How can I use TweenLite to implement effect of Flex's PopUpManager?
I am using greensock tweenlite for sample
here a code for creating simple tweenlite effect on popup using PopUpManager
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
[Bindable]
private var titleWindow:TitleWindow;
private function createTweenlitePopup():void{
titleWindow=TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,TitleWindow,true));
titleWindow.title = "This is my title window";
TweenLite.to(titleWindow, 1.5, {x:100});
}
and button calling createTweenlitePopup() to create popup is
<mx:Button click="{createPopup()}"/>
Hopes that helps

I'm having trouble in rotating the header text in my datagrid. I don't know understand the reason why its failing.Can someone help?
Datagrid column AS3 code:
dgc=new DataGridColumn();
dgc.dataField=columnName.gene;
dgc.labelFunction=gridLabelFunction
dgc.headerText=columnName.gene;
//dgc.headerWordWrap=true;
dgc.headerRenderer=new ClassFactory(VDGHeader);
dgc.width=20;
_datagridColumnsArray.push(dgc);
Please find my Header Renderer component below
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import mx.managers.SystemManager;
[Bindable] private var text:String;
[Bindable] private var src:String;
override public function set data(value:Object):void{
var col:DataGridColumn = value as DataGridColumn;
text = col.headerText;
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:Label id="txtLbl" text="{text}" rotation="10" width="100%" />
This actually doesn't have anything to do with column headers.
To rotate text in Flex you must embed the font. Otherwise the rotation will simply be ignored.
See Adobe's docs on Embedding Fonts
I am trying to learn Flex and Actionscript. I found the Moock quiz example in Flash and want to turn it into a Flex application. I am trying to understand the relationship between the actionscript and the mxml. How do I take the class QuizApp and place its contents in a container in the mxml file?
MXML
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import QuizApp;
var ms:QuizApp = new QuizApp;
protected function init():void
{
msc.addChild(ms);
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:VBox id="msc" />
Class
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.Button;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
public class QuizApp extends Sprite {
//for managing questions:
private var quizQuestions:Array;
private var currentQuestion:QuizQuestion;
private var currentIndex:int = 0;
public function QuizApp() {
quizQuestions = new Array();
createQuestions();
createButtons();
createStatusBox();
addAllQuestions();
hideAllQuestions();
firstQuestion();
}
... etc
}
}
I am trying to understand the relationship between the actionscript
and the mxml.
MXML is an ActionScript code generation language. When you write MXML, the Flex compiler does some "magic" to turn your MXML file into an ActionScript class. You can save this generated code by specifying the 'keep-generated-actionscript' argument to the Flex Compiler. I'll often shorten it to'-keep' and it works fine.
MXML masks a lot of the complexity that is going on under the scenes.
I hope that helps set your frame of expectations.
To use your "Flex agnostic" ActionScript Sprite Class inside of a MX Flex Container, you should be able to use it just like any other class you create. First, import the namespace at your top level tag of your component:
myNamespace:xmlns="*"
Then you should be able to use it, like this:
<myNamespace:QuizApp id="quizAppInstance" />
If you're using a Flex 4 Spark Container, you need something that implements IVisualElement; which a Sprite does not. However, you can wrap your own class inside of a SpriteVisualElement class without too much effort.
Sorry i am new with flex , i need some help.
I have created a mxml file , and i would like to display it in a pop up window.
i have alrdy done the pop up window, but i couldn't display the mxml file i have done .
I am not trying to call the pop up window in the mxml page.
this is my popup window i have done:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.controls.Text;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="Cancel" click="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);"/>
Thanks
Right before your <mx:Button> open a new tag ('<') and start typing the file name of your MXML file. Flash builder should auto complete it for you. It should look something like this:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.controls.Text;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<yourComponentNamespace:YourCustomComponent />
<mx:Button label="Cancel" click="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);"/>
That's it. You can now set properties just like you would normally on all other components.
P.S. If you're new to Flex and are just starting, why are you using Flex 3 instead of the newer Flex 4 components? (mx = Flex 3, s = Flex 4).
Maybe a simple question but I'm having alot of trouble making a button change the view of a Flex blackberry playbook app. I am coding it entirely in actionscript, no MXML.
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSomethingOnClick);
private function doSomethingOnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigator.pushView(view.Login, "testdata");
}
When I try this I get:
1120: Access of undefined property navigator.
Which is weird as it works in a MXML file. How do I change views in actionscript?
Thanks
Phil
EDIT:
Cheer J_A_X, but now i have:
navigator = new ViewNavigator();
navigator.pushView(net.airpoint.assessments.view.Login, " ");
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Apologies, as I realise this is really simple stuff but it just isnt clicking!

Something isn't right. If it's a Flex Mobile Project, you need an Application at the top level (you know, like how Flash Builder created the project with an mxml file). Either you create an actionscript file that extends Application as mentioned here or you just use an mxml file for the root component.
However, your argument to 'not use mxml' is redundant if you're using Flex components. If you're using Flex components, you're using mxml no matter what, so there's no performance increase. If anything, RIM is recommending to use AS only because their SDK is AS only (which is idiotic anyways). You could always add their UI component through AS in mxml files.
So really, the point is moot and you should just use mxml anyways since it's better than straight AS for UI layout and skinning. Either that or go Pure AS with no Flex components.
I think using Sprite is ok in an ActionScript project.
But if you're using ActionScript instead of Flex just because of the QNX components, then you could switch your project to Flex and follow these instructions to use the QNX components there: Using qnx.ui.picker.Picker in mobile Flex Hero project for Blackberry Playbook
hello i want to apply tween motion on UIcomponents using actionscript in flex.
i searched alot but didn't find something useful help required.
thanks in advance.
The code below creates a move tween for a button in actionscript.
Clicking anywhere on the screen will move the button to that location.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" click="moveButton(event)">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.effects.Move;
private function moveButton(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myMove:Move = new Move();
myMove.target = myButton;
myMove.xTo = event.stageX;
myMove.yTo = event.stageY;
myMove.play();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button id="myButton" />
</mx:Application>
For a more advanced example you could look at the Flex documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=createeffects_3.html
It shows an example how to extend and use the TweenEffect class to create your own effect class.
