[flexcoders] Stop Key press
How can i disable/ suppress the default behavior of a button, where if it has focus then space-bar key-press fires the click event. Basically I want click to work as normal, but space-bar Key-press if it's the space bar, do nothing. This Key-Press/Spacebar issue allows Modal popup windows to be opened up - more than once, which defeats the point of modal popup window. I'm using Flex 3 (not 3.2 and can't migrate at this stage.) Any help appreciated :-)
[flexcoders] Re: Stop Key press
Sorry Kenneth i should have said, i also have buttons that don't have popups. I just want to disable this 'feature'. Do you know how i can do this? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Kenneth Sutherland kenneth.sutherl...@... wrote: I remember coming across this issue quite a while back and it's because your new modal window hasn't taken the focus away from the button which opens the popup. When you create and show the popup use the focusmanager to give a button or whatever you have in your popup focus. That way when the user presses space bar again it will not be 'clicking' the button which originally opened the modal window. HTH Kenneth.

[flexcoders] Re: Generating random colors, excluding others
Thankyou Sunil for replying to my question. your example uses flash player 10, i can not view the example or the code for it. as it breaks my Flex builder, (still using Flex 3.0) I'm at a delicate stage of my project and can't afford Flex builder breaking and having to reinstall it all! Do you happen to have the code snipit, which i can see without using FlashPlayer 10. I expect to go to 10 in a month or so. But am trying to solve this issue now. Your help is greatly appriciated. Once again thank you for responding. :-) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, sunild99 sunilbd...@... wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gr33neye501 devarc@ wrote: Hi guys I'm trying to generate a series of random colours, but would like to exclude certain colour and closely related shade.

I saw you message this morning, and whipped up an example of my ColorManager class using Degrafa: http://blog.sunild.com/2009/01/generating-many-different-colors-with.html To exclude colors, you can modify the code that generates colors to omit the hues you don't want.

[flexcoders] Re: Displaying a date in a line chart
Thanks guys (Tom and yourself), I want to stick with the DateTimeAxis, for the very reason the you just mention. my data is already collection of dates and want to/need to keep it that way. So label function it is then. Thanks once again. J. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, sunild99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Here are two approaches I've used: 1) Using a DateTimeAxis: If the data representing your dates is in the format that can be easily converted into a Date object (see docs for the Date constructor), your DateTimeAxis will understand the dates implicitly. Otherwise, you need to write a parseFunction (see DateTimeAxis docs) so your data can be converted into a Date object. Then as Tom suggested, use the labelFunction property to specify a function that will return a properly formatted date string ... in the labelFunction use a DateFormatter to print the dates in the UK format ( or just use the Date object's toLocale method). 2) Using a CategoryAxis: Instead of using a DateTimeAxis, consider using a CategoryAxis. This approach is similar, except now you don't need to worry about writing a parseFunction. Just write a labelFunction as described above. The CategoryAxis won't deal with dates as nicely as DateTimeAxis, but it works nicely for fixed date ranges (it wouldn't be so good for doing a Google Finance type of chart where you can change time frames of the chart). Check out the docs for the labelFunction and parseFunction properties of the DateTimeAxis (or CategoryAxis). They show the function signature that's required, from there it's easy :) Sunil --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton tom.chiverton@ wrote: On Wednesday 10 Sep 2008, gr33neye501 wrote: The data is a collection of Date objects, and is displayed in US format.
