Flex Style Explorer - Backgrounds

The Flex style explorer has some awesome backgrounds:
http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex3StyleExplorer.html#
Upon inspecting the source code, these background assets all come from "backgrounds.swf" -- anybody know if the actual bitmap pictures of these background are available anywhere?

In your Start menu, right-click on the Adobe Extension
Manager CS3 and explicitly Run as administrator or they won't
install properly under Vista.
I had trouble installing the Kuler extension, but Rolinstone
solved the problem here:
http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2007/08/adobe-fireworks-cs3-kuler-panel.html
That should fix it. It worked for me on a couple of
extensions. I'm using CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

Where is the Adobe Flex Style Explorer Sample App

Hello,
I was finding this app extremely helpful since I was styling controls verry easy with it, and then just copy and pasting it to my css file.
Now this app is not reachable any more.
Can someone help with a valid link ?
Thanks!

Flex component explorer

I have an application that I would like to develop that is
basically like the flex component explorer. Any chance of getting
this code?
Thanx

Hi, Peter. Yes, I found the link. I would like to see the
source for the following link
http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/componentexplorer/explorer.html
for the "tree".
Peter, you have at least 100 examples of trees, but none of
them show how to link from the nodes to a new page in the panel on
the right side. If you have the code for this zip it up and send to

Kevin Hoyt's flex file explorer

Hi
I need Kevin Hoyt's flex file explorer example (
http://blog.kevinhoyt.org/2004/12/06/file-explorer-in-flex).
It was located on www.markme.com which has been disactivated.
Anyone know where I can get a hold of this example?
Thx.

The file is still available, and this link works fine for me.
The site is also active. If you cannot reach the domain, you must
have a DNS or some other issue.

Flex 4 Container background colors?

Ok, I've spent over an hour now trying to figure out the proper way of doing this in Flex 4... I have a container that I want to set the background color of. In Flex 3, I would use Canvas, VBox, or HBox depending on my layout needs. With Flex 4, what am I supposed to use? None of the containers I've tried- Group, SkinnableContainer, etc. accept backgroundColor. Is this a style that is now only available by writing a custom skin? Should I just fallback to using VBox, HBox, and Canvas?
Thanks!

tehxike,
This worked for me in Flex 4.0.0.12121 (the Border container was recently renamed BorderContainer, you'll have to modify the code or try downloading a newer Flex 4 SDK from http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4 ):

Flex 2 Beta 3 Flex Component Explorer

Is there some valid or explainable reason that every time I
click on a
component in the explore I am being asked to restart my
computer?

Yes, the code hints pop ups do not work for me, I have a
thread in the
flex_builder forum on this point. They lock out my keyboard
when they
pop up.
> Do you get an error message?
Nope just the "System Settings Change" MS Windows dialog box
saying,
"You must restart your computer before the new settings will
take
effect. Do you want to restart your computer now? Yes | No"
This
happens whenever I click on the component links on the left
side menu.
If I say yes, my computer reboots. If I say no nothing
happens and no
component example.

Stand alone Flex Builder 2 Beta 3.

Boot-up Disk Choice in in Yosemite Style (black background) instead of white

I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 currently running OS X Mavericks.
Yesterday I installed OS X Yosemite on a partition of my external HDD to try it out, and everything went smoothly.
After a while I rebooted Mavericks and deleted the partition containing Yosemite.
The problem now is that when I boot pressing the "option" key I still get the Yosemite style window with the bootable disks on a black background instead of the usual white of Mavericks.
I don't know what this means and how in can be possible, since I deleted the whole partition that was on an external HDD.
Thanks for the help

HI,
There are no known Mac viruses.
Try booting from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
If you can't boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

Adobe style explorer (Missing from CS4)

Hi
I have just updated Illustrator from CS2 to CS4. The one thing I have noticed that is slowing me down is that the Adobe style file browser is missing!?
On CS2 I was able to click on Save as and the next window that comes up you could choose either a Operating system style or Adobe style. On the Adobe style I could save shortcuts to folders from which I could quickly save files to.
Any chance that I can get this back!?
Regards
Matthew

Thanks for that!
Thats a bit anoying! I liked to add shortcuts to various folders, can't do that with the normal explorer!
Thanks

JTextPane styles and backgrounds

Hi
i'm trying to implement bracket matching where the background of the brackets is changed. it works fine for the most part but one strange problem happens depending on where the caret comes from. i've posted some test code below which if you run it you'll see what i mean.
basically it works ok except when you move the caret with the arrow keys from the left of the bracket when it is currently highlighted. so basically do the following to see what i mean:
1. position the caret to the right of the inserted text - say 2-3 characters.
2. use backspace to delete those characters up to the bracket so the bracket becomes highlighted.
3. now move the caret with the arrow keys to the left of the bracket.
4. move the caret back over to the right of the bracket and type some characters.
you will notice that the background of those characters is highlighted when they shouldn't be. the style doesn't exist at this point - why is it being applied???
strangely if you don't move the caret to the left and then back over to the right of the bracket after deleting text, it doesn't happen!!! the state in both cases at the caret position is the same - yet for some reason having moved it one char to the left over the bracket and back again stuffs it up.
i've dumped the elements at this point and i can't see where the style is coming from.
there is also a caret listener as a part of this i haven't added as it doesn't seem to affect the result (as you can no doubt see).
where is this style coming from?? to me it looks like a bug - or i've stuffed something up somewhere. has anyone else experienced such a thing??
any suggestions would be appreciated. this one has me stumped!!! i have tried it using both jdk1.4.2_05 and 1.5beta - happens in both.

                    super.insertString(offset, text, normal);
                    updateBraces(offset + 1);

How to include beehiveonline in Oracle Content Servers for quick navigation in "style" explorer?

I can see my stbeehive workspaces so that it is easier to manage the moving of documents between one folder and another. But I am not able to configure beehiveonline content.
Can someone help?
Thank you
Chiara

Could you please provide more information on what you trying to configure? Are you trying to configure BOL workspaces in explorer? If so its the same way as ST Beehive workspace but the URL is different. You can use OBEE or any webdav client.

Stopping Flex Style Inheritance

Hey everyone,
I'm using a TitleWindow as a container for several controls.
A lot of the internal controls are RichTextEditors and other things
based off the Panel control. Such internal controls inherit the
styles from the TitleWindow, but I don't want them to. I attempted
inheriting TitleWindow and using the following metadata:
[Style(name="headerColors", type="Array", arrayType="uint",
format="Color", inherit="no")]
But I get this error:
Declaration of style 'headerColors' conflicts with previous
declaration in
C:\dev\flex3_sdk\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/controls/DataGrid).
Anyone know how to accomplish what I want without having to
apply the "normal" style to all my child controls?
Thanks!

Changing styles, removing background in navbar

I'm stumped…
I've customized an iWeb theme (Elegant) and want to use the navbar provided at the top of the page but would like to change the font, capitalization (not all caps), and, most importantly, remove the iWeb-provided background and add my own.
But the box in which the navbar appears seems impervious to any change other than being resized, or, of course, deleted with the Inspector. The navbar box only has horizontal handles and nothing within can be selected, even with the links deactivated. I've scoured the Inspector and messed with it for hours but nothing works. Does anyone know have any ideas about what to do?
Thanks,
Christopher

That is because the nav bar supplied with the page templates cannot be changed as you have found, other than re-sizing, moving around and hiding with the use of the Inspector.
It is a javascript based nav bar, so if you want anything different on your site, you need to hide it and build your own text based nav bar using text boxes and shapes and you can place this wherever you want to on your site - top, bottom, sides or a mixture of both and don't forget to hyperlink your pages to them.
The joy of a text based nav bar is that your site will then be found better by search engines - they don't always pick up java and lots of PC's have java turned off so they won't be visible at all.
