Hello,

I am searching example on how to make a gradient skin on a button with an image
for the button.

Thank you,
Christophe,

I'm surprised at the lack of reaction for this on this list.

I'm impressed - looks to be quite useful; just need to add it into my workflow.

The examples are good when dealing with completely unfamiliar classes,
but I often forget what a certain property/method in a certain class
does/returns, and the code hinting/completion in FB3 isn't very
helpful most of the time.

It would be neat if there could be a quick shortcut button to switch
between examples and a condensed version of the flex class reference
(allow me to select if multiple classes are relevant), similar to how
Netbeans and to a lesser extent Eclipse Java works. That would save me
a lot of time going back and forth between FB3 and my browser as I do
now.

Hi Jeff, what this does is set the background color of the renderer's VBox and therefore the line shading to gray if the label text begins with an asterisk .... we want to highlight these paricular rows in the list. I know what you are saying about creationComplete() only running once, but I was thinking the renderer would have to redo itself on a scroll because the viewable area had changed.
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeffry Houser <jeff@...> wrote:

It looks like you are trying to change the background color of the label so that you have alternating colors, is that correct? This won't work due to render recycling. Renderers are re-used. There is not a single renderer for every item in your dataProvider. CreationComplete complete only runs once. You might try code like this on the dataChange event. Or using updateComplete. Or google it and discover the alternatingItemColors style: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/17/alternating-row-colors-in-a-flex-list-control/

A quick Googling:
http://www.download3k.com/System-Utilities/Automation-Tools/Download-bcWebCam-Re\
ad-Barcode-with-Web-Cam.html

That means that yes, you can read barcodes with a web cam and the barcode gets
entered into an active appication's active field. Just like if you would read a
barcode with a keyboard scanner.

Using flash.printing.PrintJob, after start() I check to see whether the user has
set the exact printing parameters needed for a successful print, and if not, I'd
like to abort the print and send the user an Alert about the print requirements.

However, I can't figure out how to kill the print job, other than to let it time
out. I'd think there'd be a printJob.abort() or the like, but I don't see it.

I'd appreciate pointers to set me on the proper path.
Thanks,
    Jeffrey

Hello, I'd like to develop an AIR application which allows users to make audio recordings on their PC with a USB microphone, then either store the audio files locally (for later upload) or stream using Flash Media Server or Red5. Is this feasible?  Any commercial products to facilitate this?  Thanks! Kevin

I'm glad you found an easy way to get the functionality you wanted.

According to the docs, mouseEnabled defaults to true. I wonder why the ADGGIR
constructor sets it to false? Also, why don't the docs reflect this?

I just wanted to say that if you still wanted the functionality from
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer and you wanted extra functionality, you can
extend AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer for your renderer. Best of both worlds
;-)

I need to place a text in a ActionScript 3 project. The supplied X and Y is left
and baseline coordinates. I use UITextField and subtracted its baselinePosition
from Y. This places the text very close to where it should be vertically but not
the exact location (text displayed a little higher). Horizontal position is not
accurate neither and text is positioned a little to the right of supplied X. I
could not find any property in UITextField or TextFormat to correct this.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hello,

We are running a Livecycle application that runs in Tomcat 6 environment (Our livecycle version is 2.6.1).  Our application makes use
of Data Management Service and Messaging Service (and so underlying there are rtmp connections on port 2038 and port 2039)

We are facing a problem restarting tomcat... The Tomcat log shows the following error :

"SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' cannot bind to accept client connections on port '2038' because another process has already bound the port. Please ensure that multiple "

This error occurs when clients are still connected to our Application while restarting Tomcat.
Even if we kill the processes that bind to port 2038, the port is not released. 

We now have a "workaround" : we stop Tomcat,  we wait until the port is finally given free (sometimes it takes about three minutes) and then
we start Tomcat again...  However, this is not an option in our production environment, because we want to be able to deploy a new version in less than a minute..

I suppose some of you have encountered this problem ? If you have a solution for this problem,.. please let us know ;

Thank you !

Hi there,

         I got an urgent situation. I have developed a flex app
accessing the data through webservices developed in C# .NET.
webservices and my flex app reside in two different boxes.
and webservices are not available for outside public.

Everthing is working fine within the network. But when I access in
production it is not able to load the WSDL.

Can any body tell me how to make a request to the load webservice
from the box hosting flex app(may be using proxies)?

any help will be really appreciated.

thanks

I'm putting together a prototype of an app and I have a ViewStack that is being
controlled by a button toolbar.  In each of these views there is a video player.
What I need to do is to pause the video in the view that is being hidden.  I see
the change event triggered when I change views, but it seems that the target
reference passed in via the event parameter is the new view.  Is there an easy
way to get a reference to the view being hidden?  Or is there a different event
triggered (something like a deactivate) that I can use to create a handler with
a passed in reference to the departing view?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am not counting for the 2 pixels. Are the pixels always there even if no
border is drawn? Is it always 2 pixels?

I'm including the Flex framework as a linked RSL, and also have another library
that I'm including as a linked RSL.  The custom library contains a defaults.css
file in which I have some styles for the Alert control, using a type selector. 
Oddly, the styles do not apply correctly unless I change one of the RSLs to
"merged into code" - and it doesn't seem to matter which one.  In fact, if I
have a third RSL that does not contain a defaults.css and I merge that one into
code, the other styles apply fine.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of scenario?  See this weirdness
before?  Have any insights into the initialization of RSLs?

Thanks...

If the web service box is not available to the outside public, then the Flash
player running on the clients machine won't be able to load the WSDL.

Either open up the web service box to the outside public or rewrite your app to
use remoteobject to connect back to the server hosting the Flex app and then use
that server to connect to the web service and return data.

You probably want the hide event (Dispatched when an object's state changes from
visible to invisible).

 I'm not sure of complete specifics, but I thought Ribbit supported something like this  Wasn't sure if they support computer mics or you have to use a phone. 
 AudioSpike may support something like this, I'm not sure. 
 I thought Digimix also did this sort of thing, but I have no idea if it ever got a release.

Error 1009 is "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.".
Try calling event.fault.getStackTrace() in the fault handler to see what the
problem is. You may have a null XML object returned.

Sorry, I think I put you wrong there. If you have the Flex Builder license then
when you deploy the SWF file you do NOT need a license to distribute with it.
