Flex: Popup a Window with Javascript
Posted by David in Flex on May 20, 2008
I had the need to popup a browser window from my Flex application and wanted it to popup without toolbars, etc. I found some online examples that did it in different ways. Below is the solution I went with.
FlexPopup.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function goToURLPopup(url:String,winName:String,w:int,h:int,toolbar:int,location:int,directories:int,status:int,menubar:int,scrollbars:int,resizable:int):void
{
var fullURL:String = "javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);";
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fullURL);
navigateToURL(u,"_self");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="Flex Popup Example" paddingLeft="10" paddingTop="10">
<mx:Button label="Google" click="goToURLPopup('http://www.google.com/', 'popup', 640, 480, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1)"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
And here is my example:
Flex: Adding Your Own Context Menu Items
Posted by David in Flex on May 1, 2008
Well I've been working with Flex alot more so I will hopefully be posting more things on Flex. Something I have been working on lately is adding Context Menu items to my applications. You can add as many as you'd like but I would limit them to only the essential ones. I searched online and found various examples. Here is how I did it:
FlexContextMenu.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] public var cm:ContextMenu;
private function init():void
{
// Create custom context menu items
var cm1:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Copyright © 2008 DCFusion.com");
cm1.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,cm1_link);
cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
cm.customItems = [cm1];
application.contextMenu = cm;
}
private function cm1_link(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void
{
goToURL("http://www.dcfusion.com/blog/");
}
public function goToURL(urlStr:String):void
{
var webPageURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlStr);
navigateToURL(webPageURL, '_blank');
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="Flex Context Menu Example">
<mx:Label text="Welcome to my Flex app!"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
I added a link to my new context menu item using an event listener, but that is not necessary.
And the final product (right-click on the Flex app to see the context menu):

How To Share Your Flex Source Code
Posted by David in Flex on February 1, 2007
I'm working on a Flex application and I thought it would be good to share how I do certain things in the application. Here is a quick way to enable the 'Show Source' selection in the right-click menu:
- Select Project > Publish Application Source
- Select the application file that will include the View Source menu. By default, the main application file is selected.
- Uncheck the source files that you do not want to be published.
- (Optional) Change the source output folder. By default, a source view folder is added to the project's output folder.
- Click OK.
