Flex 2 & 3 | Forum profile

Hi, Shortly put, yeah, you'll need to learn AS 3.0 one way or another. In theory, you could build simple flex applications without writing almost any AS code but that will lead you as far. So, AS 3.0 is definitely a must. If you say you have no programming experience then maybe you should leave Flex for a later time... Start with procedural programming first and once you get familiar with that and AS, then you can take it one level higher...

Hi, Not needed to do this before, but this might work: ActionScript Code: myVS. selectedChild = Container ( o. view ) ; If not, this will: ActionScript Code: var myView: String = String ( o. view ) ; myVS. selectedChild = Container ( viewStack. getChildByName ( myView ) ) ;

Attached are two images. The first shows the good (word wrap) and the minor problem with the fields being too tall for one line. The second shows to worse (scroll bar instead of word wrap). What I'm worried about on this is with keyboard access, would it become a pain for JAWs users. I tried using Text instead of TextArea. The problem is it truncates.

Hi Barni, Thanks for the code and example. It works like a charm. I just checked out the documentation for URLVariables() and that is exactly what i needed to be able to pass now any variables to the main.swf file. Thanks a lot. The problem is that i am just learning AS3, and i try to figure out how to do things as i go along and then implement them in my code. I checked out the Loader documentation as well, and i can just directly add it to...

Thx for the replies....

I know how garbage collection works. What I don't know is how to kill the HTML component's html embedded swf files to ensure it shuts up while it's waiting to be GC'd.. Unless I'm doing something wrong. So lets say I make a blank air application and add a HTML component to the stage, set the initial location to a long youtube video or a page with a playlist or something. Any swf with sound. How do I then go about...

Thank you so much! This link helped me a lot.

I seem to be having some success with overriding DataGrid actually. This gives me the fine controll I need. Thanks for your suggestion. jq

ok, say i create a window using the following code, how can i add a single button to newWindow that when clicked shows an alert saying "hello world"? (the code is from adobe help files and it works) //create the init options var options:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions(); options.transparent = false; options.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD; options.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL; //create...

Hi, yeah you will definitely need to learn actionscript 3.0. AS 3.0 is object oriented programming language so you'll need to learn OOP principles first. Like Barna Biro said you should first start with procedural programming language like PHP ( although PHP is also OOP language but can be written in both procedural and OOP way ). As far as learning OOP principles when you learn the basics i will recommend looking at OOP design patterns...
