

Content To Appear In Textarea Component Based Off Of ComboBox Component Selection?
Hello all:

I have a comboBox component with different values like so:

1-10
11-19
ETC.

Depending on what value is chosen from the comboBox, a certain value needs to appear in the text area. Do I need to use a listener for this? If not, any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Speed Of My Button Component Versus Adobe Component
I've been happily creating my button component and things have been going well until I got to the point of creating the mouse down state.

I've modeled the structure of my components very similar to the Adobe supplied components, but I notice my component is not as attentive to mouse events as the Adobe components. I can click my mouse over one of my buttons fast enough that the button doesn't register the click.

But no matter how fast I click the Adobe button, it always registers the clip.

Is the speed difference the fact that my button doesn't use the Component shim? I plan to either use a shim or convert the component itself into a compiled clip, but for development purposes, I thought it best to reference the UIcomponent source.

I would appreciate your thoughts,

Thanks, Jennifer

AS3 Component Instantiation With Dynamic Variable Component File Name
Hello! I am passing some variables from my server to a Flex application. One of these is the name of an MXML component that will be opened in a pop up. Since I am doing this dynamically is there a way to set up an AS3 variable so that say (in pseudocode):

ActionScript Code:
// serverSideVariables['mxml_component'] = "Dialog"
var myClassNameVar:String = serverSideVariables['mxml_component'];

// then I want to do something like this:
// in static code this would look like: var myClassToInstantiante:Dialog = new Dialog();
var myClassToInstantiante:myClassName = new myClassName();

Is this possible?? Thanks!

Checkbox Component To Toggle ComboBox Component
I've got a script that dynamically generates a grid of checkboxes and combo boxes. I'm trying write a handler to toggle the Combo boxes on or off when a user clicks on the corresponding checkbox. To do this, I add a property called "bound_to" when duplicating the checkboxes. The "bound_to" property contains the instance name of the combo box that I want the checkbox to control. So here's my onChange handler:

Code:
function toggleComboBox(component) {
trace(component._name+" has been selected ");
trace("bound to "+ eval(component.bound_to));

if (eval(component.bound_to).getEnabled == true) {
trace("enabled must be true for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(false);
} else {
trace("enabled is false for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(true);
}

}
My trace actions show that the correct instance names are saved correctly and this function works to enable the combo boxes, but it won't disable them. The problem is with the IF statement I think. It always returns false so I can only toggle the combo boxes on, but not off again. Is my syntax wrong or am I doing this the wrong way?

Component Themes - Changing Button Component
I am creating a custom theme, or skin, for my components and I have figured out how to edit most pieces but the most used is the most elusive.

Does anyone know how to edit the look of the button when creating a new theme?

I am finding that you have to edit the ClassObject but Macromedia's help is very confusing, they talk aobut creating a button dynamically then about the ClassObject but don't put all the directions in one place.

Maybe someone knows a good tutorial

Thanks

Newbie Needs Component Help (Input Text Component)
Very easy i am sure.

I have a input text component on my stage. When it is CHANGED I want to move to the frame specified. IE 4 frames in target movie.

When I put 4 into the text box, I want my actionscript to go

x = this.text;
this.parent.targetswf.goToFrame(x);
x = "";

Only problem is I cant seem to use the on Change event? It says I need to use an InstanceName.AddListener. Can someone explain this to me as I couldn't find any help regarding this ?

Thanks

Component Inspector For Custom Component Questions
Hi --

I am wondering if it is possible to make the component inspector somewhat
dynamic for use with a custom component. For example, I have a component
where the user can choose to have a value set automatically or the user can
have it set manually and enter a range for this value in two component
parameters. Is it possible to hide to parameters in the component inspector
when a third parameter is set to TRUE and to show those two when the third
is set to FALSE?

Thanks

UICombo Box Component Calling A Calendar Component
Hi I am trying to use a Combo Box that will call a calander component with the onChangeHandler.
I want it so when the user clicks the combo box a calander shows up, the user then selects there date and that date will be the current label value of the combo box.

I am using Flash MX and actionscript 1.0 so this is what i tried with no succes and was just a basic shot in the dark.

CODEfunction cmbHandler(component){
    var cal = FCalendar;
    _parent.createEmptyMovieClip(cal_mc,1);
    cal_mc.loadMovie(cal);

    component.addItem("Select Date",cal_mc);
    component.setLabel(cal.getSelectedItem());
}

[Component] Targeting Flash 6 ScrollPane Component
Hey All,

Been a while... hopefully somebody can provide some insight into what I am missing here.

I have a Flash 6 ScrollPane - yes, I know it's old, but it is also easy to do custom skinning. I had data loading into it from the library by using createEmptyMovieClip and then attachMovie to grab an MC from the library.

This all worked fine until I had to place the ScrollPane into a MC in the library, dynamically attach it to the stage and then assign the content. Now I can only get my content MC to display on top of the ScrollPane, not in it. Here is a sample:

ActionScript Code:
function showPop(popType) {
popContainer = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("popWindow_mc", 350);
popWindow = popContainer.attachMovie("pop", "pop_mc", 1);

popWindow.pop_sp.boundingBox_mc._visible = false;

popScrollClip = popWindow.createEmptyMovieClip("scrollClip_mc", 400);
popScrollContent = popScrollClip.attachMovie("scrollMC_disclaimer", "scrollContent_mc", 1);

popWindow.pop_sp.setScrollContent(popScrollClip);
};

"pop" is the linkage name of the MC that contains the ScrollPane and "scrollMC_disclaimer" is the linkage name of the MC that is the content to be scrolled.

Any ideas as to what I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Creating A Component Within A Component Class
Basically I have a component with I have associated a class with - and then attached it to stage using attachMovie and make references to it using its linked name which works great. However within this class I want to attach another movie clip component - which works however how to I reference this second component from this class using linkage doesnt work neither does assigning it to variable. The only way is to call the class - which gives undesired results.

What is the proper way to have a component within a component?

[F8] Tree Component Within Accordian Component
Hello all!

I've done a navigation scheme that uses both the accordion and tree components. The data being gathered is from an XML file. The only problem i'm having is getting the tree components to display the data that they're being provided with. I did traces and I found out that they are getting the data...but it simply isn't being displayed. Can anyone take a look at the FLA and see what's going wrong?

Window Component With Loader Component
I have the SWF loading into a shell using a Loader component. Within one swf is a trigger for a window - which ,suprise suprise, doesn't work. It works fine if I access the swf directly just not when loaded through the shell. I have added the component to the shell fla and then although a window component loads up, the content (which is linked in the library) is not found. Anyone come across this before?

Attach Code

correctAnswerBtn.onRelease = function() {
var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"CorrectAnswers"});
my_win.title = "Correct Answers";
var winListener:Object = new Object();
winListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
my_win.deletePopUp();
};
winListener.complete = function(evt_obj:Object) {
my_win.setSize(my_win.content._width+7, my_win.content._height+32);
my_win._x = ((Stage.width/2)-(my_win._width/2));
my_win._y = ((Stage.height/2)-(my_win._height/2));
};
my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener);
my_win.addEventListener("complete", winListener);

Menu Component And Window Component
I have a dilema. I'm trying to create a flash application that is basically a rich text editor

well, I'm trying to make a menu component to open a window component which has a close button

here is a part of my code (attempt 1):

PHP Code:

import mx.controls.Menu;import mx.controls.MenuBar;import mx.managers.PopUpManager;import mx.containers.Window;var my_mb:MenuBar;var myProfile:Menu = my_mb.addMenu("My Profile");myProfile.addMenuItem({label:"View/Edit Profile Information", instanceName:"newInst"});myProfile.addMenuItem({label:"See My Profile", instanceName:"openInst"});//THE LISTENERSvar mbListener:Object = new Object();mbListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) { var menuItem_obj:Object = evt_obj.menuItem; switch (menuItem_obj.attributes.instanceName) { case "openInst": var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"openDialog"}); var winListener:Object = new Object(); winListener.click = function() { my_win.deletePopUp(); }; my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener); break;}

The problem with this script: when I test the movie, the movie freezes and Flash asks do you want to disable the script and etc..

so I tried doing the same by attachMovie() :

PHP Code:

//THE STUFF FROM BEFORE switch (menuItem_obj.attributes.instanceName) { case "openInst": _root.attachMovie("Window","openInst",this.getNextHighestDepth()); openDialog.setSize(623.9,310) openDialog.closeButton = true; openDialog.contentPath = "openDialog"; openDialog.title = "Open Document";//HERE IS THE PROBLEM: openDialog.close = function() { trace("Closing..."); removeMovieClip(_level0.openInst); } break;

The problem from the 2nd Code Box: I can't close the box. When I press the X, it won't close it.

So...basically what I'm asking is...How do I call a Window Component from a Menu Bar Component and let the Window Component also close correctly when the user closes it.

Thanks in advance for your great help!

AS2: Menu Component & Window Component
well, I had a question Yesterday, and posted in the Flash 8 Section of this forum...well, I have a question now...When I open a Window Component(with a movie clip inside it ...ofcourse) via Popup Manager from the Menu Component, the Window opens up, but I can't go back to the menu and open it. Any suggestions on how?

Here is a part of my code (which I believe will summarize the rest of my code):

PHP Code:

import mx.controls.Menu;import mx.controls.MenuBar;import mx.managers.PopUpManager;import mx.containers.Window;var myProfile:Menu = my_mb.addMenu("File");myProfile.addMenuItem({label:"Open", instanceName:"openInstance"});var mbListener:Object = new Object();mbListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) { var menuItem_obj:Object = evt_obj.menuItem; switch (menuItem_obj.attributes.instanceName) { case "seemyProfileInstance": var my_win:MovieClip = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(evt_obj.target, Window, true, {title:"Open Document", contentPath:"openDialog", closeButton:true}); my_win.setSize(320, 240); var winListener:Object = new Object(); winListener.click = function() { my_win.deletePopUp(); }; my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener); break;

Loader Component And List Component
Hello everyone,

using AS2.0 does any one know if i can push or add a list component inside a loader component?

This would allow me to add as many List components as i want "dynamiclly" while letting the loader component grow as needed with the usuability of the scroll bar on a small stage.

thx

Datagrid Component Vs. Dataprovider Component ?
could someone help me out here? i am attempting to use some methods on my datagrid, but for some reason only one method is functioning.

by methods i mean this:

(DataGrid component)
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(index).width
myDataGrid.removeAllColumns()

(DataProvider compnent)
myDP.removeAll()

here is what i did:
Code:

drag and drop a datagrid component onto stage
give it an instance name of quiz_dg

here i call a function that populates an array (1 row) and assigns the array to my datagrid:
Code:

function doll(blah) {
toy();
quiz_dg.dataProvider = test;
}

this is my function to populate the array:
Code:

var test:Array = new Array();

function toy(blah) {
test.addItem({Tmp1:tmp1,
   Tmp2:tmp2,
   Tmp3:tmp3,
   Tmp4:tmp4,
   Tmp5:tmp5,
   Tmp6:tmp6,
   Tmp7:tmp7});
return test;
}

so here is my dilema:
Code:

no matter how i add code to manipulate my quiz_dg, none are recognized, i did figure out that some methods, manipulate the datagrid, and the same methods do not affect the dataprovider what so ever, thus the reason for having two different methods to clear a datagrid.

DataGrid Component:
Code:

you can use myDataGrid.removeAllColumns(), but it also tells me this:

Calling this method has no effect on the data provider. Call this method if you are setting a new data provider that has different fields from the previous data provider, and you want to clear the fields that are displayed.

so i had to use myDP.removeAll() to clear my datagrid

here is what i did to use myDP.removeAll():
Code:

drag and drop a datagrid component onto stage
give it an instance name of quiz_dg

function doll(blah) {
toy();

test.removeAll(); //clear previous items
quiz_dg.dataProvider = test;
}

var test:Array = new Array();

function toy(blah) {
test.addItem({Tmp1:tmp1,
   Tmp2:tmp2,
   Tmp3:tmp3,
   Tmp4:tmp4,
   Tmp5:tmp5,
   Tmp6:tmp6,
   Tmp7:tmp7});
return test;
}

so what i would like to use is:
Code:

myDataGrid.getColumnAt(index).width

any help is greatly appriciated....
