I haven't had to deal with this this myself yet but I see it peppered throughout the Flex Framework and it seems to refer to the problem you are having.

Have a look at the embeddedFontRegistry...

Not is flash. Mouse speed is controlled by the OS and flash does not have access to it. Depending on your use case, you might be able to compromise.

Not if you use a weak reference

randomObject.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reaction, false, 0, true);

This is a perfect candidate for composition. Instead of extending the viewstack, create a custom component that uses a view stack. This way you have access to all class members at the point of...

Viewstacks use deferred instantiation of child objects. Meaning, you have to select the view first, then your object is created, added to stage and all methods and properties become available. Once...

So the comboBox uses a Button to actuate the dropdown list which picks up that type selector in your css. Type selectors are the ultimate global style declaration. Having a 'Button' type selector...

Because you need layout logic in components added to an application. UIComponent is the base class allowed to be added to a Container. Add all sprites to the rawChildren property of the app, as in...

So, first of all. You have entirely too much time on your hands. Second, get a dev job, you are probably wasting talent. Third, release your code. This is the only way most dev's can truly...

set the text's leading to a negative number in your styleSheet or styleObject for a quick hack.

It may have to do with your height and width designations after the renderer is instantiated however, there is a more pressing issue with your code:
for (var i = 0; i < numChildren; ++i) {...

You are going to want to create a custom cellRenderer for your particular UX. To better understand what went wrong with your cellRenderer, you first have to know how the List component...

Hi - You are targeting the wrong parent for the removal of the Sparkle. Remember, a Container keeps skins, and it's psudo intrinsic children on the rawChildren object. You are accessing parent...

The Flex SDK is free to anyone. All you need is an editor to help with the coding. This is outside of Flash 8 and is a completely different set of frameworks but you do not need any 'Flash' version...

why not retain a reference to your "box" in a var on the main class, then check the var instead of looping through a displaylist? Each time the box is created, the variable is set to that object and...

event:Event=null is there in case you want to call the function without a event being passed. I use this whenever I don't care about the event.

Your problem is in referencing the stage object that does not exits yet. Your Main.as should have the ADDED_TO_STAGE event to ensure that you can reference the stage before trying to add listeners...

I don't mean to butt in on this thread but... using getChildByName to target what should probably be a Sprite anyway is a bad habit to develop. It lends to poor organizational coding practices and...

Complex vectors will always be processor intensive and unpredictable depending on the user's machine. Even non-blocking multi-threaded vector rendering operations will be arduously slow on a PIII...

Use UIScrollbar.scrollPosition = <int>

Just call UIScrollBar.update(); after you scroll your scrollTarget manually.

You should also clarify that naming and retrieving your instances using the name property is a newbish AS2 habit that should probably be used sparingly if at all in AS3.

Hi-

Sorry for the late response. Here is a working example - Just paste the following code in the first frame of the main timeline
var sprite0 : Sprite;
var sprite1 : Sprite;
var button :...

I have built a custom comboBox component that takes an XML object as the dataprovider (see attached). When it is in enhanced mode, the auto complete and auto filter methods are available to sort the...

Is there any difference between * and children() when accessing the children of an XML object? Any speed gains by using one versus the other?

I thought the System.gc() is for the flash player debugger only therefore it will not work for all other versions. Is this not correct?

Anyway, looking up gskinner, I found what may be a solution...
