Overlapping elements in JList

Hi,
I want to develop a design tool which allows the editing and visualization of elements which are ordered linear. Each element has a start and end address so it is possible that elements overlap. This is an error case an should be visualized. First I thought to use JList to display the elements. But I think its quite difficult to realize the overlapping elements (JList entries). Is it possible with JList or it's better to draw gui representation myself ?
Thanks
Oli

Thanks for your post....I have already my own list cell renderer by implementing ListCellRenderer interface. In the getListCellRendererComponent I return a JLabel for each list item with different height (to visualize sizes). I can't see the possibility in this method to realize the overlapping. I get only the index no positions.

Printing without spreads with overlapping elements.

My document is ready to print but my printer requires that I do not use spreads. I believe this is easy enough, I just turn off facing pages and send away. However, I have some elements that I want to overlap from one page to another. When I turn off facing pages I don't see an option to do this. How could I format this so my printers will still accept it?

Your printer may have asked you to not export the InDesign file as a PDF with spreads. That would make a single page out of each two-page spread, and because you likely designed the job in Reader's spreads (consecutively-numbered pages), it will be more work for the printer to impose the pages into Printer's spreads (where, for example, you might place the last page to the left of the first page in one spread, and the second-to-last page to the right of the second page in another spread). If you export without checking the Spreads checkbox, the PDF will use one page for every page in the InDesign file.
Talk to the printer and explain that you have some images that span a spread, and they will advise you on how to proceed.

Weird spacing and overlapping elements.

I'm running OS X 10.5.6 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo 24" iMac.
A huge number of web sites I view in Safari (3.2.1) and Firefox (3.0.1) have really strange spacing and elements of the site seem to overlap. Like the site is coded badly and not tested for mac.
I can't really remember if this problem started with a software update or if it has been there the whole time but It doesn't happen on my Intel MiniMac in work.
An example is this www.thrashermagazine.com . It works fine in work but is all crazy at home.
Anyone else having problems like this?

Layout cannot handle overlapping elements?

I have a custom component which elements visually overlap. I want to dynamically change the z-axis of these elements. In Flash Player, this usually means changing DisplayObjectContainer.setChildIndex() of the elements. Is it correct that the current concept of layouts (based on LayoutBase) does not easily allow to change the z-axis of elements? Currently, the z-axis seems (very) hard-wired to the position of the element in the group.
The quickest hack I've found is applying group.setElementIndex() though this is very expensive.
Thanks for a confirmation or any better hack,
Marc

I think you are confusing displaylist order with displayobject screen coordinates if you want overlapping objects that can have there priority changed (bring 1 object to the front) you can't touch the display depth(z-axis) of any of these objects, overlapping of visual objects is done exactly the same way as it was done before we were given a 3d co-ordinate system in FP10 on the assumption that you don't touch the z-axis.
If you want to use 3d co-ordinate systems you also have to adjust your programming techniques to suit, for example if an object is being zooming in on once it has a z-axis less than the object in front change the displaylist index order to match.

Ignore overlapping elements

Is there a way I could create a button (on any shape) that has a hover state that is not overridden by the button's face text (text) that overlaps it?
Case scenario:
- I have a symbol with two shapes (button body) and (button text)
- On hovering over "button body", the desired animation plays...
- BUT, if the mouse reached the "button text" region, the animation is cancelled as the shape underneath "button body" loses focus.
- Essentially, the element "button text" must be visible but must be entirely inactive to mouse/touch events.
I have tried a few hacks for this but since the scene has many state changes, I would like to know if there's a real solution...

Change color of an element of JList

I would like to put some elements in different color in my JList, I know how to change all the elements but not how to change just one or several.
Thanks in advance.

You need to implement your cell renderer to do that.

Overlapping elements and events

Hello all
I can't reproduce such scenario in Edge Animate: the large box has mouseover trigger, on mouseover the button appears - after click, the page opens. On box mouseout, the button disappears.
Have a look: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/145862/adobe_forum/Untitled-3.html
The problem is that when the mouse leaves grey area, mouseout event fires. If I put the layer with button below the large transparent box, button stays visible, but click event doesn't work.

Text overlapping box lines? - then adopt your according paragraph formats. attributes that can help you on this are: line spacing, space before, and space after.

Overlapping elements mouseover DrawState

Hi guys!
Soo I'm really desperate and some hints or solution would be really appreciated!
I'm building custom framework for more than a year now that have some classes handling UI elements, since I want to draw elements exactly as I want. I've managed to make some goodies as drawing dashed lines, stack multiple images to build a skin with single element, but I have problems with the event handling.
I came to conclusion that you can override Group element behavior and design it quite nice, but at the moment you add custom .onDraw function, the group stops to receive MouseEvent-s, except in the Bubbling phase from a child element.
Best scenario:
Group 2 has images, borders and so on (custom onDraw) + receives mouse events (mouseover, mouseout, click) - simulates button element, but can have child elements. In this case Group 3 and 4 are children of Group 2 and Group 2 is child of Group 1:
Group 1
Group 2Group 3
Group 4
Closest so far:
Group 3 and Group 4 are children of Group 2. Group 2 and Button 1 are children of Group 1.
Group 1Button 1
Group 2Group 3
Group 4
The problem:
Button 1 does not receive "mouseover" when the mouse is over the Group 2 area. And because Group 2 is not child of Button 1, Button 1 can't have .addEventListener( 'mouseover', handlerFunction, false ) for the bubbling phase.
My workaround and the new problem:
I've decided to simulate "mouseover" event and update the onDraw method of Button 1 using the notify method of the element, but the onDraw method's DrawState always has mouseOver = false no matter what!
Simple code:
buttonOne.onDraw = function( /*DrawState*/ $drawState ){
    $.writeln( $drawState.mouseOver ) // always false except if the mouse is really over the button
function buttonOneMouseover( /*MouseEvent*/ $e ){
    $e.target.notify( 'onDraw' );
function simulateButtonOver( /*MouseEvent*/ $e ){
    var fakeMouseEvent = ScriptUI.events.createEvent('MouseEvent');
    fakeMouseEvent.initMouseEvent( "mouseover", true, true, $e.target.parent.buttonOne, 1, $e.target.window.location[0]+5, $e.target.window.location[1]+5, 1, 1, undefined, undefined, undefined, -1 );
    $e.target.parent.buttonOne.dispatchEvent( fakeMouseEvent );
groupTwo.addEventListener( 'mouseover', simulateButtonOver, false );
buttonOne.addEventListener( 'mouseover', buttonOneMouseover, false );
Any help is REALLY appreciated!
Cheers,
Tony

OK I've managed to hack another solution. I've added customDrawState and removeDrawState methods to my element's controller. They take as argument basic object that must override the original DrawState object that the element receives onDraw( /*DrawState*/ $drawState ). In my case the .mouseOver property of the DrawState object. Also dispatching custom event is useless if you override the draw state so calling the element's notify('onDraw') works like a charm. Beware that Custom elements do not have .relatedTarget for the MouseEvent object if you use addEventListener('mouseover') for instance. You have to use Button class instead in your UI.

How to handle (drag and drop) and Action Event in a JList?

I am having many JList,
On click of an element in JList I am loading a image in JSP.
But If I try to drag and drop one image from one bucket to another bucket Iam not getting any problem,
But I when I drag all the images from the target List to some other List and make the target List empty.
Now If I try to move the image from source list to the target list Iam getting this error,

Please help me how to solve this problem..

Er, sure. In the class pdfViewer.NewFileSegregater on line
1944 (!), in the valueChanged() method, something is pointing to
null.
That method is being called from
pdfViewer.NewFileSegregater.actionPerformed() on line
2918 (!!).
Of course, none of us know what's going on in those code
segements but you. And for the record, that's not how to spell

Adding/merging non intersectng elements.

I've got a question that I have for a few months.
I know this was possible in CS3 but since CS4 I think it has been deleted.
I'm Struggling with the follwing:
- Let's say I have 5 elements that are NOT overlapping. I know that it was in possible in CS3 to "add" these together so that you'd have 1 element that was completely editable. You could for instance put an object on top of the elements > use the pathfinder to delete a part, and all previous 5 elements would be edited (because now it was 1 element).
- If I try this by doing this the same way as I used to in CS5, this doesn't work anymore. No matter how hard I try to join the non overlapping elements it doesn't work in CS5. If I do the exact same thing as described above I'll be left with the same 5 elements and the deletion will only happen in 1 element.
Super frustrating...
Was this something that was altered in CS4?
And if so, how do I do it now?
Thanks in advance!

I believe you are desiring to have a live pathfinder effect. This chnaged to be the opposite of CS3 in CS4. In CS4 hold down option before making a clicking on pathfinder button.
If you hover the cursor over a pathifnder button, a yellow post it help note will explain this.

Several clickable elements created dynamically within different layers

Hi,
I am working on a small game where the user has to click on balloons. Therefore I have two different container divs where I create the balloons in with sym.createChildSymbol(). I need more than 1 container because the layout contains elements who overlap the balloons and whom I use with a parallax effect.
The problem is now that I need to click on all balloons, but the balloons in the back layer are covered by the invisible area of the balloon container in the front. The other overlapping elements I deactivate by sym.$("element").css({"pointer-events" : "none"}); But this I can not do with the front balloon container as then I only can click on the balloons in the back layer.
This is my first Edge Animate game, I'm switching over from Flash. There you don't have the invisible areas of a container/holder movieclip. Does anyone know how to archive similar behaviour? The container divs are simple rectangles with transparent background.
Any help appreciated! Thank you.

It couldn't be so hard to do it. In HTMLDB (which is written in HTMLDB) it's for example used by reports definitions. Maybe a nice standard feature for 2.1?

JList won't update.

This may be simple to some of you guys but Java is making me maddd. I know its my stupidity but it still makes me mad.
I'm writing a simple application, it has a list (JLIst) of entries, that I load from a database. The entries just have names of places. I wanted to be able to add new places to the list via a JTextField and a add button. Really simple stuff right?!?!
Ok this is where my frustration comes in. When I update the String [] which holds the names of the places i call a function createNamesList() which returns a new JList with the updated string array. I tried to remove the old list from the content pane and added the new one, that doesn't work. All I see is the same list.
I tried setting the originalList pointer to newList object, and not removing anything from the content pane, that didn't work either.
I don't see any methods to add elements to JLIst after its already been created, is ther e anything I need to do, or not do? I'm lost. This was supposed to be an easy project. Now I'm stuck.

Hello,
You certainly don't need to create a new JList upon simple modifications. What you need to do is to work on the ListModel. The easiest is to use a DefaultListModel. If you add a value to this model, updates to the corresponding JList are automatic. You should start by reading about this in the following tutorial :
