Flex 4.6 Mobile Scrollbar optimisation prevents setting scroll position?

Hi All,
With the release of flex 4.6 , it appears the mobile version of the scroller has been optimised. Now the scroller defers creation of the scroll bar until the user interacts with the scroller.... Which all sounds good performance wise, faster page creation etc...
But if I want to move the scroller position before the user has interacted with the object , IE to jump to particular position before they start scrolling, I'm not sure what to do. Orginally I would have done something like...myScroller.horizontalScrollBar.value = 100 ... but of course myScroller.horizontalScrollBar is now null.
Am I missing something - is there another way.
J

Ok found a work around...
I extended the scroller class and added a couple of functions like...
public function scrollerCreateHScrollBar():void
    if ( !this.horizontalScrollBar && this.horizontalScrollBarFactory)
            this.horizontalScrollBar = HScrollBar(this.createDynamicPartInstance("horizontalScrollBarFactory"));
            Group(this.skin).addElement(this.horizontalScrollBar);
            partAdded("horizontalScrollBar", this.horizontalScrollBar);
then called to create teh scoll bars when I want them...
Hurra.

JScrollPane - can you set scroll position?

I have a JList loaded into a JScrollPane, and I call a method that highlights a row of the JList, but I can't figure out how to get the JScrollPane to scroll down.
Is there a method where I can manually set the scroll position? I looked at the documentation online and didn't see anything like that.
Thanks.
-Mark

You need to get a reference to the JScrollPane's JViewport
myPane.getViewport();
Then on the viewport you can call one of these.
scrollRectToVisible(Rectangle contentRect)
setViewPosition(Point p)

Hi,
Do you have anything in KEY-LISTVAL trigger? If not, create a KEY-LISTVAL trigger (for the item), and do something like this.
declare
cur_rec number;
begin
cur_rec := TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD);
SHOW_LOV('<YOUR_LOV>');
go_record(cur_rec);
end;The idea is, preserve the current record position before showing the lov and then go to that position after showing the lov.

Problem in setting desired position for JPanel in JScrollPane!!!

Dear Friends,
I am having problem to set desired Scrollable(JScrollPane) JPanel position. I have a JPanel in a JFrame which is scrolable with lot of objects. It automatically displays on the top position inside JScrollPane, I want to set scroll position on the middle for the panel.
I went through the search for the same in this forum, i found some posts related to this but they are linked with JTextArea(setCaretPosition). With JPanel i can't set caret position.
Could anyone guide me how to set the scroll position on middle.
Regards..
Jayshree

Replace:
if(view.getValueAt(row,column) instanceof ImageIcon){
        ((Component)view.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getCellRenderer().
        getTableCellRendererComponent(view,view.getValueAt(row,column),true,true,row,column)).setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
      else
        ((Component)view.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getCellRenderer().
        getTableCellRendererComponent(view,view.getValueAt(row,column),true,true,row,column)).setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
      }with:
if(view.getValueAt(row,column) instanceof ImageIcon)
        view.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
      else
       view.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));

This is the error because the runtime does not find any way to call Java script that usally is called through External interface. So my guess is you are using a AIR project. U just need to download the latest swc http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/downloads/list for destop in your case and don't forget to but FBJSBridge.js to put in your source that will b used to help AS call Facebook API from AIR runtime
Hope it make some sense

Flex 4.6 Mobile Forms

There doesn't seem to be much discussion about the lack of mobile form support in a Flex 4.6 mobile apps - does anyone have any suggestions as to where is the best place to get started on a multi-page/view form running?
As far as I can tell from the AS3 documentation - <s:Form> can run on a mobile device - IF you develop your own mobile skin.
I would have thought there would be a huge outcry over lack of mobile form support - but as far as I can tell through much googling and research offical Adobe Evangalist blogs - no one seems to need or want mobile forms?
Am I alone here? Once again, any suggestions on developing multi-view spanning forms??

You don't have access to FORMS, but you can build your own form-like layouts. I've been laying them out myself. Using HGroups nested inside VGroups etc ... It takes more time, but on the mobile devices, you want to pay more attention to UI anyway.

Flex 4.6 mobile broke TextInput

I'm currently in the process of upgrading a Flex 4.5 mobile project to 4.6 and have run into issues with TextInput's.
Currently on most of my views you cannot click(tap) a TextInput and insert text. The field does not seem to take focus and no text appears when you type. I've tried this on a phone as well as on my computer. The weird thing about this is that I have two views where the TextInput's seem to be working. I have also removed all code, MXML and AS3, from a view where input's don't seem to be working and replaced it with a generic TextInput. Even after doing this the text field doesn't seem to be working.
I have tried to reproduce this outside of this project but can't seem to be able to. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

I have the same issue but isolated in a very simple app. I havent tested it in Android, but in iOS it is VERY Buggy...
you just need to have this to reproduce:

Problem creating a Flex 4.5 mobile Scroller

I have created a 'new' Scroller component by copying all the code from the spark Scroller into a new actionscript file, renaming it, updating import statements and adding any files I need to include to the local directory. I'm having to do this because I need to change something in a private method and basically I don't know any other way.
Everything seem to work fine except a couple of lines in the ensureElementPositionIsVisible method.
This one
    var delta:Point = layout.getScrollPositionDeltaToAnyElement(element, elementLocalBounds, entireElementVisible);
and
     var eltBounds:Rectangle = layout.getChildElementBounds(element);
I am getting these errors 'Call to a possibly undefined method getChildElementBounds', and 'Call to a possibly undefined method getScrollPositionDeltaToAnyElement'. There is a little bit of code before this that sets the layout variable to either a GroupBase layout object or SkinnableContainer layout object.
     if (viewport is GroupBase)
                     layout = GroupBase(viewport).layout;
     else if (viewport is SkinnableContainer)
                     layout = SkinnableContainer(viewport).layout;
My hunch is that there is a problem with the viewport not being defined somehow, or possibly the skin. If anyone knows how I can fix this so that I can change the Scroller classes private methods, then I would be truly grateful.

In the same folder as this mxml file create the folder spark/components and copy the file Scroller.as from the sdk into it. Also copy the spark/styles folder and the file core/version.as. It compiles with no error. Edit scroller.as and the change is seen in the compiled swf.

Flex 4.6 mobile mp3 player....create progressBar

how to create progressBar for mp3 player in flex 4.6 mobile???
help me please!!!!

consider this scenario:
1. user click a button and advances to the next view.
2. here clicks a textinput so it focuses and soft keyboard appears
3. user click back key on his phone - soft keyboard retracts (no backkeypressed event caught)
4. textinput still has the focus border around it (why?) and user clicks back key again - application goes in the background for a couple of seconds and closes itself.
I attached the .fxp for the test project

Communicate a Web application (Flex) with a mobile Apllication (Flex)

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to communicate a Web application (Flex) with a mobile Apllication (Flex).
when I Click on a button in my web application I receive an alert in my mobile application.
if you have any ideas I would be very grateful.
Regards.

I tried that but my problem is that the code is so old. At least what I saw. I don't know how old is too old and I'm trying to do things "right." I saw code from 1998, but I don't know if that's still what you do. It might still work, but that doesn't mean it's correct. There's so much out there on Java that so old that half the time I'm not sure what to do because some other technology in J2EE or the latest Java SDK might have come up with a new way to do things. Thanks.

Setting scroll bar to inbisible when not needed

Here is the post again, some quotation marks came out as
letters before. This is correct version
I'm using AS 2.0, and have added a
scroll bar with instance name: ...................sb1
a dynamic text field with instance name:.... tb1_txt
an external text file named as:....................home.txt
I want to make the scroll bar invisible or transparent, when
its is not needed. I'm thinking that I may have to use the _visible
property, but not sure of the correct code to integrate this.
Any suggestions anyone?

// Note:
Create a movie clip to put the code into
Use only 2 frames
Use 2 layers
Layer 1 put the action script
Layer 2 put the textarea and the scrollbar
Put a keyframe on each frame in only the Action Script layer.
The 2nd layer should only have a keyfram on the first frame
and span both frames 1 and 2.
On the first frame (do not put a stop() method here)
- set the visibility of the scrollbar to false
- set the text content / value of the textarea
On the second frame
- Put the action script
stop();
if(textDisplay.maxscroll > 1){
textscroll._visible = true;
} // if
