[Flashcoders] Flash Builder 4.6 Spark button skin

[Creighton, Gerry]

I created a custom skin for three buttons that have the same background for up, 
over and down states.
I'm setting those with png's like so..






This works great and allows me to set the label for each but I'm having a 
problem setting & positioning the icon for each
Button that uses this skin. I want to display a different icon for each of the 
buttons using this skin.

Can this be done? I think there might be a conflict with the skin I created and 
setting an icon. The icon for each button
Doesn't even show up.

Anyone run into this? I've looked online but nothing related to my situation.

Thanks,

-Gerry

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

You could always prompt your user to enter their city if your needing 
specifics. Getting the city from the time zone is a bit general. Getting the 
city by ip can also get a little misleading since ips can be spoofed or you 
could end up getting their ISPs ip or if it's a virtual machine. But that's my 
experience. Someone may have a solution I'm not aware of.

Best,
Karl

 Does anyone know if it is possible to grab the city selected associated

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

[Karl DeSaulniers]

That's what this code does.
Gets the timezone like CST or America/Chicago for example based on  
local settings.

Or is that not what your wanting?

Best,
Karl

RE: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

[Karina Steffens]

Hi David,

The IP address could work if your Air has access to that. I don't know much
about it, but for a web project I worked on a few years ago, the SEO people
used the IP to determine the user's country and redirect according to that
(Ireland or US site). I think they were using some kind of Geo-IP database
service for this.

Thanks Karl,

I can grab the time using the Date class in AS3, I'm more stuck on how to
detect what city they have set in their system preferences or some other way
to detect what city they are in.

IP address?

Thanks Karl,

I can grab the time using the Date class in AS3, I'm more stuck on how to
