Hi! I have a "format" method that works in a similar manner to the C# String.Format method, with the following signature: In a class named StringTools: /** * Formats a string, based on C# String.Format method. * @param raw A string with numbered tokens, such as "{0}, {1}" * @param rest Values that replace the numbered tokens in raw....
I've got to (quickly!) add an intro to an existing flash masthead on a site that I've inherited. I don't have access to the source .fla's, so I approached the problem by putting the intro in a wrapper swf and loading the current masthead and adding it to the display list on Event.INIT. So far, so good. (Incidentally, the swfs are built...
I am a little confused. I made a button symbol and I put a textbox called "butLabel". this button is encapsulated into another movieclip called MainMenu. cbegin is the instance name I gave the button. If I trace like this.... trace(menu.cbegin); It recognizes cbegin is a button. but if I trace it like this trace(menu.cbegin.butLabel...
I've built a UIComponent in AS3. When I drag it onto the stage during authoring time, the ADDED_TO_STAGE event fires. I have an event handler, but it's really only meant to perform actions at runtime, not when I'm dropping the component onto the stage to design the layout. Is there any way to check to see if the component is "running" ...
I am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "...

Everytime I google this question I see confusing information about masks and blends, none of which seems to directly apply to what I think should be an easy thing... There are three Sprites involved here...the lowest layer sprite is pretty much a background. I want to overlay a translucent Sprite on top of the background and then I want...
Is there a way to block mouse events except for a specific MovieClip or Sprite? i.e. I know that to prevent ALL mouse clicks, I can write something like: stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPreventClick, true, 0, true); ... private function onPreventClick(e:MouseEvent) { e.stopImmediatePropagation(); e.preventDefault(); } ...
I got this error and I am not sure what it's about. The last thing I remember doing is adding a clearInterval() method to clear some setTimeOut() intervals varibles. besides that I am not sure what it could be. Not asking for a solution. But if anyone know's any possibilities of what it could trigger that error, maybe that might help me ...
Because the color of the background image in my application is very dark, and the Alpha is very low, when I hover my mouse over a checkbox, the text is scarcely visible. I've scoured the interwebz in vain for what property to set, either at design-time or in the MouseOver event for the checkbox and just can't figure out what property or...

This may be a weird question, but I'm wondering if there's any way to efficiently (perhaps using namespaces?) have different default variables in a class per developer in an actionscript project. I ask because we're currently working on a series of Flash games: 24 in total. Each is loaded by a shell container. The shell receives a flash ...

I want to load an image into the background of my Flex app. However, I am wondering about a few things, and have a few contraints. I want it to be much like the way it's done with CSS. See this example of fullscreen background images with CSS. It is very important that there is no white-space (background colour) showing behind the imag...

Hi, I am building a complex Flex app, and now I am at the point where navigation becomes a problem. I make use of Viewstacks with a Menu Bar, but I am not sure how to clearly structure this. Depending on the logged in User and chosen Company by the user, he can see different pages. For now I restricted this hiding the appropriate butto...
Hi everyone, out of curiosity I decided to experiment with the following in a Flex 4 project: public class MyGroup extends Group { public function MyGroup() { super(); var myLabel:Label = new Label(); myLabel.id = "myLabel"; myLabel.text = "My label!"; this.addElement(myLabel); ...
