Re: [flexcoders] AIR: Detecting when window resize is complete (mouse up)
I use mouseup in my application.. it seems to work for me. you coudl also play around with MOUSE_LEAVE and ROLL_OVER for the stage (activate the rollover listener for resize whenever you get a RESIZE event, then remove the listener when you have satisfactorily resized) Cheers, Lushen On 1/15/2009 3:56 PM, Aaron Hardy wrote: Hey folks, In my project I have a component that is a percentage width of its containing window. When the user resizes the window, it triggers the component to update its display list WHILE the user is dragging the window resize handle. Rather than updating the component's display while the user is dragging, I'd like to wait until the user lets go of the drag to update the component's display. Is there an event I can capture that will tell me when the user releases the mouse button after a window resize? NativeWindow.resize seems to be dispatched while the user is resizing. While that's not what I'm looking for, I tried watching that event and then adding a mouse up event listener to both the stage and native window to detect when the user then lets go of the mouse button, but a mouse up event never seems to be dispatched when the user releases the mouse button after resizing. Does anyone know of a good way to detect this or know of a creative workaround? Thanks! Aaron
Re: [flexcoders] Drag-n-dropping images from Mac OS to AIR app
Jeff,
File.nativePath is really funky on unix machines. I would try
img1.source = tempImg.url
of course, you didn't mention exactly what the breakdown was or what
behavior did happen, but that might help..

AIR gurus,
The following code in my AIR app works fine on a PC, but not on a
Mac:
protected function handleDragEnter(event:NativeDragEvent):void {

NativeDragManager.acceptDragDrop(event.currentTarget as

img1.maintainAspectRatio = true;
} else {
Alert.show(File is not an image., Oops!);

Any clues (or directionts to further research) would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding HTML page into Flex using Adobe AIR
Hi Siva, If you know the link you are trying to download you can just parse the straight html text, get the link, then submit a URLRequest for it. If the user is browsing to arbitrary pages and clicking arbitrary things, you can do a hack solution by parsing every page he lands on then when you detect a mouseclick (not sure if this is possible within the HTMLRenderer, but if it's not you can render an invisible Sprite over it and detect mouseClick), then presenting a little dialog with all the possible a href's that you parsed out for the user to select... Also, If it's a straight a href tag and not some server side script that's serving up the file, I think the HTMLRenderer's location property changes to the file URL (blah.zip) when user clicks, so when you detect non-web extensions in the HTMLRenderer just initiate a URLRequest for it... hope that helps, Lushen On 12/23/2008 11:04 PM, shiv_indian wrote: Hi Alex, This is one of requirement from our customer.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to know which DisplayObjects are underneath another?
you can check for overlapping circles (naively) with hitTest for each circle to all the otherones. whenever there's overlap, call var rect:Rectangle = getRect() for both objects. if one of them has a lower X and lower Y AND its rect.right and rect.bottom are greater than the other one, hide the other one...
