I'll chime in on getting the text content width versus TextArea width.
Approximate example
[Embed(source="images/myphoto.png")]
[Bindable]
public var MyPhoto:Class;
var myImage:Image = new Image();
myImage.source = MyPhoto;
trace(myImage.width);
For whatever reason, I just get "0". I've tried contentWidth,
maxWidth, explicitWidth.
I've tried callLater and then att
I guess my difficulty is that my goal is to load the buttons
dynamically based upon an XML config file for which buttons should be
existent.
So I need to be able to dynamically create these event listeners. I am
sure there is a good way to do this. I really wish Adobe would do some
cross-training
Can you point me to some good simple examples. As someone who is
coming from Flash/AS1 into Flex/AS3. I find that often Adobe's
examples assume knowledge and seem written more for a Java developer
moving to Flex rather than for older Flash developers moving toward Flex.
Any good examples on best
"This may seem like a major restriction, but we had no problem writing
all the Flex components with this event model."
And I am sure that most of the Adobe people who wrote the components
had training to use such methodology either in AS3 or other languages.
Being newer to this structure, I find
I'll give that a try, it looks like it might be a solution for
me...thanks!
I dealt with this issue on my blog pretty extensively..

Here is an example of what I implemented for the browsers I was
testing for (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera on PC/Mac)

Why does click work here?
But not here?
btnFoo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Foo(2));
Now, it's obviously Adobe has coded the button component to allow for
arguments to be passed via the click parameter. But we're not given
that same privilege when using just AS3.
But obviously, they mu

Okay then
How do I do the simple act of "click" event call function and pass a
parameter value?
This was easy in AS1/AS2/JS
I could essentially just say...
btnFoo.release = function (parameters){...}
Now, it looks like i need to add an event listener. Then create a
custom event. All so I

This is most definitely an area where Adobe needs to apply some resources.

Just a thought...
Can you pass the values to Flash/Flex "encrypted". Then write a web
service for the Flash/Flex to pass those values to that returns them
"decrypted".

The issue is that I don't have access to the HTML wrapper. This swf is
not going to be hosted on our servers. So everything has to be done
internally within Flash.
Because Flex decided to be stupid like most programming languages and

Which make for additional work and headache. I so miss ColdFusion's
date/time handling. It was beautiful. It was the way date/time should be.
Of course, I also like counting from 1 instead of zero. And yes, I

I am dealing with a rather annoying dilemma.
Often I'll set text or htmlText of a textArea dynamically. I will also

Often as the case may be, the set text is longer than the displayable
area. I'd like to be able to get the "displayed text length" (ie:

I want to either:

Does anyone know of any resources regarding best practices for laying
out one's directory structure for Flex development?
Particularly with care to multi-application development. Where to
store various assets, SWCs, classes, etc.

I have a .swf file created by Flex. Normally, this app is loaded into

I've written a second app which facilitates the configuring of these

second application via "SWFloader" w
Much obliged...that let me get the value.
Might I inquire if you are familiar with embedding a .swf file into a
Flex app and pass it flashvar parameters or set internal values. The
swf is also generated via Flex.
