Touch devices - list-based control scroll and drag distinction

Hi,
I am wondering how Flex is able to distinct between a touch scroll of a list-based control and a touch drag event of an item in the list on a touch enabled device.
Unfortunately I am not able to test this issue here right now, since I have no touch device running AIR 2 or Flash 10.1.
In my application, I have a number of DataGrids. On touch devices, I want the user to be able to scroll the list without using the thin scroll bars, but also want to enable him/her to drag list items.
Anybody out there with an idea?
Thank you
LLD

Welcome to the discussions, JCEIV!
Just a few pointers that may help:
AirPort Utility 5.5.2 is the latest version of that application. Is the AirPort Extreme running 7.5.2 firmware?
Did you connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports to make the configuration changes on the AirPort Extreme? +I just don't trust wireless for any type of important configuration changes or settings+, but you may disagree.
After you update the AirPort Extreme, you can disconnect the ethernet cable and move back to wireless.
If the AirPort Extreme does not restart correctly when you update it, you may need to perform a Factory Default Reset to clear out any old and possibly corrupt settings. It's a hassle to have to reconfigure everything and reenter all the data, but I know of no other shortcuts.

Control + Click and Drag

Hi there,
Scenario
I need to use Google Chrome on my early 2011, 13' Macbook Pro (running Mavericks 10.9.2) for an online job. They have their own interface which is only supported by Chrome and not Safari or any other browsers.
Problem
On some specific tasks that I do, I need to draw a box on the interface while Pressing the Control key, but when I press Control and Press mouse button to draw the box, it brings up the MENU. This doesn't seem to be working with Command key either, since unlike windows, CTRL is COMMAND in mac.
I need to figure out how do Control + Click and Drag in the interface.

I don't see anything via that link that I can relate to this posting.
If you want to make the change in frames happen solely based on the direction (x) that the mouse is being moved, then you need to test the current position of the mouse against the last known position...
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    if (mouseX-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   startPosition = mouseX;
I am not sure what you find as being too fast. When you are doing things relative to an extended event, such as a mouse being moved for some time, then it is highly likely that the event will execute the event handler function repeatedly... as fast as the frame rate of the file allows. So if you want more control of the rate at which mouse moves effect nextFrame/prevFrame function calls, then you need to build in some form of delay. In the example below, it takes the form of removing the mouse move event listener for a short period using a timing function (setTimeout in this example, though you could use the Timer class as well)
var startPosition:Number = mouseX;
var delayTime = 250; // 0.25 sec
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
function onMouse(e:MouseEvent): void {
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);
    var currentPosition:Number = mouseX;
    if (currentPosition-startPosition >= 0) {
        wwr_mc.nextFrame();
    } else {
        wwr_mc.prevFrame();
   setTimeout(setListener, delayTime);
function setListener(){
   startPosition = mouseX;
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouse);

My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

Scrolling and Dragging

Hi, I'm a little frustrated with the tablet and am using my laptop to type this. My playbook cursor keeps jumping from subject to content and back as I'm trying to type in the content window.
My original problem is the webpage dragging as I'm trying to scroll thru a menu list on that page. For example, if I open the music webpage "Pandora" and try to scroll thru my stations list, I end up dragging the whole web page up or down. How can I scroll without the web page moving around? .....and what am I doing wrong with the issue stated at the top? Thanks in advance for anybody that can help.

1. This forum is incompatible with Playbook. It has been reported.
2. Some web pages are incompatible with Tablets - All tablets including the eyepads. Drop down and drag menus often will not work.
Enjoy.

I have a device that shows up in my airplay device list on my iMac, and my phone. This device does not exist. How do I get it out of the list? I would like to drop it before I add new airplay devices to my network.

I have a device that shows up in my airplay device list in iTunes, and on my iPhone that does not exist. How do I delete it? I have OS X 10.10.1 on my iMac, and iOS 8.1.2 on my iPhone 5. I would like to get it out before I add new airplay devices to my network.

I called Apple tech support. The device turns out to be a WiFi extender. I never would have guessed that the extender would show up on the list since I wouldn't think of it as an airplay device, and in the list, it shows a little speaker icon. In the process of talking with Apple, I gained a greater understanding of how airplay works.
It turns out that there is no stored list of devices in a file on the mac, or anywhere else. I have seen a lot of traffic on the web from people trying to modify this list, but there isn't one. iTunes, and other devices simply poll the network for airplay devices from time to time.
Have a very happy holiday!
I would like to get rid of "just give me the aster, and stop wasting my time", and replace it with my name. The Apple tech support guy never saw that before. Just my luck.

Select list based on LOV - and allowing new values

Hi All,
I have a page that has a select list based on a dynamic list of values. I wanted to test out how the system was working, so I truncated all of my tables, and now my select list is blank (which makes sense). The problem is that I can't type anything into the select list. How can I make it so that if there isn't a value returned from the query that populates the LOV, I can just type one in? This also goes further in that if the value I wanted isn't already in the db, how does the user add in another value?
Thanks in advance,
Corey

Hello,
Well as you now know HTML based select lists don't work like that, that widget is called a combo box and there will be built in combo boxes in APEX 3.0, it's a fairly complex dhtml widget.
What you might want to do is provide a text item next to your select box and an Add New Value Option in your select list.

Change drag 'n' drop format in a datagrid (or other list based control)

I want to use the built in drag'n'drop support in the data grid, but it uses the format of "items". Is there any way to change the format that a list control uses for the drag source?

I think you need to tweak the default drag and drop behavior manually.

Can you scroll and drag items in stacks?

Hi,
I know that in Snow Leopard it is possible to scroll in stacks but does anyone know if there is a tweak/modification available that can enable owners of Leopard to also scroll in stacks?
And also is there any way to drag from stacks when in List view. It is possible in Grid view, but Grid view does not automatically show one what is inside a folder if one highlights it, whereas in List view, simply hovering over a folder name will cause a list of its contents to appear (but you cannot drag from this list AFAIK).
Thanks!
Shams.

I was wondering the same thing but i dought i have looked a lot there isnt unless you pirated snow leopard

Elements 6 scrolling and drag and drop issues.

In organizer, my mouse will not scroll proberly either by clicking on the up and down arrows or by clicking and pulling the tab. I also connot drag and drop from the tag section to pictures. Can anybody provide a solution.

I don't think so that the click operations work in the organizer.By the way which mouse are you using?

Wireless Vs. Ethernet and iTunes "Devices" list

iTunes 9.0.2 and TV 3.0 software. Snow Leopard OS.
TV can "see" the Internet, download files, view YouTube, etc.
iTunes can "see" the Internet and works as expected. But the "Devices" list doesn't appear when I use the wireless connection.
When connected via ethernet the Devices list shows the TV and I am able to move files back and forth. The iTunes preferences shows the TV and I can change the "synching" options.
As soon as I switch to wireless the iTunes preferences show the TV and "Synching" but nothing is being transferred (no network activity).
Wireless via Belkin router using WEP 128. Ethernet using the same Belkin router.

I'm very methodical with my diagnostics and don't do "willy-nilly" steps to try and fix issues.
My "Source" files are stored on a connected HD (Firewire) and iTunes knows how to find them.
I've "rebuilt" my iTunes Library by following the steps at the Apple Support pages (move the .xml file out, deleted older (obsolete) folders and "import" the .xml file again).
TV has been connected via wireless for over two years without issue. Since I've only been downloading "rented" files I rarely open iTunes and just recently (with the 3.0 and 9.0.2 updates) noticed the TV didn't appear in the iTunes "Devices" list (under the Library).
I purchased a new file via TV and it downloaded and was viewed without issue on the TV. It was then I decided to test the new features with iTunes and noticed the file was never "moved" to my Library.
iTunes preferences suggest my TV was "synching" but I observed no network activity on the Belkin router.
This is where I started all of the "fixes" I could think of:
Use the Menu-minus buttons on the remote to "Test" the TV. No issues were reported.
Used the "Reset Settings" (Settings menu). No change. Then the "Factory Restore" (which deleted everything but my most recent purchase).
It was then I decided to test the ethernet connection and everything worked as expected. I was able to move my recent purchase to my iTunes Library and then move all of my other Library files (Music, Photos and purchases) back to the TV.
Switched back to my wireless network and both devices work as intended. But the TV doesn't show in the iTunes Library (Devices). iTunes preferences show the name of the TV and "Synching".
I'm stuck at this point.

Non-String classes in List-type Controls

Got a Java "idiom" question for you experienced Swing developers: List-based controls take any class as items and call its toString method to populate the display. However, most classes that I run into don't override toString in any way that would work in a user display. I find that I'm constantly having to create a new class for each list-based control just to override the toString method, which is repetitive, tedious and seems like a high clutter-to-payoff ratio. My question is, is this the preferred approach? Are there better idioms? TIA.
-Steve

Thanks. That works pretty well, except getListCellRendererComponent doesn't give you an easy way to retrieve the index of the item you are rendering (the index parameter returns -1 for the display area of the combobox). Your item class has to have some method that returns the label, even if it is not toString(). Otherwise you have to spin through the ListModel manually testing for equality to the value parameter to find the index. Kludge.

EA6350 Device List Doesn't Work Correctly

Device list doesn't show all devices on the network. Some are shown OFFLINE when in fact they are ONLINE.
Other devices that are connected don't even show up at all.
For instance, I have 15 devices on the network, some wired and some wireless, but only 10 devices show in the device
list. The other devices have connectivity but never show in the device list.
Called support and was told to update firmware and reset the router. Tried all of that but to no avail.
The device list is still incorrect.
When will Linksys engineers fix the firmware?

Make sure that your devices are set to obtain an automatic IP address. Check some of the devices which appeared on the list. It could be that some devices have multiple addresses listed below them, and if such is the case of your network, I suggest you inform Linksys Support about it.

No apple TV in device list

My computer crashed so I downloaded Itunes 9.1 onto another computer. The apple tv appeared on the device list for a minute and then disappeared. My library is grey on the ATV. I have tried disconnecting all hardware and reinstalling Itunes. I have movies on the ATV which were never synced with itunes as I could never get items purchased on ATV to sync onto my itunes. Is there any way of resetting the ATV without losing these movies? I am computer stupid so please do not be too techi with your answers.

I have also been having the same problem since I got my iMac in May. It drives me crazy. With the MacBook Pro the AppleTV was always there on the device list. Since I got the iMac it will show up, it will sync just fine, then one day it doesn't show up and I have to fool around with it again. I have all the new updates and nothing has changed. Now I got AppleTV to show up (again) by putting in the code but it will only stream - not sync. Any ideas?

"Loading Device List" Freeze

When I connect up my Casio EX-S600 camera to my computer, Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 automatically launches the photo downloader. However, the screen shows the words "Loading Device List" but does nothing and freezes. I have to go into System Manager to kill it.
My wife has the same camera and it does the same with hers.
I have re-installed APASE V3.2 and this has not cured it. I have looked through the questions and answers on the forum and have seen folks having a similar problem but no definitive answer to it. I have seen it suggested that it is something to do with "Preferences" but when I try to go into this part of the software, it also freezes.
I have also gone into the Customer Support part of the web-site and followed the steps suggested there, again with no result.
I have upgraded the software on the camera to the latest version, again with no result.
I believe the problem arose at the same time as I upgraded to APASE V3.2
Any suggestions?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply.
I use Norton System Works and Norton Internet Security. Firstly, I disabled every Norton component that I could. The APASE software still freezes. Secondly, just to be sure, I uninstalled Norton completely but still the APASE software freezes. I have now reinstalled Norton and all the required upgrades (which took a few days!) and still the APASE "loading device list" freezes.
"My Computer" shows the camera and I can transfer photos to "My Photos" from the camera and then use APASE to "get photos from file" but this is an unsatisfactory "get round" really.
Incidentally, I have just bought a Summit Photofix copier with Photoimpression 6.0 to copy negatives onto my hard drive. When I open the software and try to transfer an image, "Windows XP encounters a problem" and closes the software. I haven't solved this one yet but it may be related. I have also tried to re-load this software, including when Norton was uninstalled, but it hasn't helped the problem.
Regards - Derek.
