Button component

hi every body,
i m on a project that allows user to select a button instance
from a list (list of pictures or buttons) and once the user selects
it, i am supposed to build a user interface with the button they
selected. i have already written my code using the default button
component. now the problem is to skin these button with different
up and down states and place them in a single movieclip. i tried it
but always ended up with a dialog box that asks to replace the
library button or reset all the buttons to default setting. i know
its possible with AS but i want to try keepin all my button designs
in library and simply calling the desired button when the user
selects it. also all my buttons should be a component type so that
whatever i have coded for default button can be used with my new
buttons.
any idea how to achieve that. please help........soon.
thanks in advance

come on buddy,
i know someones there to help me

Using the radio button component to go to a frame on a MovieClip

hello,
I am using the radio button component in Flash with a continue button.
When the user clicks their option in the radio button and then clicks continue, I want it to go to a movieClips Specific frame.
Here is the breakdown and the script I have so far is below.
The radio group os named RadioButtonGroup
The instance names for each of the three options are noviceButton,intermediateButton,expertButton
My continue button has an instance name of continueButton
and my movie clip I am trying to target has an instance name of level_mc
here is my code so far:
continueButton.enabled=false
noviceButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
intermediateButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
expertButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
function revealContinue(evt){
continueButton.enabled=true;
continueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickContinue);
function clickContinue(evt){
var frameNumber=mc_levels.Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)
gotoAndStop (frameNumber);
the problem starts with my varFrame line-I don't know how to get it to go to the movieClip and gotoAndStop at a specific frame, based on which radio button was clicked and after the continue button is clicked.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
thanks
babs

use:
continueButton.enabled=false
noviceButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
intermediateButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
expertButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, revealContinue);
function revealContinue(evt){
continueButton.enabled=true;
continueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickContinue);
function clickContinue(evt){
var frameNumber=mc_levels.Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)
level_mc.gotoAndStop (frameNumber);

Changing The Text Color In a Radio Button Component

Hi,
I'm using a background in my frame , so I need to know how
to change the color of the Radio Button Component. I tried using
the Property Inspector , but in that the color option is disabled.
The Flash version I'm using is Flash 8. Kindly provide me a
solution for this.
Thanks In Advance,
Lokesh R

There's a topic about this in the Flash help, about changing
components. You need to edit the file inside your Flash
installation folder, and make a copy of it to your liking.
But about radio buttons: is there any way to include them in
your project while maintaining the possibility of on(Keypress)
events?

How to make all Button component instances trigger rollOver sound?

Hello all--
I am using the Button component (the one shipped with CS3) in
many places in my AS3 project. I am coding in .as files, not on the
timeline.
I have skinned the Button to use the colors I like. Now I
wish to "skin" it so that all instances generate a rollOver sound,
and I'll be darned if I can figure out how.
I know I can listen for ROLL_OVER events in each Button
instance. But I have many many Buttons and it seems kludgy to add
that same code to every class I have which tracks a Button. I am
hoping there is some way I can make *all* instances of Button
respond to rollOver the same way. I am hoping it is like
setComponentStyle or changing the skin for the Button; I can do it
in one place and it works everywhere.
I guess I can listen on the Stage level for bubble-ups of
ROLL_OVER, trap those that come from Button instances, and handle
it from there, but stagewide listeners also seem a tad kludgy.
Is there some elegant way to make all my Buttons
automagically generate the same rollOver sound?
Many thanks,
Matthew Ford

It's regrettable there is no reply. But in case someone comes
across this topic, FYI I put on my main View class (to which all
other views and GUI are childed) an
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER...). The MOUSE_OVER events
bubble up to that.
Then in the listener function I see if the event.target is
Button. If it is, I trigger the sound.
Curiously, the supposedly better ROLL_OVER event did not
bubble up predictably. Sometimes it did and sometimes it did not.
But the docs say that event is not supposed to bubble for some
reason.
I still think there is a better way and I'd like to hear it.
Maybe I just need to make my own clone and adaptation of the
Button, but I am not experienced yet with creating components
(SWCs) and it appears that simply overriding the Button class with
my own .as file does not work-- the rollOver functions report
errors that they cannot be overridden.

Is sql functions or trigger possible for adf button component

while developing project using ADF BC and JSF, is possible to invoke sql functions or trigger for an adf button component. plz reply

For this you define a method in the application module which you expose to the client. Then you can drag this method onto the button. The method is call when you click the button.
Inside the method you can call pl/sql functions. Read chapter "37.5 Invoking Stored Procedures and Functions" here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvgen.htm#sm0297

Reporting Services button component

hello,
this component is new to me in dashboard design 2011. i'm wondering what types of reports can be used to get data from for the dashboard model.
is there any other documentation on this component, other then the user guide? for example, i'd like to know what the user report history option is referring to and what is contained in the reports history.
any documentation would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

hello,
thank you.
i checked out the link.
i see that i completely didn't understand the purpose of the reporting component.
for some reason, i was thinking that they button could be used to connect to something like crystal reports.
thanks again.

A customizable button component

Hi,
I'm looking for a button component that allows me to customize the text field. The Flash button component allows me to edit/reskin everything except the text field. However, I can change the buttons textField via AS, but only during run time, I want a button component that allows me to change the text field so I can see the button on the stage with out having to compile a swf.
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Then you have to create one in flash and make it a component.
Or you ceate a Button in flash and extend it as SimpleButton and work accorndingly.
Warm Regards

Error in Radio Button Component

Hi,
I wrote my problem in a past thread, but I haven't a final answer. I test my model to verify that "Centigon Input Manager" was not the problem and it is not.
I has another problem with a List Box Selector that I solved deleting their Dynamic Visibility from the List Box Component and put in a Canvas and putting the List Box without DV inside this Canvas. I did the same with the radio buttons and didn't work.I has one Panel with DV with three Canvas inside it and each one of Canvas with their own DV. Inside each Canvas I has one radio button component without Dynamic Visibility to be showed when I click a only push button. With a formula I define which of my 3 Canvas and their Radio buttons appear. Two of them was showed but one don't show anything, but the empty panel.
I put the Radio buttons directly over the Panel and put the DV to each Radio button and delete the Canvas, now show me the same 2 radio buttons and the only one radio button that didn't show now just show the left border and half of top border of component. This must be a component error.
Note 1: It's the same formula, the same features of each Canvas with their own DV. The Canvas panel is show when I click the push button but don't show one of my 3 options.
Note 2: I have Xcelsius 5.3.1.0 and Build 12.3.1.776
Any support from SAP or anybody that has the same problem? My client is waiting and I am delayed for product problems.

Are you using the reference of the base
component to access the variable that you have defined in the base component.....
If the component where you have decalred the variables is your application class of the application then you can use
Application.application.advanceSelectionCPanel

Button component and "continue" id

It is very difficult to give the word "continue" as the id for a button component. Even if you give that id, the system shows unpredictable behaviour.
Anyone having same problem?
Thanks.

kind of confused.
Do you have to use "continue" as the id? it is same as you try to name a variable as "class", "for", ... (they are all reserved by the language)
Can you use somehting like "continue_button"?

Multiline checkbox / radio button component

We're now up to Flash version 8 and we still don't have a
multiline checkbox / radio button component. Has anyone either:
a. Figured out how to add a multiline text label to the
existing Flash components; or
b. Found a third party component that has multiline labels.
I'm a developer for an eLearning company, so we use these
components all the time; so having this would be a huge plus.
Frankly, it's simply beyond me why Macromedia...er...Adobe hasn't
upgraded their components to have this feature. It seems like it
wouldn't be a big thing.
Anyway, any help you can provide would be most welcome.
Cheers,
Adam

Hopefully this might help.

Button Component Event Listeners

We have begun developing a component based eLearning
template, One of our developers (who isn't component friendly)
wants to add mouse over events to the Button component (I think
they are just being difficult). I don't see where this can be done,
but I hate to say no. Any suggestions? Even a definite yes or no
will help.
We are working on Flash 8, and are currently limited to
developing for player 6 ( I know, it sucks).

rritchey, the rollOver event does not work. Your earlier
solution works in the standard button component, only the rollover
state breaks, the the down and up states still work. In my custom
button all states break. So I consider this a half fix.
dzedward, thanks for the definite nyet. Otherwise I would
obsess over this thing even though it is something we plan not to
do, I just want to be sure before I say can't and won't.
Thanks y'all.

Button component Skin

Hi, I have been tryed to make a skin to my Ui button
component, my button has 3 movieclips. the left/right and center
mcs
The left and the right mcs should be in the edge of the
central mc that will be resized to fit the component width.
when i scale my button it stretch the mcs and it is ugly!
Is there a way to make the corners don't resize when i make
my button bigger?
Regards Hacebe

I think I have run into this problem before. You need to
readjust the size of the button in frame one under the layer title
avatar. The avatar layer seems to restrict the size of the button
to the default size. Not sure if that is what you were talking
about. Hope that it helps.

Button component wierdness

Player.fla and Controller.as are in the same folder.
Player.fla:
Button component in the library (with its assets). Document
Class = "Controller". 1 layer, 1 frame. No code in timeline.
Controller.as:
(see attached code)
My problem:
I put a button on the stage, set instance name to
playPauseBtn, change it's label to anything but "Label" in the
Parameters panel, and for some reason the button cannot be disabled
with code I attached.
Not a critical problem because I can set playPauseBtn.label =
'' in my class file and it will work, but why would the button
component require a label of "Label" in the parameter panel to
allow disabling?
I can place the playPauseBtn.enabled = false in the time and
it will work without any issues, but that's not what I want.
Posted this issue at actionscript.org and other people are
having the same problem... Is this a component bug?

It seems that simply putting return; in a document class constructor function creates this problem. In my code below, if I simply comment out the return;, labels appear. If I leave return; inside the constructor, all UIComponent labels go to their default state. Looks like a bug.
This is the document class:
package
import flash.display.*;
public class theDoc extends MovieClip
public function theDoc()
return;
Then create an FLA and put a UIComponent button onstage. Label it something. Assign the document class to the above AS. Test movie. comment/un-comment the return; and watch the button behavior. Why is this?

Flash Button Component inside of a SWC

I'm publishing a SWC from FlashCC for use in a FlashBuilder Air project and I get errors when I compile.
Inside of the SWC I have a MovieClip with a button component (fl.controls.Button). In Flash Builder I can make an instance of the MovieClip but when I run the app I get a coercion error:
cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@56ebee1 to fl.controls.Button.
If I remove the button component from the MovieClip and recompile the SWC there's no error.
If i simply try to add a button instance like this:
var b:Button=new Button();
trace(b);
addChild(b);
The button traces but I get this error
[object Button]
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null

When adding a Button directly to the app I can solve the null problem by setting the default button styles, which are included in the SWC like this:
            var btn:Button=new Button();
            btn.setStyle( "upSkin", new Button_upSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "downSkin", new Button_downSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "overSkin", new Button_overSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "disabledSkin", new Button_disabledSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "selectedUpSkin", new Button_selectedUpSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "selectedDownSkin", new Button_selectedDownSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "selectedOverSkin", new Button_selectedOverSkin());
            btn.setStyle( "selectedDisabledSkin", new Button_selectedDisabledSkin());
            btn.label="Hello";
            btn.width=100;
            btn.height=22;
            airapp.addChild(btn);
What I really want to do is avoid the coding and make button and other component instances inside of MovieClips in Flash and include them in the SWC.
I can get components to work with Flash Professional Projects, but this is an ActionScript Project, so I need the SWC.
