[flexcoders] How to send an Email with attachment
Hi Preparing an Email from Flex is easy - just navigate to MailTo: as a URL and you'r done. you can also add all relevant parameters (subject,cc, etc) as needed. My question is - how to add a file attachment when the mail client is outlook? More specifically I have 2 questions : 1) I would like to create an image of the current screen and save it to server side as file. is this - dsaving an image to a file - doable ? 2) I would like to use the created file and to attach it to an email that the user can later on send to the world. As far as I understood there is a problem with adding attachments to outlook using MailTo. Is this true? Many thanks Raz
[flexcoders] Circular Binding
Hi Does anyone knows how Circular Binding works? I've used the follwing action script code and I've expected it to go into endless loop - but it did not. Any idea why ? BindingUtils.bindProperty(item,Threshold,txtin,text); BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtin,text,item,Threshold); Thanks Raz
[flexcoders] Re: Can't seem to customize Flash ContextMenu - bug in Flex
Hi I think it is a bug in flex. It happens to while assigning a JPG image as a background to a Canvas. I overcome the problem by adding a transparent layer on top of the background and adding the ContextMenu to it. Raz --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One thing to know about my app is that it has a jpg on the background and no backgroundColor. One way I found to work around it was to wrap a canvas container around all my UI objects and set the backgroundColor t= 0xFF and backgroundAlpha = 0. I don't think a workaround like this should be necessary.

So if there's any app background not covered by a UI object you'll see the default Flash ContextMenu when you right-click on it. How can this be handled For sure, I want to suppress the default context menu in my app for the entire area of the player.

And you can get the flash context menu from anywhere on the screen that there isn't a UI item. Basically the controls are resting right on top of the application - there's no intermediary container. It seems like the reference you get to the application (Application.application) is still one level (or so) down from the player itself. How do you get a reference to the player so you can set its context menu?

But I am guessing that your Application has absolute width/height specified in your MXML. And your html-wrapper has different (greater) width/height. That's the only case, in my opinion, when flash-player's stage gets exposed. Try to keep the dimensions specified in MXML and HTML same. -abdul On 1/25/07, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got an app which I create a custom context menu for during initialization, but I've noticed that the context menu only shows up when I right click on UI objects (Tree, ApplicationControlBar, etc). but still I get the default Flash context menu when I right click on the background of the app. I've tried setting my custom menu to Application.application.contextMenu, but the behavior is the same.

[flexcoders] Click, dbl-Click and Drag for the same Object.
Hi
I've encountered a situation in which I had to provide both click,
dbl-click and drag for the same graphical element.
I'm kinda of new to flex so I'm not sure the solution here is the best
- but it works
In principal the solution handles both mouseDown and mouseDown events on
the object. In a MD event just add a listener for mouseMove (for
drag). In a MU event thing are more complex:
1) keep the current event time
2) Remove the mouseMove event listener (it is not a drag...)
3) Check vs. last MU event time if this is a Dbl click or click
a. If it might be a click you will need to wait to setup a timer
that will wait for 1-2 seconds to fire the click.
b. If it is a dbl click Remove the timer and do the Dbl-click
actions.
Attached is the code with Alert.show for each situation.:
public var KeepLastMouseUp:Number =0;
public var ticker:Timer = new Timer(1000,1);
public function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
KPIBox = e.currentTarget as Canvas;
KPIBox.parent.setChildIndex(KPIBox,KPIsData.length-1);
KPIBox.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mouseMoveHandler);
}
public function mouseUpHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
KPIBox = e.currentTarget as Canvas;
KPIBox.parent.setChildIndex(KPIBox,KPIsData.length-1);
var dt:Date = new Date();
var tm:Number = dt.getTime();
KPIBox.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mouseMoveHandler);
if ((tm - 1000 )KeepLastMouseUp) { //regular click.
KeepLastMouseUp = tm;
ticker.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, runClick);
ticker.start();
return
}
//dbl click identified
KeepLastMouseUp=0;
ticker.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, ClickPressed);
Alert.show(Dbl Click);
}
public function ClickPressed (e:TimerEvent):void {
Alert.show(click);
}
public function mouseMoveHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
KPIBox.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mouseMoveHandler);
Alert.show(start move);
}
[flexcoders] Watermark and other stuff
Hi there I have 2 questions for you - the graphical experts - out there: * What is the best way to present a picture as a watermark .I tried using the Application Background Image Tag on a GIF but the GIF colors were distorted and the watermark effect was lost [:((] . How can I overcome this? Is someone familiar with another method? * I'm looking for a method to turn the white background in GIF into transparent. Is there a way for doing such an action? [:-] Thanks a million Raz
