Click event on mx button in custom class

creating a class called ComplexSearch and have decided to use
the button component.
as far as I can see my code is fine, but I don't get my trace
on the click event.
if I put the trace on the compontent on(click) {} it works
fine,
if I use the addEventListner method as below, but outside my
class on the time line it works fine...
any suggestions??
have attached the relevent code

for the record, after hours of frustration I have found the
answer.
Basically, it was because I had the mc on the stage, and
attached the class to it in the linkage dialogue.
This ment that instead of the constructor, I needed an onLoad
statement saee below

Trying to add a click event to a button...

Standalone Flex Builder2 fronting ColdFusion. Current line
count is a whopping 781 lines. If I try to add ANY more click
events, even to a button, I get:
<b>ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not
defined.
at global/flash. utils::getDefini tionByName( ) </b>
Notice there is not a name of the Variable in the
ReferenceError. All I'm trying to do is add:
click="currentState ='displayFilterP anel'"
All functions have been set to public. And there are no Class
definitions on the application. Any thought would be greatly
appreciated.

Anyone have an idea on this? I have rebuilt my application
romoving all subversion hidden files but still get the same error.
could it be that i changed my remoting destination and use a
variable now instead of having it in a specific link?

Click event on FSSUBMIT_ button

Why can't I edit or at least trigger the "click" method of the FSSUBMIT_ button? I am trying to call this method from another action.

You can't edit it because it is a button of type submit, which means it contains internal code to do the submit. If you put code in the click event it will no longer be a submit button.
You can trigger it's click event by doing:
FSSUBMIT_.execEvent("click");

How to bind a click event to a button that is embedded in another symbol

All-
I'm sure this is easy but ya know...
So I have a menu on the main stage that has 18 buttons. These buttons are nested inside of a symbol called MC_MENU_CONTAINER. I'm animating this symbol with show/hide buttons on the main stage, which works great. What Id like is to bind a click event to these nested buttons from the main stage. I was able to access the nested buttons with this code sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("MC_MENU_CONTAINER").$("BTN_INTRO").hide(); This hides the first button but when i try to attatch a click event to "BTN_INTRO" it doesn't work. I have the code stored on the stage using compositionReady.
Any ideas?
thx

For simple alerts, console.log, and strings, single or double quotes doesn't matter.
It does matter when you start dealing with quotes in strings. If you wanted to alert: Say "Hello", you could do it either way:
alert('Say "Hello"');
alert("Say 'Hello'");

Can a program a double click event for a button in Flash Catalyst?

I currently have a button programed in FC with a single click. I would like the exact same behavior to happen whether there is a single or double click on the same button.
Is there a way to do this in FC? If not can I pull it into another program to edit the code?
Thank you!
Sarah

Thanks for letting me know.
Unfortunatly it looks like I can't upgrade unless I upgrade my whole suite, which is a bummer. We just spent a small fortune on upgrading everyone from CS3 - SC5. I will have to check with our account rep, but I doubt I can get another software update approved this year. Maybe next.
Thanks again Chirs!

How to assign the enter pressing to the button click event of swing button?

Hello to all you pro's,
I can't find how to make my button a default button so it will respond to an enter press.
any help will be most appreciated.
thanks in advanced.

get the RootPane and call setDefaultButton on it. Something like so:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
class SwingFu2 extends JPanel
    private JButton buttonOK = new JButton("OK");
    private JButton buttonCancel = new JButton("Cancel");
    private JTextField textfield = new JTextField(12);
    private JFrame frame;
    SwingFu2(JFrame frame)
        this.frame = frame;
        ActionListener buttonActionListener = new ButtonActionListener();
        buttonOK.addActionListener(buttonActionListener);
        buttonCancel.addActionListener(buttonActionListener);
        add(textfield);
        add(buttonOK);
        add(buttonCancel);

Radio button's click event to script both ".presence" and ".mandatory" -- Need help !

Hi all,
I've adopted the script stated in HightlightOneRequiredField.pdf so that the print button in my form can detect and prevent null field before pop up the print dialog. It works fine.
In my form, I've created a mandatory 2-radio buttons group with click event script written, using ".presence", in each button. When user clicks:
Button A: make subform A visible and subform B invisible;
Button B: make subform A invisible and subform B visible.
Apart from the visibility of the subforms, what I want more is to add a .mandatory script (together with the click event) in the buttons to turn some fields' mandatory in the subforms on and off so that when user clicks:
Button A: will also turn some fields' value type in subform A to be "User
Entered-Required", whereas some of that in subform B to be "-
optional";
Button B: will turn the subform B's fields to "-Required" and subform A's
fields back to "-optional"
However no luck with me. When I press the print button after any of the radio buttons checked, the print dialog still show up even the subforms' fields are null as if those fields' value type always remain "-optional"
I wonder if this problem is caused by Chinese binding name ? The script written in the radio button B is:
FormA.presence = "invisible";
FormB.presence = "visible";
if (B1.mandatory = "disabled")
B1.mandatory = "error";
if (B2.mandatory = "disabled")
B2.mandatory = "error";
if (B3.mandatory = "disabled")
B3.mandatory = "error";
if (A1.mandatory = "error")
A1.mandatory = "disabled";
if (A2.mandatory = "error")
A2.mandatory = "disabled";
if (A3.mandatory = "error")
A3.mandatory = "disabled";
B1, B2 and B3 represent the Chinese fields' binding name in FormB
A1, A2 and A3 represent the Chinese fields' binding name in FormA
(The script in radio button A is reversed in this way.)
Have I done something wrong in the above (click event) javascript?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Raise a button's click event handler from another event handler

hi,
I am trying to raise a button's click event from another button's click event.
Automation gives a runtime error. I checked out some other forums for answers but they dont work when called from another event handler.
Console.WriteLine(gestureData.name);
if (s==b2) ;
//raise button2's click event
private void b2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("I am button2");
private void b3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("I am button3");
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Andy,
I tried to implement your suggestion.
What I am trying to do is, say there is a label whose content property needs to be updated every time a button b1 is clicked. When the button is clicked , it check if a condition is met and depending upon that condition it updates the content of the label
. Say , if the text entered is "add" and the button is clicked and the label's content is set to "add", if the text entered is "sub" and then the button is clicked, the label's content is set to "sub".
I understand that there is no need to fire up different methods for this as this can be done by checking for conditions in the same button click event but it seems that updating the UI is not happening. I get an error saying.:
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in WindowsBase.dll
The program '[6660] WpfApplication8.vshost.exe: Program Trace' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[6660] WpfApplication8.vshost.exe: Managed (v4.0.30319)' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) 'Access violation'.
this goes away when I remove the Label.Content="add" or Label.Content= "sub";
I think the label's content property does not update dynamically.
Thanks

How to listen for actionContent button click event in View

Hello,
Doing this:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener('actionContentClick',showOptions);
Results in calling showOptions() as many times as the view was showed. The handler sticks and each time I enter a view in the creationComplete hander for it I add the same listener over and over again.
How should this be done?
1. FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication is the right object to listen to?
2. I can remove the listener on view deactivate, but I am not sure if that will be called each time the view goes away.
3. Can I check if an object already has a listener and which is it?
Thank you.

Thank you, Tom.
I was complicating things for myself by exposing methods in the main MXML file to add and remove and listen to click events on a button placed in the actionContent, instead of declaring it in MXML for each and adding a listener to it. Views had different actionContent buttons or rather icons for them.
In regards to hasEvenListener, can I also get the method(s) attached to that? Probably not though.

Image Field overwrite existing click event

Using LiveCycle 8, I am creating a form which has an image which will change when the user clicks the image object.
I downloaded the trial of Acrobat Professional 8.0. In this version, instead of creating a form in Acrobat, it uses LiveCycle 8. In LiveCycle, there is no Image Button and the Static Image object cannot be scripted. It seems the choice for a dynamic image object is the Image Field. But this object has a default click event which is not required in my form.
Is there a way to replace the default click event on the Image Field object? I would like to overwrite it's click event with my own Javascript script. So far, I can add my own script in the click event, but then both my script and the browse for image file occurs.
Thanks!

You can't override an event but you could put a button over top of the image, make it the same color as the background, remove the caption and then when you click the image you are really clicking the button. You can put your code on the click event of the button. make sure the button is in the foreground and the image field is in the background.

Hi,
This is because the request is sent to the server when you refresh the page.
A workaround for this is that we can “provide a refresh link that redirects to the same page (or if you have some action causing the refresh programmatically, you could just
redirect to the page after that, with Response.Redirect)
so that page is requested by the browser (with GET method, default with hyperlinks)”.
More information:

Or we can use the Session to save a value which used as a flag for us to check whether it is a page refresh and perform accordingly.

Creating event dispatching in custom class

I have been trying to create an event dispatcher in a custom
data transfer object class. It's a simple class and I don't know
how to make it dispatch an event. I tried extending the
EventDispatcher class but that doesn't appear to work either. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached the code for the application and the custom
class. This should work from what I have read, but I can not get
the application to catch the event.

Thanks for help.

If you are talking SE54 and Maintenance Views, when I do an SM30 on the Maintenance View and do SYSTEM->STATUS, I see GUI STATUS ZULG on program SAPLSVIM. If you look at that status, I see two buttons with dynamic text. The first one is call GPRF and has dynamic text VIM_PR_STAT_TXT_CH. You can find a suitable PBO event to set the text of that function code and if that works, find a suitable PAI event to respond to that function.
I recall finding some documentation on customizing the GUI STATUS but no luck today trying to find it.
Let us know how it goes.

What is the recommended way to handle mouse click events for custom nodes that subclass Panes?

Hi,
I have created a custom node that is a StackPane containing a Label on top of a Polygon.
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Polygon;
public class CustomHexagon extends StackPane {
    private Polygon hexagon;
    private Label overlayText;
    public CustomHexagon( String text, double... points ) {
        this.hexagon = new Polygon( points );
        this.overlayText = new Label( text );
        overlayText.setStyle( "-fx-font-weight: bold;" );
        hexagon.setStroke( Color.GREEN );
        hexagon.setStrokeWidth( 5.0 );
        hexagon.setFill( Color.WHITE );
        this.getChildren().addAll( hexagon, overlayText );
// Lays out the node where it should be according to the points provided for the Polygon.
        this.setLayoutX( points[0] - getLayoutBounds().getMinX() );
        this.setLayoutY( points[1] - getLayoutBounds().getMinY() );
// Show the border of the StackPane.
        this.setStyle( "-fx-border-color: black; -fx-border-width: 1; -fx-border-style: dashed;");
    public String getOverlayText() {
        return overlayText.getText();
I want to display a tesselation of these custom hexagons. Because a CustomHexagon is a StackPane, not a Polygon, MouseClick events can be picked up when the mouse is clicked outside of the stroke of the hexagon but still within the StackPane (which takes up a rectangle larger than the hexagon). The following program demonstrates this.
public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Group root = new Group();
        CustomHexagon[] hexagons = {
            new CustomHexagon( "00", 10.0, 10.0, 30.0, 10.0, 40.0, 27.3205080756, 30.0, 44.6410161512, 10.0, 44.6410161512, 0.0, 27.3205080756 ),

After running this program, when one clicks within the intersection of two StackPanes (borders shown by dashed lines), the target of the mouse click event will be the StackPane on top as determined by the order in which they were added to their parent.
This is a problem because there is only a small "T" shaped area within each hexagon that when clicked will target that hexagon with an event, rather than adjacent nodes.
I would appreciate any reccomendations to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Hello, this is an evergreen. Just call setPickOnBounds(false) on the CustomHexagon.
An issue tracking this problem is open here: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-17024
