Question

I have to use a menu in my actionscript project (FLARManager + Away3D) and I want to use a combobox. I try but I fail.

My simple code is

import spark.components.ComboBox;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

public class MyComboBox extends ComboBox
{
    public function MyComboBox()
    {
        super();

        var dp_ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ 
            {label: "test 1"}, 
            {label: "test 2"}, 
            {label: "test 2"}
        ]);
        this.dataProvider = dp_ac;
        this.labelField = "label";

        this.x=200;
        this.y=-200;
        this.width=20;
        this.height=10;
    }
}

Then, in my project file I code:

import aplicacion.MyComboBox;

import artedra.*;

import com.transmote.flar.FLARManager;
import com.transmote.flar.marker.FLARMarker;
import com.transmote.flar.marker.FLARMarkerEvent;
import com.transmote.flar.tracker.FLARToolkitManager;

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

import spark.components.ComboBox;
import spark.components.Group;

[SWF(width="800", height="600", frameRate="30", backgroundColor="#C0C0C0")]

        artedraManager.showModel();
        artedraManager.showViews();
        artedraManager.showGridDots(ARTeDraManager.GRID);

        var g:Group = new Group();
        var cb:MyComboBox = new MyComboBox();
        g.addElement(cb);

        stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,reportKeyDown);
        stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
    }

    private function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
        if(event.keyCode==32) {
            if(next==ARTeDraManager.DOTS)
                next=ARTeDraManager.EMPTY;
            else
                next++;
            artedraManager.showGridDots(next);
        }
    } 

    private function onMarkerAdded (evt:FLARMarkerEvent) :void {
        trace("["+evt.marker.patternId+"] added");
        activeMarker = evt.marker;
        targetDetected = true;
    }

    private function onMarkerUpdated (evt:FLARMarkerEvent) :void {
        activeMarker = evt.marker;
        targetDetected = true;
    }

    private function onMarkerRemoved(evt:FLARMarkerEvent):void
    {
        trace("["+evt.marker.patternId+"] removed");
        activeMarker = null;
        targetDetected = false;
    }

    private function onEnterFrame(evt:Event):void {
        if(activeMarker) {
            artedraManager.rotateShapes(activeMarker.rotationZ);
        }
        artedraManager.showSphereMarkerDetected(targetDetected);
        artedraManager.renderScenes();
    }
}

But it doesn’t show anything. I think I’m missing something but I don’t know what.

Can anyone help me, please?

Answer 1

Based on the code, I’m guessing you aren’t sizing the ComboBox by setting the height and width properties or giving it a position by setting the x and y properties.

Both of these things are most commonly done in the updateDisplayList method. In the Spark architecture updateDisplayList() is usually implemented in the skin class.
