[flexcoders] Possible to cancel a tooltip event?
I am trying to cancel a tooltip event (I only want it to display when the mouse
is hovered over a certain area), and can't seem to figure it out. I tried
stopPropagation, preventDefault, and stopImmediatePropagation, but none of them
seem to work.
Here the code I am using:
private function toolTipCreateHandler(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
if(event.currentTarget.mouseX 130) {
var tooltip:PhotoToolTip = new PhotoToolTip();
tooltip.src = event.currentTarget.toolTip;
event.toolTip = tooltip;
}
else {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
}
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have tried your tip with the first label. The label is placed correctly
(I traced its x and y values) but it's not showing up. The updated class:
package com
{
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class CustomLabelRenderer extends UIComponent implements
IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:Object;
private var _labelYear:Label;
public function CustomLabelRenderer()
{
super();
}
[Bindable(dataChange)]
public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
override protected function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
_labelYear = new Label();
addChild(_labelYear);
}
public function set data(value:Object):void
{
_data = value;
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
if(value != null)
{
_labelYear.text = String(value.text);
}
}
}
}

The first one is the default one. The second one is retrieved from an
array. So I have no problem with retrieving their values but having
displayed the second one. I have been using the below class, assigned
as
labelRenderer
package com
{
import mx.charts.AxisLabel;
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
public class CustomLabelRenderer extends Label implements IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:AxisLabel;
public function CustomLabelRenderer()
{
super();
}
override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if(value != null)
{
this._data = value as AxisLabel;
this.text = String(value.text);
}
}
}
}
Basically, the above class does nothing special. It just displays the
same
label as in case where no labelRenderer is defined. I was trying to add
to
this class another label for storing the second value but that label
was not
displayed at all (whether by adding as a child to the first label or to
the
axis renderer).

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Coloring with CMYK
Hi. CMYK color separation is a science all by itself, you'd need to learn and understand hardware color profiles, printing techniques and all that involves rasterizing images before they get printed. I'm afraid there is nothing built in in the framework for that purpose as it is a quite particular field of computer usage. Though, depends on your task you may come up with more or less acceptable results when you want to display a CMYK image. You'd probably want to elaborate on your question, because, otherwise the answer may be to generic and confusing. Best. Oleg
Re: [flexcoders] Re: With the latest eula agreement from Apple
Flipping this whole discussion on its head for a moment Adobe used to have the best SVG runtime player in the land. It was fast, had good support for the SVG standard and it was stable. Then Adobe bought Macromedia. They discontinued development and support for their SVG player because now they had Flash! Adobe could, I'm sure, alter their Flash development tools to output SVG+Javascript. In fact, I'd be surprised if they hadn't already experimented with this. If Adobe was as smart as they think they are, they'd RIGHT NOW fast-track SVG+Javascript export into Flex and Flash IDEs. This would let them become the premier tool for developing iPhone apps, standards-based web vector animations and would encourage adoption of open standards at such a rate that it'd hobble Silverlight into the bargain! Of course that is just an idle dream, and instead they will keep pushing their proprietary solution and wait for the killer open-standards IDE that will allow developers to make full use of HTML 5 to pop up and change the market for them.

Reports of Flash's demise are premature to say the least. I think Flash will likely be around for some time and will live long and prosper in a variety of contexts. Steve isn't seeing the future so much as trying to create a future that provides best competitive advantage to Apple. And of course, as Adobe is fond of saying, Flash will push the envelope as to what is possible.

Then we will see Flash become a thing of the past. eg check this out http://demo.sproutcore.com/sample_controls/ Look familiar? Look ma! NO plugins, just HTML 5! I don't know for others, but it reminds me of Flash 5 ten years old with extra crossbrowser issues. Let me think... hell no, don't want to go there :) Maybe in few years HTML will be like flash 8, and few more years it will be like flash 10. There will be flash 16 and AS4 by the time, another gap for HTML to reach. So, yeah, good luck with your HTML mate, I wish you good luck, really. Vale Flash, you have been good to us, but your time is drawing to a close. Steve Jobs has seen the future, and Flash ain't there. Guy The future where Apple dictates what you can install on your phone, what you can see on the web, what music you can listen ? Sound great, see you there :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: With the latest eula agreement from Apple
I do agree that the main problem is that there isn't really an excellent competitor to the App store. Once Flash is on absolutely everything, the Flash Store will be that competitor. It doesn't matter what device you use, mobile, PC, television, set top box, tablet, some future brain implant, it's a one stop shop to get the app. Of course, what would really be the killer for the Flash store would be making the app independent of the device. Buy an app on your mobile, then turn on your PC. It checks the Flash store, sees you have a purchased app it's not got installed, and fetches and installs it itself. The final nail would be persistent state. Buy and start playing a game on your mobile on the train home. Get in, turn on your PC and continue the same game. That's the app store killer right there! Gk.

I have tried your tip with the first label. The label is placed

(I traced its x and y values) but it's not showing up. The updated
class:
package com
{
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class CustomLabelRenderer extends UIComponent implements
IDataRenderer

public function CustomLabelRenderer()
{
super();
}
[Bindable(dataChange)]
public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
override protected function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
_labelYear = new Label();
addChild(_labelYear);
}
public function set data(value:Object):void
{
_data = value;
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
if(value != null)
{
_labelYear.text = String(value.text);

The first one is the default one. The second one is retrieved
from
an
array. So I have no problem with retrieving their values but
having
displayed the second one. I have been using the below class,
assigned
as
labelRenderer
package com
{
import mx.charts.AxisLabel;
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
public class CustomLabelRenderer extends Label implements
IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:AxisLabel;
public function CustomLabelRenderer()
{
super();
}
override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if(value != null)
{
this._data = value as AxisLabel;
this.text = String(value.text);
}
}
}
}
Basically, the above class does nothing special. It just
displays
the
same
label as in case where no labelRenderer is defined. I was
trying to
add
to
this class another label for storing the second value but that
label
was not
displayed at all (whether by adding as a child to the first
label
or to
the
axis renderer).

[flexcoders] SWC's vs. source
What are the ramifications of using precompiled SWC vs. source in a project? Does the whole SWC load into memory or just the classes that are being used? I'm experimenting with other libraries out there and have access to both the source and SWC. It seems accessing the SWC is a lot easier, but I'm not necessarily looking for what's easier. I want what's most efficient. Thanks Scott
Re: [flexcoders] SWC's vs. source
Generally, SWC should be more efficient in terms of compilation time since you will be using already compiled code vs the code the compiler still needs to analyse or resources to encode. However, I haven't benchmarked that. So, could be there's something which escaped my attention. Best. Oleg

[flexcoders] Flex 4 State Names and Binding
Hi All,
Unlike Flex 3, it seems that Flex 4 doesn't allow state names to be bound to
constants anymore. An example that no longer works would be something like
this:
mx:State name={ MyNavigationConstants.STATE_OPEN }/
While I appreciate the improvements that have been made to Flex 4 states, this
can be a problem for MVC oriented navigation frameworks. Just wondering what
the rational was for making this change.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] What is the MXML syntax for this?
I have a component, that has a property of type Image. I need to assign a new Image component to it. this is trivial to do in action script. But, how do I do it in MXML? Example: mxml: local:myContainerComponent id=containerComponent/ actionscript: var myImage:Image = new Image(myTestImage.jpg); containerComponent.imageVar = myImage; Is there anyway to do that creation of the image, and assignment purely from MXML? The image cant be a child of anything else, so I cant just declare it randomly somewhere in the same container. For context, im using the Flash Component Kit, and the myContainerComponent is a container exported from flash a mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip. And it requires you to assign a component to its content property. Ideally, id like to create and assign this content component using mxml only.

Using an ordinary datagrid, setting the dataProvider={xmllcData}, the data is

I created the files; recorded the final file sizes. It was close to a year ago now; so to redo anything I'd have to start from scratch. I could put it on my list of things to do; but it wouldn't be priority. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Alex Harui aha...@... wrote: Jeffry, it would be interesting to see the link-reports from your tests.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the MXML syntax for this?
Are you looking for: local:myContainerComponent id=”containerComponent” local:imageVar mx:Image source=”myTestImage.jpg” / /local:imageVar /local:myContainerComponent On 4/14/10 12:53 PM, Christopher McArthur cmcart...@riotgames.com wrote: I have a component, that has a property of type Image. I need to assign a new Image component to it. this is trivial to do in action script. But, how do I do it in MXML? Example: mxml: local:myContainerComponent id=containerComponent/ actionscript: var myImage:Image = new Image(myTestImage.jpg); containerComponent.imageVar = myImage; Is there anyway to do that creation of the image, and assignment purely from MXML? The image cant be a child of anything else, so I cant just declare it randomly somewhere in the same container. For context, im using the Flash Component Kit, and the myContainerComponent is a container exported from flash a mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip. And it requires you to assign a component to its content property. Ideally, id like to create and assign this content component using mxml only. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
