Flex Community Blog

The accordion component in Flex leaves alot to be desired, and I’ve never been able to use it in a real application. I always end up doing something custom. In a current project I’m working on I’m building out an xml fed multi-tiered accordion in as3 (Flash, not Flex sdk). It’s a little involved, so I felt like throwing down a little mock-accordion to see how little code (without single letter var names!) I could write to come up with a functioning (if not silly) accordion.

I’ll write a longer post about my recent accorion (the real one) later, and some of the resources, and tips I have found…

Here’s a great tidbit I found on creating a reverse “masking” effect in as3:

http://franto.com/inverse-masking-disclosed/

below is an example using text as an inverse mask.

example

A few notes:

1) this isn’t really a mask, it’s a blendMode effect, so nothing actually gets set as a mask of anything else.

2) display order (depth) matters, as the display object we are using as the mask needs to be on top (not so with standard masks)

3) everything beneath the ‘mask” will be affected so long as it’s a child of the same parent (not so with regular masks)

4) if you’re using text, be sure to set selectable to false, or it can get weird!

5) alpha values affect the masking, if you want a full mask, have the alpha of the masking layer set to 1.

enjoy!

I’ve recently seen people talking about the inability to print images in textFields (from <img> tags) with html in AS 3.0. This isn’t really the case, although it is a bit of a pain. Here’s the scenario:

I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been involved in a big project, so will have lots to post soon. But I found a nice tidbit to share. This comes from this site:http://www.angryrocket.com/?p=113 – the link is broken – the code can be found below.

this is a great class to centralize and organize project-wide events, that any class in the project can access.

The real need for it for me came when I had a custom scroller object (the scroll bars in flex suck), that needed to see keyboard events. I wanted the keyboards events to be dispatched from the stage, and not targeted to specific instances of the scroller, as there were many. As I understand it, events dispatched from the stage do not really have a capture or bubble phase, and won’t nicely propagate up the display list, the same way they would go “down” the display list to the stage, if they were dispatched from the scroller (which they could not be in this case). So I had the stage listen for the keyboward event, and when it heard it, dispatch it through this singlton instance, whcih the scroller can invoke as a listener, and viola, it worked perfectly! All events that need to travel all over the project, to parents, grandparents, and to all points in the display list, will now do so through this great EventCentral singleton.

here’s the code:

Just to spread the word, there is a great article here with an AutoResizing TextArea component that seems to work well. I added one small thing to support resizing of htmlText too (see below).

(add this code to the component)

override public function set htmlText(value:String):void
{
// calling super method
super.htmlText = value;
// if is auto resizable we call
// the resize method
if (_autoResizable)
