Can we rebrand flex based component using CSS?

Hi,
We are new to Flex.
We just built a custom grid component extending ADG using version 4. We would like the consumers (other application developers) use this component within other J2EE based applications with additional customization like
branding or themes. --- can we use external CSS ?
grid columns, order, initial sort order, filtering, , data source ( or backend service url ) to retrieve data, etc ? how can we do it? if this component is offered as an HTTP(S) url, can we pass in parameters to customize before framing it ? which is the best way ?
Please let us know whether it is possible ? If so, how best we can implement it ? Any examples out there? Appreciate if someone can share. It will help us to add this custom grid to our component repository.
Thanks in advance,
-Shiva

hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. It will be helpful if you have any examples of customization by passing in FlashVars or thru ExternalInterface. Appreciate your time and help.
For styling, it is very disappointing to know that we are limited. If there is a way to tweak in that will help while Adobe comes out with additional support for styling in future versions.

How can i change mx:Label /Label using css?

Dear Experts,
It is funny that <mx:Label> </mx:Label> doesn't have property to change the background color.
Does anyone know how can i change <mx:Label></Label> using css?
Regards,
Man Pak Hong, Dave
[email protected]

I think you have set the backgroundcolor for Label in Flex4...? In Flex3 doesn'y allow to set the background color directly...However you can use this work around if you want to set the background color.
You can also set the color for textField in the code below by using the textField styleSheet property.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="applyBGtoLabel()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Text;
private function applyBGtoLabel():void{
var textField:TextField = new TextField();textField = myLabel.mx_internal::getTextField();
textField.background =
true;textField.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label id="myLabel" text="Apply a background color for me....please" height="25" />
</mx:Application>

Can we create a custompage component using trinidad

Hi all,
We are developing a application where we need to support IE6 so we are using trinidad components for JSF. In our application all the pages have tha same look n feel. Only the central part of the page changes. I wanted to create a template and use it for all the pages but that's not allowed with IE6. So I wanted to customize the panelpage component and create a myownpage component and use it across my application.Is this possible if possible can some one give some info...Plz correct me if this will be a wrong approach

Trinidad supports Facelets for templating. Have a look at the Apache MyFaces website for Trinidad

Tomahawk tree2 component using css

hi,
Is there any way to set new style (css) to Tomahawk tree2 component ?? Can you give me an example ?
best regards,

This question is apparently about JSF. This forum is not about JSF.
To find the correct forum here you have to know that "JSF" is an acronym for [JavaServer Faces|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=427].

Site examples of using css to design for smartphone, tablet, projection

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a site that uses css to design for different platform using css. Not a standalone mobile site, but one where the existing site uses jquery to show the sites differntly.
I saw a video of it using cs5.5 and it seems to be the way forward, but would love to see how others designed/structured their sites to use this technology.
Cheers
Dave

Hi
The best place to view demo's regarding the jQuery mobile framework is the official site at - http://jquerymobile.com/. But remember designing and building a site specifically for mobiles, (tablet/mobile/cell devices) is no longer a completely different process to a normal site and all smart-phones can now display a normal desktop web site as good as a desktop pc, (and when it comes to html5/css3 even better).
The use of redirects for mobile devices is now an old outdated recommendation, and is the equivalent of saying to any tablet/smart-phone user, "Use IE7 or go-away", so unless you are mainly targeting pre-2008 devices do not bother, (Google and similar do this because they are covering 'all' devices and present a very simple page design which convert to mobiles without much difficulty). It is now a more widely accepted method to use media-queries to display a link to a mobile specific site, that is hidden on larger displays.
Do not get hung-up as some do on this site with the iPhone, it is only one of the devices that must be targeted, and is not even the most popular having a smaller market share than Android powered devices, (I personally use the iTouch, (which has the same web capabilities as the iPhone) and the Samsung Galaxy S2 for my personal testing, then SDK's and 3rd party testing services for other devices) a popular blog with many links that is specific to mobile development is - http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/.
With regards to testing on mobiles, you do not require a iPhone specifically, and if you are on the mac you can download the SDK for accurate testing, (but then what does one do for all the other devices?) and the true mark of a professional, (which I do not claim to be, my clients may, but I do not, and anyone saying they are whilst 'insulting' others must be viewed with suspicion, as inter-personal skills are also part of any designers/developers necessary skills) is knowing that you must test on all popular OS's and devices, (similar to browsers, and just testing on the iPhone is like just testing your site in IE8 and ignoring everything else) so for setting up a local testing suite see - http://www.mikebrittain.com/blog/2010/01/31/browser-testing-for-mobile-web-applications/, and/or you can also use a 3rd party service such as - http://www.deviceanywhere.com/.
For a number of tutorials on using CS5/5.5 for developing mobile site see, - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/mobile-web.html.

[svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

Revision: 3148
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-08 15:01:15 -0700 (Mon, 08 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

Creating template areas when using CSS based layout

Hi:
I'm ransitioning to pure CSS based layouts. When I used tables for layouts I could select a table cell and make that an editable template region. But when I'm setting everything up in Divs, you can't "select" a div in Layout mode. Indeed, layout mode doesn't really work at all - things are shown all jumbled and you have to use Preview or open in a browser window to see how things will look. (I'm not using the grid - maybe I should?) Is there a way to select a div and make it an editable template region?
I'm using GoLive CS2 on a Mac.
Thanks!

Is this affecting ALL text on that page?

Can I import a custom component from Flash 8 into Flex?

'm creating a custom Flash Video Playback component in Flash
8 using AS2. I understand that I cannot import this to Flex as
stated in Livedocs: "You can use SWC files created in Flash 8 only
for skinning, not as components. Until the next version of Flash is
released, you can only use SWC files created in Flex 2 as
components."
But now that Flash 8 supports AS3 with the new Adobe Labs
add-on, if I create the custom component using AS3 in Flash 8, can
I then import it and use it in Flex 2.0.1?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

I was going through my libraries trying to find the quick test I did when I was dabbling with the kit and I can't find it anywhere at all.
If I recall this was the pdf that I read to get it to work properly with CS3 and Flex 3 I don't know if you have read it already or if it will help, but it is the only thing I know for sure helped with the process.

Defining a component width using CSS

Hi,
I am using CSS to completely define the layout of my applications. I was able to remove all layout coding from the MXML/AS files (which is great!!), except one minor thing - which, unfortunately, is very important -: component size (width and height).
I can define positioning and "some" sizing using constraint layout (left="10", right="10"). But there are some cases where I need to explicitely say: "I want this component 10 pixels far from the right border, and I want it to have 100 pixels of width, no matter what happens with it's container size". In those cases I am forced to put "skinning" code in the middle of my MXML, which sucks.
Isn't there an easy way to set component dimensions using CSS? I find this a major problem with skinning applications using CSS. Or is there another proposed solution?
Thanks,
João Saleiro

CRM 2011: Can you control which form is used based not security roles, but on a field value?

I see that you can control which form is used based on security roles, but can you control it based on other field values? I'd like a new record to use a different form until a given status is updated. I have a status of draft and active. So
it would be nice if I could use form1 for those in draft, form2 for those that are active. But I only see where you can control that via the security roles.
I can code all of this via JavaScript, but having the ability to use two separate forms would be nice. Is that even possible.
Best regards,
Jon Gregory Rothlander
