[flexcoders] Cursor disappears intermittently on Mac
Hi, I have a AIR deployed application, and I'm running into a problem on Mac OS X. When I try to drag the window around by the title bar, the mouse cursor disappears intermittently. On Windows it's fine... Any idea? Thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] Handler functions convention
Hi, I noticed in many examples on the web handler functions mostly have a parameter event, even though the event isn't used (such as even.target). I'm wondering if there's a reason for this convention. I have to pass a null in case it isn't triggered by the event, which seems pretty cumbersome. Mike

I have to pass a null in case it isn't triggered by the event, which seems pretty cumbersome. Perhaps you could use defaults in the handler, something like login_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent = null) Gabriel -- gabriel montagné láscaris comneno http://rojored.com +44 (0) 7500 709 209
[flexcoders] Embedding fonts with a font that doesn't have bold
Hi, I'm trying to embed a font into Flex, but the font doesn't have bold style, so anywhere the application bolds the text it shows as Times New Roman. Any workaround? I have another font-name I'd like to use for bold. Thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] Re: Embedding fonts with a font that doesn't have bold
Also, if I had a choice, would it be faster embedding a font or using images - say I only have a single 200x100 sized image using the font.

Oleg's right. Thanks all.

Best. Oleg
[flexcoders] Dim application while busy cursor is on
Hi, I got a couple of questions 1. Is it possible to dim the background application (as in modal dialog) when the busy cursor is set? 2. Instead of a busy cursor, I'd like to have a progress bar in the middle of the screen. HOw is this accomplished? Thanks,
[flexcoders] Re: Dim application while busy cursor is on
Sorry one more question - I noticed that when I setbusycursor in a AIR deployed app, the regular cursor appears alongside the busy cursor. Is there a way to remove the regular cursor?

[flexcoders] Default parameters in function
Hi, I have a function
function myfunc (a:int, b:int, c:int = 0) {
}
I want to be able to call myfunc(a, b) and have c using a default
value 0, is this possible?
I tried it but it says function expects 3 arguments.

[flexcoders] String to object reference?
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to change a string to an object name. For example, I pass a string california, and there's an object named california. I would like to reference the california object. For example, this is my code right now: case california: up = california; over = california_over; break; I would like to have up = californiaString to object; over = californiaString + _over to object. Thanks, Mike

[flexcoders] Disabling focus on button when tab is pressed
Hi, I have some buttons in my UI, and I realize that when TAB is pressed, it automatically sets the focus to one of the buttons. I do not wish to have this behavior. Is there a way to disable it? Thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] Datagrid Row height
Hi, One of my rows in a data grid contains items that are larger than the default height of the cell (1 line). It's fine that it stretches, but is it possible not to have all the rows increase by the same? All the rows are bigger in height now. Please help. Mike
[flexcoders] Wrapping components
Hi, I have a newbie question on layout.I'm looking for a container component that would wrap the components inside, keeping width the same and expanding the height to fit, allowing all components inside to be visible while keeping a maximum width. I tried HBox and VBox but as you can imagine they either cut it out, or just expand in the wrong way. Please help. Thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] Loading properties files at runtime
Hi, Is it possible to localize Flex application in a way that properties file can be loaded at runtime? I know they can be made into resource modules, but I want to avoid compiling those too. Thanks, Mike
Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid mouseover
Thanks. I don't understand why it would be disabled because of itemrenderer
though.
My item renderer looks like -
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
verticalAlign=middle
height=33
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data(val:Object):void {
myLabel.text = val.Location;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Label id=myLabel
/mx:Label
/mx:VBox

*Subject:* [flexcoders] DataGrid mouseover
I have a data grid, and one of the columns I used ItemRenderer to have a
vbox and an image inside as a button.
Everything looks good except the entire column where that ItemRenderer is
used does not invoke the same mouseover events as the other columns. The
mouseover event I was looking for is highlighting the row on mouseover and
selection (with a darker hue).
How do I get the column to do mouseover again for the whole row?
Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Flash Detection
Hi, I have a program which has a normal desktop setup (installshield). After install and on launch it launches an IE window and inside it's Flex. Now I want to require minimum version of 10, but it's breaking my program using javascript detection as in http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/download/detection_kit/. My question is, is it possible to detect version of Flash not through the browser? I want to be able to read some registry. Otherwise, can I bypass the automatic detection and upgrade mechanism by any chance? I'm having major problem with the way Adobe is doing it, which is upgrading, closing the window, and relaunching the same page. Can I detect that it's less than 10, than just give user a link (redirect to some other page), without going through how Adobe upgrades inside the browser? Thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] String encoding comparison
I need to do this comparison: if (string a == string b) a is hi and b is also hi, but extracted from an XML file that has characters in other encoding (shift-JIS, japanese to be exact). this statement comes back false in Flex, which is not what I want. the statement comes back true if the XML file has complete ascii in it. so I'm guessing the byte representation of hi is different because the XML parsing engine sees there are some other characters in shift JIS and assumes hi is in that encoding as well. how do I convert it back so I can compare to the actual string hi. thanks

I cannot because of a legacy application that is embedded within Flex that is done in Java.
