[flexcoders] get the properties of an image after its loaded
I have some embedded images, and I need to manipulate them with
effects. I don't want to have to explicitly specify the height and
width of these for calculations. When you don't specify a height and
width of an image, it takes its actual size, so I'm assuming there is
a way to get the width and height of an image after it is loaded.
is this done through img.loaderInfo? or img.content? I tried
img.getConstraintValue('height'); but that returns NaN. Everything
I've tried either gives me NaN or undefined. Does anyone know how to
access this?
Thank you.

[flexcoders] dragging an object with a mask
I have a UIComponent("snowGlobe") with a mask applied. Using the
UIComponent I drew a circle and added it to the application. I then
applied a circular Sprite mask("msk"). This works perfectly. Now
whenever an object is moved outside of the UIComponent it is not
displayed(ie. snow in a snowglobe).
I run into trouble when I try to drag the UIComponent. When I do this,
the UIComponent, and its children, drag, but the Sprite I have set as
a mask does not. If I call .startDrag() on the mask at the same time I
do on the UIComponent, it doesn't allow me to drag anymore.
I have tried things like this..
BindingUtils.bindProperty(msk,'x',snowGlobe,'x');
BindingUtils.bindProperty(msk,'y',snowGlobe,'y');
but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Can anyone help me out with being able to drag a UIComponent and its
mask at the same time?
I thought I should be able to remove and reapply the mask as the
component is dragging, but I'm not sure where to do that at, or how to
get the x and y values of the component being dragged.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
[flexcoders] Loading an image dynamically and making it a BitmapAsset
I am using BitmapAssets to add to a sprite which is printed using
PrintJob.
[Embed(source="images/logo.png")]
[Bindable]
public var logo:Class;
...
var bitmapImg:BitmapAsset = new logo() as BitmapAsset;
bitmapImg.smoothing = true;
bitmapImg.setActualSize(500, 42);
sheet.addChild(bitmapImg);
This works fine when the image to be added is embedded. Some images I
need to add dynamically. How would I do this?
I've tried using a Loader and doing something like this:
var imgLdr:Loader = new Loader(imgURLReq);
imgLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);
function imgLoaded(e:Event):void{
var eventImg:BitmapAsset = new BitmapAsset;
eventImg.bitmapData = imgLdr.content as BitmapData
eventImg.smoothing = true;
eventImg.setActualSize(300, 200);
sheet.addChild(eventImg);
}
I think I need to do something similar to the static method by loading
the image with a Loader and casting it as a Class, but this is not
working out for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm trying to create a TextField that uses an embedded font. Please
see my code below.
The font displays properly when I use it in MXML, but not when I try
to create the text display object in AS.
Has anyone had success with something similar to this?

fontFamily: HelveticaNeue;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
AS:
private function createSheet(sheet:Sprite, str:String):void {
sheet.graphics.beginFill(0xEE);
sheet.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x00);
sheet.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 200);
sheet.graphics.endFill();
var txtFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat()
txtFmt.color = 0x00;
txtFmt.size = 17;
txtFmt.font = "HelveticaNeue";
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
txt.embedFonts = true;
txt.height = 200;
txt.width = 100;
txt.wordWrap = true;
txt.defaultTextFormat = txtFmt;
txt.text = str;
sheet.addChild(txt);

[flexcoders] Re: returning an Array from an ArrayCollection
The Array that is being passed in to the class, is in the format of
Object, not Array. The array is coming from an ArrayCollection, and I
am using getItemAt to reference it.
Below is my PieChart class.
It will display the first object in the array as an item in the chart
legend, but only the first object. Maybe my array isn't formatted right.
So if this is my array that is being passed in:
Array({label: 'A', label: 'B', label: 'C', label: 'D'});
..the legend is showing A, and only A
public class CustomPie extends PieChart{
public var alternateLegendData:Object;
public function CustomPie(){
super();
}
override public function get legendData():Array{
trace("CustomPie: " +
ArrayUtil.toArray(alternateLegendData));
var tmpArray:Array = new Array();
if (alternateLegendDataArray != null){
tmpArray = alternateLegendData as Array;
}
return tmpArray;
}
}
}

[flexcoders] returning an Array from an ArrayCollection
I have a class that extends PieChart(I'm calling this CustomPie) and
I'm passing in an array returned from an ArrayCollection. The new
array I've called "alternateLegendData." So I define this as a public
variable(Object) in the class and I can now pass in a new parameter.
My goal is to use this array being passed in as the data for the
PieChart legend.
In mxml in CustomPie, I have
alternateLegendData="{myArrayCollection.getItemAt(x)}" - this works,
and it passes in the right array, but for some reason it is an Object
and not an Array and I cannot manipulate it.
So my problem is that I built an ArrayCollection:
myArrayCollection.addItem(array1);
myArrayCollection.addItem(array2);
myArrayCollection.addItem(array3);
myArrayCollection.addItem(array4);
So essentially the ArrayCollection is, as the name states, a
collection of arrays.
When I do, for example, myArrayCollection.getItemAt(1), an Object is
returned and not an Array.
I've tried doing Array(myArrayCollection.getItemAt(1)),
ArrayUtil.toArray(myArrayCollection.getItemAt(1)) - neither of these
will return an array.
Anyone have an idea?
[flexcoders] Re: url request variables
This is very strange.. I think I may be running into some sort of

I have a function called doRequests, where it takes the urlRequests

It only works when I map it to a button or something I have to click.
If I want it done automatically(creationComplete).. it doesnt work. I

Maybe I'm just blind, but I cant seem to find an itemClick property for
a TileList in AS.
myTileList.itemClick doesnt appear to be there.. so.. I tried this..
myTileList.setStyle ("itemClick", doItemClick());
public function doItemClick():void{
Alert.show(myTileList.selectedIndex.toString());
}
Something is triggering this.. upon creation of the TL I get the alert
with -1, obviously meaning nothing is selected, but then nothing
happens when I click on an item. I've been searching for a while and
haven't made any progress at all.. anyone know whats going on?

[flexcoders] Re: Security Error
You need a crossdomain.xml file in the root level on the domain you are trying to access. I happen to have the flex docs open, here is the example they give.. again, that should be in a file called crossdomain.xml and should be placed in the domain you are trying to access from the flex app. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "jen_bonnett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm a newbie.

[flexcoders] Re: Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
Just tried those out.. still no luck.. I'm beginning to think this isn't going to work. I didn't know about the useCapture and priority for event listeners.. thought that was going to work. I don't really want to have to cut the string so it doesn't extend out of the TextArea because I use it other places, that seems like it would be a pain in the ass. Do you think this might be an issue of timing? like the eventListener isn't being added in time? I've tried calling it in creationComplete(for the TextArea and app), scroll, and mouseWheel.
[flexcoders] Re: Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
no luck.. heres what i did..
public function wheelStop():void{
myTextArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,
mouseWheelHandler);
}
public function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
and I called wheelStop() in the creationComplete function and also
tried it in mouseWheel & scroll in the TextArea, none worked..
also tried myTextArea.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL,
mouseScrollHandler);
public function mouseWheelHandler(event:ScrollEvent):void{
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
am i doing something wrong?

[flexcoders] Re: Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
Not working..
Heres what I did..
public function wheelStop():void{
myTextArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mouseWheelHandler);
}
public function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
I tried calling wheelStop() at creationComplete, and also in mouseWheel
in the TextArea.. neither worked.
Do I have something wrong?
[flexcoders] Re: NEW FLEX WEBSITE: ManureMail.com
I have a question.. I see that you have digg and reddit and all those, do you have a method for handling url requests? How does the site your sending it to (digg for example) know which page it is being sent? or are you just sending manuremail.com? I really like the end results of flex, it being interactive and all that, but search engines just dont pick it up like html(obviously).
[flexcoders] Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
Here's my situation. I have a TextArea that is filled with text(more text than can be displayed). I have the scroll bars removed so that you can not scroll with them, but you can still scroll with the mouse wheel. How can I disable this? I've tried a number of things but nothing seems to be working. I'm thinking I need an event listener, and a function needs to be performed on ScrollEvent.SCROLL, but what would it be? TextArea doesn't have scrollPosition, so I can't do myTextArea.scrollPosition = 0; or whatever it would be. Any ideas? Thanks, Jayson
[flexcoders] XML not loading.. can't see what i have wrong.
After trying some things on my own, I went to the help docs...
I have the function exactly like it is in the docs and it doesn't
work. I don't know if I'm missing something and I just dont see it..
or if what i have is wrong.. heres what I have...
[Bindable]
public var articleXML:XML;
public var XMLLoader:URLLoader;
public var XMLFile:String = "articles.xml";
public var XMLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XMLFile);
public function loadArticles():void{
XMLLoader.load(XMLReq);
XMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLLoaded);
}
public function XMLLoaded(event:Event):void{
xmltest.text = "loaded";
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
articleXML = new XML(loader.data);
xmltest.text = articleXML.toXMLString();
}
for some reason the debug version of flash doesnt install.. err.. I
install it but nothing changes.. so I can't use trace.
anyone see something wrong here? I think this should work.

[flexcoders] Re: Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
I'm having a problem similar to this one.. is there a way to get the height of an image that is being loaded? I looked to be able to do this in the asp script I have generating the XML document, so I could have this in the XML, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I figured I didn't need the width or height because the image could be scaled, but it turns out that I do need the height. Anyone know how to do this or is able to point me in the right direction?

[flexcoders] Re: customising preloader
Progress Bar---
I came up with some code last night to make a progress bar update as
an image is loaded in my appliction. I have a few photo galleries and
other things, so I want the user to know that something is loading
rather than seeing a blank spot on the page... heres my code, you
might be able to use it.
There is then a progress bar in the application called progress and
an image called image. Make sure the progress bar's mode is set to
manual.
script
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public var file:Loader = new Loader();;
public var fileURL:String = new String();
public var fileURLReq:URLRequest;
public function imageLoader():void{
image.visible=false;
progress.setProgress(0,100);
progress.visible=true;
progress.indeterminate=true;
fileURL=galSelTL.selectedItem.full;
fileURLReq = new URLRequest(fileURL);
file.load(fileURLReq);
file.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(Event.OPEN, openHandler);
file.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
file.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
}
private function openHandler(event:Event):void{
progress.indeterminate=false;
}
private function progressHandler
(event:ProgressEvent):void{
progress.setProgress
(event.bytesLoaded,event.bytesTotal);
}
private function loadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void
{
image.load(fileURL);
image.visible=true;
progress.visible=false;
}
good luck,
Jayson
