I always found the effects behavior of
Flex 2.0 Alpha 1 weird. I never had the feeling that it really worked like I
wanted it to. It never appeared to be “reliable” in terms of that
it did what I expected right away. Not to blame Macromedia for this, it might
all be my fault but anyway… effects always have been difficult for me. I
ran into timing issues and whenever I was sure that “this time I have
assigned the effect to the right event” just to find out it does not work
as intended. I have created the following example for
you. It’s not making use of a MXML Component but you might get the idea. Obviously
you don’t need to call the ChangeText() method via Button controls. You
can also do it programmatically. It should not be too difficult to wrap the
behavior designed here into a self-contained component. Does that help? (Would
be nice if you post the component once you’ve finished it.) <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns:local="*" backgroundColor="#ffffff"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.util.*; [Bindable] public var theText:String = "My default
text is boring."; private var _t:String; private function ChangeProceed():Void { theText = _t; lblDummy.visible = true; } private function ChangeText(_s:String):Void { _t = _s; lblDummy.visible = false; setTimeout(ChangeProceed,
1700); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label id="lblDummy" text="{theText}" showEffect="appearer" hideEffect="dissolver" /> <mx:Button label="Text Change 1" click="ChangeText('This
is impressive!')" /> <mx:Button label="Text Change 2" click="ChangeText('This
is even more impressive!')" /> <mx:Effect> <mx:Dissolve name="dissolver" alphaFrom= "1.0"
alphaTo= "0" duration= "1000"/> <mx:Dissolve name="appearer" alphaFrom= "0"
alphaTo= "1.0" duration= "1000"/> </mx:Effect> </mx:Application>
From: Hello, I'm trying to have a bunch of dynamically updating Labels
(think internationalization) all show a Fade effect when their
"text" binding source is updated. Since there is no default
"change" event for the control, I've tried going down the path of
wrapping the Label and implementing some of the code in my new control.
Doesn't work. The code below does not fade the label when the button
is clicked. Is it maybe possible to attach a default Fade Effect to my
control's "show" Event via Action Script, and just toggle
its visibility? La code: ****************
MXML *************** <com:FancyLabel xmlns:com="com.*"
text="{tempString}" id="lblFancyText" /> **************** Extended Label *************** import mx.effects.*; class
com.FancyLabel extends mx.controls.Label {
// Constructor *************************************** Thanks in advance,
