[flexcoders] Stage listeners not hearing key_down events.
Does anyone have an example of getting the stage or any display object to listen to all Key_Down events, even with items on the displayList. Here is my code, which works for the mouse_down event, but keydown is going unnoticed. Any clues as to why that this is? Application.application.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDownEvent); Application.application.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDownEvent); also the mouse_down works in this version as well, but not the key_down. firstdisplayobject.visual.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDownEvent); firstdisplayobject.visual.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDownEvent); TIA thanks, CompletelyFrustrated
[flexcoders] Can you put a UIComponent in a Sprite
Is it possible to put a UIComponent in a Sprite? I assume not since Sprite is lower on the chain and since it doesn't contain the timeline. Yes? No?
[flexcoders] Re: Can you put a UIComponent in a Sprite
I am working with library that is all AS3 and is Sprite based to keep the overhead down. I would like to put more expressive items (flex components) in the application without hand coding them all.

[flexcoders] Flash Player 10: FileReference.save Security User event
Does anyone know if there is a way around the security feature of FileReference that requires a user event in order to execute FileReference.save? I have method that is called via a buttons click event, but this original eventhandler function calls three more functions via callLater (passing in the original event as an argument to callLater), but I still get the error telling me that when calling FileReference.save it has to be called because of a user event (gesture). I am I wrong to think that passing the initial click event along with callLater should be enough to pass the security requirement? Thanks, Jason
[flexcoders] Access a swf's properties.
So I have this function which calls another function and returns an
object of type class (which is actually a .swf). Then I return the
found object as Class to something else that called the geticon function.
private function geticon(item:Object):Class
{
var image:Class = Images.resource([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
return image;
}
But what I need to do is once I get the image:Class (which is a swf) I
need to alter the size of the found object. Something like this.
private function geticon(item:Object):Class
{
var image:Class = Images.resource([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
image.width = 10;
image.height = 10;
return image;
}
The problem is image:Class doesn't have w or h properties. I tried
this DisplayObject(image).width =10; but I get a runtime error saying
can't convert swf to type DisplayObject.
Thanks in advance for your help.
[flexcoders] Re: Access a swf's properties.
I ran getQualifiedClassName and it came back with:
custom__embed_css_assets_images_bigthing_swf_893847107
which is the directory path to the .swf object (image composed in
flash and exported to swf). In this case the bigthing.swf file.
The issue isn't what image is it is how can I cast it or put it in
another container so I can scale the container thus the image.

A SWF isn't a Class so something is already off-track.
Call getQualifiedClassName on image to see what it really is. Or use

[flexcoders] Re: Access a swf's properties.
I am following this tutorial
http://kanuwadhwa.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/customize-combobox/#comment-1366
The only thing I have changed is i removed his function and am calling
my own (mentioned before and again here), which brings back a class.
private function geticon(item:Object):Class
{
var image:Class = Images.resource([EMAIL
PROTECTED]);
return image;
}
The other issue besides the size issue is I get a cannot access an
null value on this code. Remember I haven't changed any of his code
besides the function mentioned above.
override public function set measuredWidth(value:Number):void
{
if (DisplayObject(displayIconObject)){
super.measuredWidth = value +
(DisplayObject(displayIconObject).width+getStyle(cornerRadius));
}else{
return;
}
}
I don't know if it mattes but my data provider is dynamic. The other
issue is the one above where the selected icon shows up the correct
size, but the icons in the drop List are huge (original size 100x100).
[flexcoders] Itemrenderer not showing up in combobox
Does anyone know how to get an itemrenderer in a combobox to show up when it is the selectedItem? I have an itemrenderer in a combobox that only shows up when the list is dropped down, but when you selected something nothing shows up in the labelField, the combobox just closes and the labelField is blank. What I want is instead of labelField = data.title I want something like labelField = myitemrenderer. Kind of silly on Adobe's part to just allow text. If it lets you put in an itemrenderer for the list shouldn't it show you the itemrenderer you select from the dropdown list not just a string?
[flexcoders] Re: ArrayCollection not working? Pulling out my HAIR!!!
If I can just get my xml into an array that would be great. I guess I
am going to have to skip ArrayUtil and hand code this as before with
proxyObject. Sure wish Adobe would update the arrayutil in Flex 3, or
better yet make importing data a drag and drop operation. Would make
this much simpiliar. Dragging in certain nodes from XML into an array
would ease the pain.

Well I am using one data source via the singleton pattern as I have
approx. 20 screen feeding of the xml data. I am sure xml will work
with that. I wanted to use an Array or Arraycollection because I am
going to be using several hsliders to splice the data in arrays.
I think it would be easier with an array than xml. Do you have an
example of how to splice up the data with xml rather than an array?
