Hi Everyone, I just started using flashdevelop for flex apps (I had been using it for pure as3 projects previously). I can't figure out how to import files and such. I have included them to the library as usually. In this case I have included flexlib.swc and flexmdi.swc. Both are in my lib folder and both have been right clicked and Adde...
If I am creating say a input field through MXML, I can set the width to 100%. But I cannot seem to do this at runtime through ActionScript. This works: <mx:TextInput ... width="100%" /> This wont compile, says width is a number, not a string: var textinp:TextInput = new TextInput(); someContainer.addChild(textinp); textinp.width = "...
Im trying to create a layout in flex using mxml, the layout contains a Canvas component and a Box. The layout should always be such that the Box sits at the bottom edge of the application and has a fixed height, whereas the Canvas fills the remaining stage area and does not overlap with the Box. My MXML is as follows; <mx:Module xmlns:...
I could code what I want to achieve like this: <mx:Button id="someButton" click="doRememberButton(someButton)" ... /> but would find it very helpful (I am putting together a rather large UI) if I could write: <mx:Button click="doRememberButton(this)" ... /> Now, the obvious problem is that 'this' does not point to the Button, but t...
I'm trying to find an easy way to use degrafa with MXML. I'm no artist and creating graphics using code just seems very wrong when you can't visualise what is needed to make the required art work. What I'm after is a tool that can take an SVG graphic and convert to suitable MXML tags so that I can copy/paste them into a MXML file. There...
In Flex, is it possible to include some kind of MetaData to a property, to be able to list all possible values that a property can use?

Is there a way to access the DOM-Elements of a mxml file in a way that you can in JS (e.g. using Prototype or jQuery)?

I have a DataGrid that has between 4-10 columns. I want the columns to be of width '50'. I have already set the width attribute in MXML.

I am trying to create a custom component in flex that consists of a Button, and a TileList directly below that button. On button click event the TileList should open/close. The component works fine, but when I add it to my main flex app, inside a VBox, it simply opens and closes within the VBox. Because the height of the VBox is much sma...

I have discovered a very strange bug with the Flex resource manager in my 3.3 Flex SDK. I have created an example with view source enabled here: http://pixelbox.net/demos/buttonBug/ As you can see I am not doing anything strange, other than settings a maxWidth and then giving the button some text that causes it to truncate. The proble...
Is there a way to have the TileList component to auto-size to its contents? I have tried setting it 100%, but it seems that won't help. I don't want to hard-code the height because the content will be vary, and I don't want scrollbars to show up. Please help. ...

I am trying to turn labels red when they can no longer be added to a list because of size requirements. The renderer works but Flex creates a separate component. I can't think of any good way to get that value to the new component. Any ideas? <mx:List... > <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <comp:SetSizeLabel nu...

So when the user resizes the window below a certain width, I want to switch to a different state.
