ProgressBar inside a TextField

Hi all.
I would like a ProgressBar in the back of a TextField (like a browser address bar).
Any ideas how I would even go about doing this?
StackPane with the TextField on top but make it see through?
Thanks, Nick

Look at caspian.css to work out the CSS selector that sets the paint for the portion of the TextField's background you want to animate, then lookup the selector after the TextField has been shown on the stage and set it's paint to a linear gradient whose stops are bound to an animated progress property.
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master/rt/raw-file/tip/javafx-ui-controls/src/com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/caspian/caspian.css
Or you could use a StackPane overlaid with a semi-transparent or blended color or the other method you propose.

Control/unload swf inside html textfield i AS3

Hi,
In a CS3/As3 project I have xml files with html content loaded in a texfiled inside a mc. In some cases I have swf files embedded with img tag in the xml. The problem is that when a swf is loaded this way It keeps 'living', playing with sounds in the background when other xml files and swf are loaded in the texfiled.
Then, every time it is loaded, a new instance of the swf is created and played.
I have found out you can refer to the loader object with getImageReference method giving an id to img tag and, for example, adding an Event.COMPLETE listener to the loader.
But I don't know how to access to the loaded swf to unload it or at least stop it (mc_name.texfiled_name.swf_id doesn't seem to work in AS3)
Does anybody know if it is possible?
Thanks in advance

Thank you, the second method is good to control movieclip in my case (fp9).
But I have still the following problem: the loaded objects (swf or images) seem to remain in memory.
I have a loader like this (swf_Id is the id of img tag)
loader = myMC.MyHtmlTextField.getImageReference("swf_Id");
and, following your indication, a second Mc like this
myMC2=MovieClip(loader.content);
doing the following things seem to remove the objects from stage but with no effects on the memory wich always increases
myMC2.removeChildAt(0);
myMC2=null;
loader.unload();
Any idea about this?
Thanks a lot!

A query related to ProgressBar and its placing inside Container

Hi ,
I tried an example with Flex3 ProgressBar .I am posting the scenario in which it was correct in one case and wrong in another case .
Please tell me what is wrong here in the wrong case :
The Program is related to :
I have button on click of that i will be loading the Image . There is no Button and its event Listener Mentioned here .
Correct Approach :
This works fine as the Image and ProgressBar are in the same Container called HBox
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="image" autoload="false"/>
<mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB" source="{image}"/>
</mx:HBox>
Wrong Approach :
The below isn't working as i placed ProgressBar outside the container called as HBox
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="image" autoload="false"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB" source="{image}"/>
Please share your ideas as why this behaves this way .

Hi Kiran.
I don't think either of the approach is wrong , it no way effected by placing the ProgressBar inside a container or outside the container.
Run the sample application below. It will load for both approaches.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
 public function loadImage1():void {
 image1.load('assets/liazon_logo.png');
 public function loadImage2():void {
 image2.load('assets/liazon_logo.png');
 ]]>
 </mx:Script>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="image1" autoLoad="false"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB1" source="{image1}"/>
<mx:Button label="Load Image1" click="loadImage1()"/>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="image2" autoLoad="false"/>
<mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB2" source="{image2}"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Load Image2" click="loadImage2()"/>
</mx:Application>

Can one textfield have multiple text backgrounds?

Hello guys,
I have been trying to find a way to color the backgrounds of different words in a single textfield with different colors.
For an example, lets imagine the whole text is a story which has nouns and verbs...etc
Now I want to show the full text which is my story and highlight the background of nouns in blue, verbs in red.
Please see the attachment.
Then I have dedicated toggle buttons for each types. The use of those buttons is removing or showing those backgrounds. For an example and when user clicks on noun button it will remove or show the background of all the nouns. Same for the button for verbs.
Then you may ask why I can't achieve this by using separate textfield for each word in the story and line them like a paragraph.
The problem is user should be able to edit those text. So those are INPUT typed textfields. So all the words should move within the boundaries of paragraph when user keep changing one word. Please see the second attachment and you may see that I have changed the first word by typing "abcde", so as I type all other words should move like you type inside a textfield. So thats why I think if we can achieve it using single textfield rearranging words as user types is taken care of the textfiled so we don't need to place all the words manually.
When I was trying to think of a way to do it, I found that background is only a property of TextField, but not TextFormat.
If it was a property of textformat then I could have set different formats for different words in same textfield.
So that option is out.
Also I thought of using CSS with htmlText. But unfortunately text-background is not supported by actionscript stylesheet class.
I really appreciate if you can post your expert ideas to help me how to achieve this task.
Thanks
Nisha

Is there an expert to answer this question please?

TextField validation with multiple options

Hi.
I am trying to create a textField widget that can have a
number of possible correct answers. Can anyone let me know if this
is possible. I have successfully created a textField that validates
one answer with the use of Type Custom, but i am unsure how to have
multiple correct answers for one textField.
Thanks
Barry.

Hi Barry,
to validate more values inside the textfield widget, you have
to create your custom regular expression that fits with what values
you accept for that input field.
So your contructor should look similar with this:
var sprytextfield1 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "custom",
{regExpFilter:/test1|test2|test3/, useCharacterMasking:true});
This regexp is translated: the textfiled will accept only
test1, test2, test3 values.
You can also have this behavior if you create a custom
function having a set of switch values:
switch(){
case1: ...
case2:...
default:false
and you call this function as option in the widget
constructor.

I understand that the add row button is currently doing a submit.
To not submit the page you need a dynamic action on the page.
Does the javascript function addRow do what you want?
Otherwise have a look at the following two threads Add row in manual tabular form using dynamic action and Accessing Tabular Form & Add Elements to Collection without Page Submit.
You're process could be something like:
Add the new values to the collection using the idea's in the second thread and at the same time add the new row.
And as second action refresh your tabular form.
If you get stuck set up what you have done on apex.oracle.com using the tables from the demo application.

TextField TextFormat Bug

I found out that my cs3 flash app crashes when testing my
code output.
Its happens when I create a textfield and select an image
from a tilelist to be inserted inside the textfield.
I'm calling the image source and appending the value in
textfield.htmlText.
The textfield works greats but when I have like 3 images
inside the textfield and about to insert a fourth image the app
crashes?
Is this a bug or a limitation in textfield

Trying to reproduce it for you, I found where the problem
was. Here's the code to reproduce the behavior:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.x = tf.y = 0;
tf.width = tf.height = 300;
tf.border = true;
tf.multiline = true;
addChild(tf);
var tft:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tft.size = 12;
tft.font = "Verdana";
tft.color = 0x000000;
tf.defaultTextFormat = tft;
tf.htmlText += "aib> line1";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line2";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line3";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line4";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line5";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line6";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line7";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line8";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line9";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line10";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line11";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line12";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line13";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line14";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line15";
tf.htmlText += "aib> line16";
tf.scrollV = tf.maxScrollV;
var tt:Timer = new Timer(1000);
tt.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, hede);
tt.start();
function hede(te:TimerEvent) {
tf.defaultTextFormat = tft; /*********** HERE ***********/
tf.htmlText += "aib> new
line";
tf.replaceText(0, tf.getLineLength(0), "");
tf.scrollV = tf.maxScrollV;
Strangely enough, the first call to hede() behaves as it
should. Now, the second call and the ones after that misbehave in
different ways according to whether the line marked "HERE" is
commented out or not:
If defaultTextFormat is commented out, then the second and
third and fourth... lines added by hede() do not retain the Verdana
formatting, they fall back to Times New Roman or whatever the
default text is for the textfield...
If defaultTextFormat is not commented out, however, then
every single line on the TextField becomes bold, including those
lines that had no bold tag to begin with.
Weird, eh?

Placing a JButton inside a JTextfield aligned to right

hi,
i would like to add a JButton inside a JTextField. Actually the textfield shows the current path to which image is saved. So to get a file browser, user will click a small button present inside the textfield and selects the file and simultaneously the text of jtextfield is updated.
i tried of using jTextField1.add(jButton1); but it has no effect. Neither button was displayed nor any error message was displayed.
So plzz help me out. thanx

You shouldn't try to put the JButton in the JTextField. A JTextField isn't meant to hold other components.
Create a JPanel and add the JTextField and the JButton to it.

Add a button inside textfeild

We use Forms 6i. Can I make a bean that "extends vTextField" and add a button inside the textfield? So that when I add the bean in implemenation class of a textfield, I can have a small button inside and after I click it, I can do what I want.
Thx

Hi Francois,
Thx for your information. Because there are tons of forms (and each each forms may contain tons of tab page), we, if possible, would like to make minimum effort to do so. Do you think adding a button next to the text field is the best approach to achieve our goal? Is there any other opinions?
Thx again!

Java FX, TextField, Keyboard handling

I need to look for specific characters that may be typed in a text field and perform an action accordingly. For example if the user hits F1 key while inside a textfield, i need to popup a different panel. I am using FXML to do the form layout. Please help mw with some example code. If I can set these functions at a global level (Scene) it would be even better way, for example no matter which ever text field use is on, I need to handle F1 key the same way.
Thank you

What am I doing wrong?F1 key presses don't generate KeyTyped events, you need to handle KeyPressed events to receive the function key presses, so perhaps use onKeyPressed="#handleKeyInput" in your FXML instead.
I haven't used FXML, so perhaps there are other issues in the way you have defined the interaction between the FXML and the controller code, but I don't really know.
The code below will globally catch any F1 key presses for any TextFields in the scene, so maybe you could just install the keyfilter when you setup your scene rather than placing a reference to an onKeyPressed handler for each TextField in your FXML.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.input.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextFieldTrapper extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }
@Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
 // create some controls.
 final Label eventText = new Label("Press F1 in any text field to capture a KeyEvent");
 TextField text1 = new TextField("Some Text"); text1.setId("text1");
 TextField text2 = new TextField("More Text"); text2.setId("text2");
 // layout the scene.
 final VBox root = new VBox(5);
 root.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-padding: 10;");
 root.getChildren().addAll(text1, text2, eventText);
 primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 1000, 100));
 // monitor and respond to any F1 key presses sent to any text field in the scene.
 root.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
 @Override public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
 if (KeyCode.F1.equals(event.getCode()) && event.getTarget() instanceof TextField) {
 eventText.setText(event.toString());
 primaryStage.show();
}

Adding a progressbar to a JLayeredPane

Hi,
I am having problems with adding a progressbar to a JlayeredPane.
Below is the code I have.
I can see the JLayeredPane, but cannot see the ProgressBar inside it.
Do u know what the prblem might be ?
ovpg1 is the object for the progressbar and jlp is the object for the JLayeredPane.
Am I missing something ?
Thanks
Amit
JLayeredPane jlp=new JLayeredPane();
JProgressBar ovpg1 = new JProgressBar();
jlp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(2000,2050));
lp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("JLayeredPane"));
ovpg1.setStringPainted(true);
ovpg1.setAlignmentX(2.7f);
ovpg1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(
"The first progressbar's layer and position "));
ovpg1.setValue(90);
ovpg1.setBorderPainted(true);
ovpg1.setBackground(Color.green);
ovpg1.setForeground(Color.red);
jlp.add(ovpg1,new Integer(10)); // Default is the bottom layer.
toolbar.add(jlp);

You also need to realize that a JLayeredPane does not use a LayoutManager to layout your components... You have to manually set the Bounds your self...
try this...
Dimension pref = ovpg1.getPreferredSize();
ovpg1.setBounds(0, 0, pref.width, pref.height);Hope this helps,

Dynamic variable inside repeater

Hi,
I'd like to use a variable as ID in a ProgressBar inside a
repeater, to use this (by id) after by Script.
How is it possible?
Example:
quote:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var cont:int = 0;
var bar:String = "";
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Repeater>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
bar = "bar"+i.toString();
i++;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:ProgressBar direction="right" mode="manual"
barColor="green" width="100%" id="{bar}" />
</mx:Repeater>
But it's not working.
There is another way to do this?
Thanks

You can't specify an id with a variable.
Do you want to be able to reference the repeated progress
bars? If so, you can use syntax described on this page:

 REGARDS, Tudor

If you are using a "for" loop to do the loading, it can process thru the entire set of loops before the first image is loaded. If you want to have control over the loading you should load things sequencially.
So instead of using a for loop, build a pseudo loop using an array of the files to load, a counter variable, a loading function, and a loadComplete function. Have the loading function load just one image using the counter variable to identify which image in the array to load. Have the loadComplete function process the one image that was just kloaded, increment the counter, and call the loading function if the counter value does not equal the length of the array.

Problem in Upload File Component

Hello,
I have a problem in a specific situation regarding the file uploading.
If i type inside the textfield of the file upload component the text "sdfsfaadfaadfdsafds" (referencing no drive and file extension), my page freezes.
Everything i manually type that has no reference to a file extension an drive name, my page hangs...it freeze. Why?
How can i validate that the text entered is invalid?
If i manually type "C:\test.txt" it works, but if i type "test" it will freeze my page, and no component in that page will work.
Is there a solution, or is it a bug?
Best Regards
Miguel Ferreira

Hello again...i really need your feedback in this on this issue.

Problem working with Polish

Hi all,
I want to use Polish in my javaME code to add css appearance to my fields , so I installed Polish and I added //#style style_name before calls of constructor TextField.
The problem is that when I try to enter a value inside a TextField when I run the application then a big textarea is shown in the screen , although I did not code to show anything else to make a big textarea to show. To skip the big textarea I must click a "Ok" command and I finally return to my form into which the value I entered in the big textarea is shown into my TextField !
I use a polish.css file in the resources directory to define the style.
So how to make the big textarea not shown so I enter values only into my TextFields ?
Thank you very much indeed
