[flexcoders] tab index
I would like to set a specific tab loop for each state of the application I'm working on. I thought that I would just set the tabIndex of the components and that the default tab index order would be overridden. This did not work. Tabbing behaves as if no tab index has been set. I have made sure that I am targeting the right property and the right components since I've written a loop to automate the indexing. Everything seems okay, I've even traced the tabIndex of the components and they display the index I've set. I am programming in pure AS3 using the flex framework, so there is just a main component in the MXML document that extends UIComponent. Everything is a child of this main component. I have a container that has a complex pattern of children. The children of the container have children, and they are the targets for my tab loop. I have a public function for the containers children that gathers the components that will comprise the tab loop. I loop through the array of UIComponents and set their corresponding tabIndex property. This is done in the childrenCreated() function of the container. The structure looks like this [mxmlDocument] [main] [container] - childrenCreated() here sets tabIndex of children [A][B] [childOfA][childOfA][childOfB] That is the basic idea, and it does nothing... Thanks guys, Melih
[flexcoders] Re: HTML in Flex
An overkill solution for you: if the context allows for it, you could parse the html document so just the supported html tags are left. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Robert Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I already think I know the answer, but I will ask anyway. We buy medical knowledge from a company in HTML page format. Question is, using Flex, is their any way I can read these HTML pages into Flex and display. I know I can do this in Java, but it would take forever and my boss wants to get away from the page refresh. Robert Shaw 972-463-3515
[flexcoders] please help me
Please, someone take a look and at least tell me there is no way to do it the way I'm doing it. Setting tabIndex doesn't do anything.

[flexcoders] StringBuilder Class?
I remember there was suppose to be a StringBuilder class, except, I don't know what happened to it. I remember their being controversy over whether it was actually faster than the String class operations. Am I just looking in the wrong packages?
[flexcoders] Re: Graphic related
I got around to gathering this information. In case anyone was wondering, the embedded SWF/Symbol subclasses MovieClipLoaderAsset. I figure whatever methods this class provides/inherits would enable one to mess around with whatever Symbols are embedded inside of a SWF. I haven't explored this though. Instead I embedded the symbols into style elements inside of a css class. You can then use the getStyle function to retrieve styles in your UIComponent extensions. You just have to name the UIComponent extension Class the same as the CSS Class you're using to provide the graphics. The getStyle function returns type *, and you should cast * to Class. You add these classes to the display list by instantiating them and casting them to IFlexDisplayObject, or a DisplayObject. There should be other classes you can cast the instances to, I haven't needed to though. Figuring this out was aggravating. Wish people would finish their books, Moock . --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, h8me4everplus1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I use css to skin to flex components, I'm able to create a swf file with each symbol exported to the first frame and reference those symbols from the css file. I would like to know how I would be able to access a loaded AVM1 MovieClip's exported symbols the way the native flex components do. Does anyone have any information about this?

[flexcoders] SWF Meta Data
Hey guys, I really like the idea of defining my SWF parameters for AS
projects right at the main script file for actionscript files, but I
have two problems:
1, wish it worked, my source:
package {
[SWF(width=500, height=500, backgroundColor=#ff,
frameRate=40)]
That's it, just defining the SWF parameters at the package level.
2, wish I knew where to look for the available parameters, does anyone
know where it's documented?
Sincerely,
Elibol
[flexcoders] Re: Web Services authentication
What you're doing is calling a webservice method called setUsernamePassword, and passing that method 2 parameters, so unless you have a method called setUsernamePassword on your webservice, nothing will happen, however, you aren't even able to access the webservice because I don't think you've defined the username and password in either the http header or the uri. To keep it simple, try something like this with your wsdl definition: myService.wsdl = 'http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/service/?wdsl'; myService.load(); if you're using NetConnection, then just try the same URI for the connect() function. I think there is a class that would secure identification through http headers, Flex is vast... Check out the docs. elibol --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ronan Bottini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi. I just need a flex app to access a web service and pass in the uid and pwd.

[flexcoders] Re: SWF Meta Data
Hi rg,
Thanks.
Here is a description of my process:
Step 1: I created a new Actionscript project.
Step 2: I wrote the meta data into the as file designated as the
Default Application.
This has no effect, and as you've outlined, the tag must be defined
before the root class definition. I've deduced from this that the
Default Application is not the root class.
Could you guide me further?
Sincerely,
Elibol

Because Flex always creates a root class for the SWF, the [SWF] metadata
must be attached to (i.e. immediately before) the root class definition.
The parameters may not be documented, as they're pretty much intended
for code generated by the compiler from MXML source. End users are
encouraged to use the compiler flags (i.e. on the command line) to set
the values for AS, or to use root tag attributes from MXML.
(For what its worth, I think you have the entire set we support at the
moment.)

You got it man, I had the imports written between the meta data and
the class definition.
Thanks man I appreciate it,

Metadata modifies the thing directly below it. If you had (for example)
an import, then it modifies the import.
Can't provide further guidance without seeing your code.
