[flexcoders] FlexUnit not working

Hey all, I have a Flex3 project I am trying to add unit testing to. Currently using Flashbuilder 4.5 Pro. I am using the IDE-provided stub generators to do this. I took my real project out of the equation, and made a Flex 3 project with an app and one static function I wish to test. I creat

Alex, thanks again for you help, it got me there :) I have found the solution. The problem was that this was indeed a vector graphic I was trying to import, so I needed to bring it in as a SpriteAsset. I can addChild the SpriteAsset to component I'm working from...I can then set that componen

Hey Alex, Looks like I'm ignorant here. First, yeah, that was the only thing the trace spit out. Secondly, I have never implemented the external stylesheet with embeds other than stuff in our SWF -- so, it sounded right in my head when I said it. (and the SWF is all artsy and stuff. My home

I should add -- this all works with an image embedded in the code swf...it's just when I try to do the same thing from the external swf it doesn't work. I can use the asset as a cursor just fine, so I know there is nothing wrong the asset too. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com

[flexcoders] BitmapData from asset embedded in external stylesheet swf

2012-05-11 Thread flexwdw
I can't seem to figure out how to get the BitmapData for a resource embedded in an external stylesheet swf. I'd really like to have a piece of artwork in the swf that I can pull in via code and render into a UIComponent as a bitmap. Does anyone know how to do this? If I use the StyleManager t

[flexcoders] Cursor artwork in the stylesheet

2012-05-09 Thread flexwdw
So, using 3.6 SDK, I want to put the artwork for my cursors in the stylesheet swf rather than embed them in our executable swf. I know I can accomplish this by generating a Class for the artwork using UIComponent's getStyle("skinNameInTheStylesheetSwf") and then using that to set the cursor.

Thanks Gordon for the explanation, that makes sense. Alex, in general, we have had quite a bit of problems using states in the 3.x stuff. In short, we banned it because of the maintenance problems it caused (and a couple other reasons). That said, this is one of the places it would be more ap

A pattern I am particularly fond of when dealing with TileList(s) that use complex item renderers is to split my parameters up. I only pass items in via the "data" property which are different on a per tile basis. For items that need to be passed into the renderer that are the same for each ti
