How to set an icon of a Button in ActionScript ?

A need to create at runtime some buttons and set their icons.
I found a problem to do that in ActionScript. In MXML is easy
to set the icon just use a syntax like this: <mx:Button
label="some text" icon="images/ok.png"/>
But in ActionScript how I can set the icon ?
I need to create the icon by a path passed as a parameter.
Example:
The user want to create a button with a label and an icon so
call a method like this (that return and instance of Button):
createButton("Update","images/update.png");
Thank at all for the help.

it doesn't do anything, stays at the same placeIt's all about context here and there are still many unknowns here that can effect your result and that you have not told us or shown us. My suggestion to you is to consider posting an SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example, a condensed program similar to your current program in that it demonstrates the problem at hand, but is the smallest bit of code that still compiles and has no extra code that's not relevant to your problem. For more info on SSCCEs please look here:

Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, you can will need to paste already formatted code into the forum, highlight this code, and then press the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor prior to posting the message. You may want to click on the Preview tab to make sure that your code is formatted correctly. Another way is to place the tag &#91;code] at the top of your block of code and the tag &#91;/code] at the bottom, like so:
&#91;code]
  // your code block goes here.
  // note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.
&#91;/code]or
{&#99;ode}
  // your code block goes here.
  // note here that the tags are the same.
{&#99;ode}good luck, pete

  • How to set custom size of Close Button e.g. 32x32  of Title Window in Flex 4

    How to set custom size of Close Button e.g. 32x32 of Title Window in Flex 4?

    Hi
    Here is the code of the Button in the skin class of spark title window.
    <s:Button id="closeButton" skinClass="spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowCloseButtonSkin"
                              width="15" height="15" right="7" top="7" />
    So first change the default height and width from 15 to 32. Then in the Button Skin class i.e. spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowCloseButtonSkin change paths to modify the cross symbol.
    Hope this helps

    How to set different Icons for Jtreenode,i want to set icons for jtreenode,not only for leaf,open,closeicon,i hope that each node has a different icon.Thanks!

  • How to set the icon for the entire application with JFrame.setIconImage

    I set the icon on the main frame using JFrame.setIconImage(). The icon is shown properly in the main frame.
    If more JFrames are opened from the main frame, the newly opened JFrames also show the icon.
    However if JDialogs are opended, in some cases the icon set on the main frame is shown and in other cases the coffee cup.
    What is JFrame.setIconImage() expected to do? Setting the icon for a single JFrame or the entire application?
    How can I set the icon for the entire application?
    How can I set the icon for JDialogs?
    Thank you

    In order for your dialogs to use the same icon as the frame, you must parent the dialogs to the frame which has the custom icon.

  • How to change an icon of a button

    hi guys,
    i want to change the icon of a button when it is click
    how can i do it?
    thanks

    You register a listener for that button, e.g.:
    button.addActionListener(new...)
    Then add code to the listener class:
    button.setIcon(new...)
    If you've not come across listeners yet though, you'll need to explore these a bit first.

  • CheckBox - how to set custom icons

    I need to figure out how to set a custom icon for a selected checkbox via the UIManager
    This works for un-selected checkboxes:
    UIManager.put("CheckBox.icon", new ImageIcon("../images/unselectedCheckBoxIcon.png")));
    how to change the icon when it is selected?
    I don't know the UIManager property for a selected checkbox icon and using the setSelectedIcon on the checkbox object it self does not seem to work:
    checkbox.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("../images/selectedCheckBoxIcon.png"));
    Thanks for any ideas how to solve this!!

    Hi mKorbel, many thanks for your suggestion!
    For anyone interestsed,
    here is a small example of how I made it working.
    Unfortunately I cannot attatch the icon images that I use, but the selected icon can be downloaded from here, resize it to 32*32, remove the cross in the middle to save it as the unselected icon.

  • How to set the icon preview of a movie

    I have my movies folder set to show big icon preview of each of my movie, it looks great but I cant set which frame of the movie is used for the preview. The result is that I have a lot of my movie that have a black or not relevent icon preview. Is there any way of setting the icon preview manually or am I stuck with those preview?
    Thanks for any help you can provide me!

    HI,
    Open Preview/Preferences and select the General tab.
    You can make a selection there but unfortunately I don't think Preview supports a connected monitor.
    But don't give up hope. Go here and post in the Apple Technologies forum. Perhaps a Terminal guru can offer a command to use to do this for you.
