I have a simple doubt. I have made a custom ActionScript mxml component, which is a spark TitleWindow with a text area, which header (titlebar) should display a green background if it finds the word ‘success’ in its text, or red, if it doesn’t.

My problem is that I don’t know where to access and modify this property, and the only turnaround I’ve found is binding the ‘chromeColor’ of the TitleWindow to depend on a boolean that will change depending on whether I find or not the word ‘success’. And this does change the TitleBar background to the color I desire, however, it also changes the scrollbar color, for example, which is a bit nasty. The code for my class is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:TitleWindow xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
           xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="400" 
           title="Output: "
           chromeColor="{success ? ( 0x00ff6b as uint) : ( 0xFF0000 as uint)}"
           close="closeHandler(event)">
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import mx.events.CloseEvent;
        import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

        [Bindable]
        public var success:Boolean = false;

        public function setText(text:String):void
        {
            textContainer.text = text;
            if(text.indexOf("SUCCESS")!=-1)
            {
                success=true;
            }
        }

        protected function closeHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
        {
            PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
        }

    ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:TextArea id="textContainer" x="0" y="0"  width="100%" height="100%"
            paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10" 
            borderVisible="false" editable="false" fontFamily="Courier New"/>
</s:TitleWindow>

So, thanks for reading, and hope anyone knows the answer 🙂

Cheers,
pepillo

    I’d solve it with extending standard component and creating custom skin.

    My version of component:

    package
    {
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    
    import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
    
    import spark.components.TextArea;
    import spark.components.TitleWindow;
    
    [SkinState("disabledSuccessful")]
    [SkinState("disabledWithControlBarSuccessful")]
    [SkinState("inactiveSuccessful")]
    [SkinState("inactiveWithControlBarSuccessful")]
    [SkinState("normalSuccessful")]
    [SkinState("normalWithControlBarSuccessful")]
    public class SuccessfulTitleWindow extends TitleWindow
    {
        public function SuccessfulTitleWindow()
        {
            title = "Output: ";
        }
    
        [SkinPart(required = "false")]
        public var textContainer:TextArea;
    
        private var success:Boolean;
        private var textChanged:Boolean;
        private var textValue:String;
    
        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        override protected function commitProperties():void
        {
            super.commitProperties();
    
            if (textChanged && textContainer)
            {
                textContainer.text = textValue;
                textChanged = false;
            }
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        override protected function getCurrentSkinState():String
        {
            var skinState:String = super.getCurrentSkinState();
            return success ? skinState + "Successful" : skinState;
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        override protected function partAdded(partName:String, instance:Object):void
        {
            super.partAdded(partName, instance);
            if (instance == textContainer)
            {
                textChanged = true;
                invalidateProperties();
            }
        }
    
        public function setText(text:String):void
        {
            if (text == textValue)
                return;
            success = text && text.indexOf("SUCCESS") != -1;
            invalidateSkinState();
            textValue = text;
            textChanged = true;
            invalidateProperties();
        }
    
        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        override protected function closeButton_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
            super.closeButton_clickHandler(event);
    
            PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
        }
    }
    }
    

    The skin (based on standard skin):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

        minWidth="76" minHeight="76" alpha.disabledGroup="0.5" width="400">
        <fx:Metadata>[HostComponent("SuccessfulTitleWindow")]</fx:Metadata>
    
        <fx:Script fb:purpose="styling">
            /* Define the skin elements that should not be colorized. 
            For panel, border and title background are skinned, but the content area and title text are not. */
            static private const exclusions:Array = ["background", "titleDisplay", "contentGroup"];
    
            /**
             * @private

            override public function get colorizeExclusions():Array {return exclusions;}
    
            /**

             */
            override protected function initializationComplete():void
            {
                useChromeColor = true;
                super.initializationComplete();
            }
    
            /**

             */
            override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
            {

                    setPartCornerRadii(border, withControls);

    And the simple app to test:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600" xmlns:local="*">
        <s:VGroup verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0">
            <local:SuccessfulTitleWindow skinClass="SuccessfulTitleWindowSkin" id="window" />
            <s:TextInput change="window.setText(event.currentTarget.text)" />
        </s:VGroup>
    </s:Application>
