How to make path object clickable in flex 4.0

hi , i apprechiate if any one can help me out with my problem here as i am new to flex
I am developing a flex web application and in one my components i need to draw paths around some shapes , i did this easily but my problem is that i need to make changes in response to user mouse click or mouse hover events over that path.
the problem is that the path object do not have any events accept the activate event. any one can help me out on this one .

thanks for your reply but my problem is not to recreate the path based on an event
what i need is to listen to the click event on the path itself after it is created and diplayed to the user so that when the path is clicked i can change application state.

How to make shape objects clickable/selectable in transformgroups in java 3

I am building a visualizer program that has Java 3D components inside Swing components. I have a branchgroup inside a canvas3d inside a simpleuniverse, which is added to a JTabbedPane. Inside the branchgroup I have multiple transformgroups each with one shape in them (box, cone, sphere, cylinder). Each transformgroup has the ability to rotate, zoom, and tranlate objects because I have incorperated a MouseZoom, MouseRotate, and MouseTranslate object as from the Java 3D library functions (these are applied to each transformgroup every time one is created and added to the branchgroup). My problem is that I am trying to make these shapes clickable/sectable/dragable/dropable on the screen - currently when I try to translate ONE object all the shapes move on the screen and I cannot get just one shape to move (all shapes move when I only want one to). How do I make only one shape move when it is clicked?
I know the question is kind of out there and specific so if anyone knows how to generically give transformgroups/shapes drag and drop properties that would also help a great deal. Does anyone know how to to this? Thanks a ton.

shape uses the contains and intersects methods, is that what you need? Without code it is hard to guess what is required.

How to make any object self-shining?

hi,
i guess thats an easy question, but i dont know where to look for the answer.
so how to make any object self-shining like the infamous colorcube, so that one does not need to place any light?
and am I right in my assumption that doing so will reduce the need of rendering power, since lights dont have to be computed?
thanx,
Usul

I'm not sure what you mean here- if your object is lit then lighting will need to be calculated. If you don't want shapes to be lit, I think you can disable it by calling setLightingEnable(false) in their materials.

How to make an object mutable?

Can any one tell me how to make an object mutable?
Following is Class X & Y?
class Y
public static void main(String arg[]) {
X a1=new X();
Object a=a1.get();
System.out.println(a.toString());
a1.set(a);
System.out.println(a.toString());
class X implements Serializable
public Object get(){
return new Object();
public synchronized void set(Object o)
o=null;
In my class Y when i say
a1.set(a);
I want local Object a of main method should be nullified.
Can it be possible if yes what is the way or code to be applied so that
my next a.toString() statement will give me NullpointerException.

Isn't it more accurate to say that object references are passed by value?
OP -- Basically you can't to what you want to do. When you "pass an object" as a method parameter, what you're really passing is a copy of the reference that points to the object. You now have two refs pointing to the same object--one in the caller and one in the method being executed. Setting either of those refs to null does NOT affect the object itself, and does NOT affect the other ref. It just means that the ref that's been set to null no longer points to any object.
If you want the called method to make a change that the caller can see, you need to either 1) return a value from the method, 2) encapsulate the object to be changed as a member of new class, or 3) pass the object to be changed as the single element of an array. I would STRONGLY recommend against (3) as a way to simulate pass by reference. Better to examine your design and determine whether (1) or (2) more closely matches what you're really trying to accomplish.

How to make an object distributed across multiple jres?

Hi,
We used cache data mechanism for performance tuning. It will store data in static variable (Hashtable) and get initialized when app starts . We are using IPlanet Application Server and
Using 6 KJS engines. This object ( Hashtable) is not distributed across all JRES.It has to reinitialize data again when request goes to any other KJS.
We avoid sharing data in session and request, as data is huge.
Can any one help us how to make this object distributed across all KJSs?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest that a better approach is to implement this as an Entity Bean and accessed from Session bean and using Value Objects to return the data subsets.

How to make Shape3D object translucent

Hi,
How to make Shape3D object (like Box, Cylinder) translucent? I tried the below option but the box is not becoming translucent at all.
final PhongMaterial redMaterial = new PhongMaterial();
redMaterial.setSpecularColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
redMaterial.setDiffuseColor(Color.rgb(10, 255, 15, opacity));
final Box box = new Box(width,height,depth);
box.setMaterial(redMaterial);
When opacity is 1, the color of the box will be Green, when it is 0 the color becomes black.
Is there any way the box can be made translucent?

There is at least one unresolved issue concerning PhongMaterial's transparency: RT-28874.
I'm neither able to get it working properly. My red Sphere also fades to black while varying the opacity value from 1.0 to 0.0.

How to make form fields "Clickable"

Hey Guys,
I created a Fillable PDF Form with Form fields using ADOBE Acrobat 9.0 Pro-Ex + LiveCycle Designer for Windows XP.
My question is when you create a form, is there a way to make form fields "clickable" instead of just auto-tab? Because if you mess up when filling out the form, you don't want to have to tab through the whole document just to get back to that spot. How can i fix that?
My other question is, when printing the form, the form field "text boxes" always show up. Is there a way to hide the boxes and just print the form without them. (The information that was filled in will still show, just the outline of the boxes won't?)
Thanks a bunch,
Joseph

Unfortunately I don't know enough about Designer to tell you what you did to make the boxes unclickable, but for me I've never had an issue doing that.
However, I can tell you what you need to do to get rid of the boxes around each of your text fields.
1. In design mode, select the field(s) you wish to get rid of the borders on. (If all you have are text fields, you can press Ctrl+A to select all fields. If not, you can hold down the Ctrl button while left-clicking each field to change all text fields at once.)
2. Open the Object window (Shift+F7 toggles this on and off). Find the option for Appearance.
3. Click the drop down menu next to Appearance and choose none.
4. The borders will now be gone from the text fields.

How to make a sphere clickable

Hi guys,
I've been programming in Java for a while, and am very new to Java3D. I have the code below which displays a simple sphere in a box. I have some things I'd like to do but am unsure of how to go about them.
import com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.*;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.*;
import javax.media.j3d.*;
import javax.vecmath.*;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.behaviors.mouse.MouseWheelZoom;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.*;
public class prototype1 {
public prototype1() {
SimpleUniverse universe = new SimpleUniverse();
BranchGroup group = new BranchGroup();
Sphere sphere = new Sphere(0.5f);
TransformGroup maing = new TransformGroup();
maing.addChild(sphere);
   group.addChild(maing);
   Color3f light1Color = new Color3f(1.8f, 0.1f, 0.1f);
   BoundingSphere bounds = new BoundingSphere(new Point3d(0.0,0.0,0.0), 100.0);
   Vector3f light1Direction = new Vector3f(4.0f, -7.0f, -12.0f);
   DirectionalLight light1 = new DirectionalLight(light1Color, light1Direction);
   light1.setInfluencingBounds(bounds);
   group.addChild(light1);
   universe.getViewingPlatform().setNominalViewingTransform();
   universe.addBranchGraph(group);
public static void main(String[] args) { new prototype1(); }
}The first thing I cannot do is figure out how to resize the window that the sphere appears in.
The second thing I cannot do is to make the sphere clickable, so that when you click on it a simple System.out.println occurs. I have looked around and found a group.setPickable(true); sort of statement, can this be applied here? Or is a better method to have a button over the sphere and make it invisible? Or is there some way to detect the co-ordinates of the panel that have been clicked? If anyone has any ideas or can point me towards some good tutorials that would be fanatastic,
Thanks

How to make an object getting out of the screen ?

Hello everybody !
I am creating a game introduction with Flash pro CS6 and here's is my problem.
I want a object in my animation to leave the screen, but I dont know how to do it.
Is there for example, a way to delimited the working area, so that when I make an object go out of this area, it does not appear in my final animation ( no matter the format, .avi, .mov, spritesheets ... ) or can eventualy be "cut" ( if I make my object half inside the working arear and half outside ) ?
Is there an other way to do this ?
Thanks !

Using a mask might be one way.

How to make the objects got even distance in the Blend?

Wondering anyone has the same experience or not? I blend 2 circles together and adjust the spine from a straight line to wave curve line by adding points and adjusting the handles of the points. The space between the objects along the spine turn to uneven after that. I tried to use the "specified distance" in the option and add more points and modify the handles again. However, all in vain. Finally, I need to expand the blend and adjust the distance of those objects manually. Any suggestions to correct the stupid way? Thanks.

There is not really any way to get even spacing in a blend when the spine path has uneven curvature. (What the Specify Distance option does is take the length of the path, and divide it by the requested distance to determine the number of blend steps, but then once it has that number, they get spread out by exactly the same algorithm that is used when the number of steps is specified by a fixed number or calculated from the color difference.)
The length of the direction handles on a spine path affects the placement of objects, with longer direction handles pushing the blend steps away from the anchor point, and shorter direction handles pulling them in towards it. This tends to make the objects more tightly spaced when the path has sharp curves, and more loosely spaced where it is flatter.
If the direction handles are of equal length, and the distance between the two direction points is the same as their length, such as occurs on a circle, then the "pulls" balance out and the spacing ends up even. But when the curvature varies, so does the spacing.
This can be used to advantage to get non-linear gradations, by making a straight line and then pulling out direction handles that lie along the line. It can also be used to make objects on an elliptical orbit appear to be spaced in perspective, since they are closer together at the sharp ends of the ellipse and farther apart at the flat sides.
Often, however, what is desired is spacing that is independent of the curvature, such as you get with scatter brushes.
It was fully intended when live blends were implemented in AI 8 that even spacing would be an option, and would indeed be the default option, with logarithmic spacing and direction-handle controlled spacing being two other choices. The direction-handle controlled spacing was just implemented first not because it was most useful (it isn't) but because, believe it or not, it is
easiest. (Points on the interior of a bezier curve are natively addressed by t-value, which is a fraction of the direction handle distance. To obtain a position that is a fraction of the path length, one must first flatten the entire path into a polygonal approximation, then find the position by adding up the lengths of the flat segments. In contrast, one can obtain a point at a given fraction of the bezier t-value without flattening the path. This is the reason, by the way, that while scatter brushes have more even spacing between objects, they do not fit as tightly to the bezier as blend steps do - they are being placed on a straight line approximation of the path instead of directly on it.) The intention was to get the easy case of t-value based spacing working, and then add the harder case that requires flattening.
It turned out that we did not have time to add the extra options for AI 8, so it shipped as is. Then Macromedia sued us over live blends because Freehand had them first and as part of the settlement we had to promise to stop enhancing them. Now that the two companies have merged, that issue is moot, so enhancing blends is now a possibility for future versions of Illustrator. (All of you who complain about the cool features that Freehand has had for years and Illustrator hasn't, as if it were perverse and intransigent of Adobe not to follow suit, might want to keep in mind that copying the features of another company's software is often not allowed.)
In the meantime, scatter brushes can be a good alternative if all your blend steps are the same, but obviously they won't work if your blended shapes are changing along the path.

How to make text/objects move nonlinear speed on AE CC?

Hi,
I was wondering two questions:
1) how to make "text holders" that has small animation. Here is an example from a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oSWt84VoAg (0:41).
2) how to move objects with increasing speed and soft slow down. I know how to change speed, but how to make it so that it is only accelerating and slowing down? Same examle can be found from the clip above with the place holders and texts.
Thank you for your help. If there is same kind of discussion going on please let me know. I could not find it.

All of what you want to do comes down to the fine art of learning how to magle curves in the graph editor, which is nothing you can learn from just watching totorials. You learn it by doing and collecting experience.

How to make an object of inner class and use it ?

Hi tecs,
In my JSF application i have a need to make an inner member class in one of my bean class.
How can i make the object of this class?(what should be the entry in faces-config)
And there are text box and check box (in the JSP) associated with the elements of this inner class. What should be the coding in JSP so that elements in the JSP can be linked with the corresponding members of the inner class ?
Plz help.
Thnx in advance.

Hi
I am havin 10 text boxes in my application.
But out of 10 , 3 will be always together(existence of one is not possible without the other two.)
Now i want to create a vector of objects ( here object will consist of the value corresponding to these three boxes),there can be many elements in this vector.
So i m thinking to make an inner class which have three String variables corresponding to these text boxes that exists together.
What can b done ?

How to make this object static ?

Hi,

I'm not sure that this is guaranteed to work since the class loader you have obtained from the current thread may not be the one that holds the resource.

How to make non-editable ComboBox in flex.

Hi All,
   I defined ComboBox as below and I'd like to make this combobox to non-editable(readonly)
<mx:ArrayCollection id="bb_list">
        <mx:Object data="" label="-Please Select-"/>
        <mx:Object data="Y" label="Yes"/>
        <mx:Object data="N" label="No"/>
        <mx:Object data="D" label="I Don't Know"/>
    </mx:ArrayCollection>
<mx:ComboBox width="152" id="broad" dataProvider="{bb_list}" change="bb_service()" editable="false" > </mx:ComboBox>
Still it is displaying ComboBox where user can change value from this ComboBox, can anyone let me know how to make this ComboBox to non-editable.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sharath.

I really don't understand what you're trying to do.
In the ComboBox default state, you cannot type text into the non-drop-down portion. If you set it to editable, then you can type text in the non-drop-down portion.
But, in both of these situations, the user can still open the drop down and select a new value.
Do you want to display a drop down, but not give the users the ability to select a new option? If so, you might not be able to work something up by listening to the change event, although I would expect that to be non-conducive to good interface design.
If you don't want to show the drop down at all, use a Text component instead of a ComboBox.
You might also try disabling the ComboBox in order to prevent the user from interacting with it.
If you can elaborate on what behavior you're expecting and why it is unexpected, that might help us point you in the right direction.
