I'm working on a project for a User Interface Design class, so the emphasis is on the UI being as nice to use and non-annoying as possible. I would like to display a message to the user after they've clicked save, for example, without requiring them to click an OK button. I'm thinking of the kind of thing you see in gmail if you send a message or do some other actions, where a message appears on the screen, but the message disappears after you do something else.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in Flex (I'm using 4.6), but I just don't know what it is. I'm pretty new to Flex and I'm having trouble finding anything via Google, because the results keep showing confirmations messages in Alerts; I don't know the search terms to get the results I'm looking for.
Anyway if anyone has ideas or links or anything, I'd really appreciate the help.
Here's a nice Toast library for flex (flex-toasterlib).
And here's a different Toast class in the adobe forums (adobe forums).

tl;dr:
I'm trying to figure out how to use the DOMFormHasPassword and DOMInputPasswordAdded events in chrome extensions.
I'm trying to develop a password manager extension in chrome for my
school project. To make it, I would need a way to identify a login form and fill it automatically. So far I had relative success, but I encountered a problem: I would scan the page for a login form on page load, so if any form were to be added through javascript my extension would miss it.
I have googled the matter and found the terms DOMFormHasPassword and DOMInputPasswordAdded in some locations online, such as this one that states that the DOMFormHasPassword event was added to chrome, and some sort of an example of its use that I couldn't understand.
I've tried adding the events with document.addEventListener, without any success.
I also encountered the term SpecialPowers that I don't understand, and I think understanding it might solve my problem.
I Would be very grateful if you could even direct me to a documentation of those events, because I can't seem to to find it. Thank you for your time!
I need to open several email popups (~30) from Adobe AIR Flex app, I am currently using navigateToURL but I observed that at times some email popups go missing. I have tried callLater as well. WHen I introduce delay between popups it works better but still has a risk of some popup missing. Can anyone advise please? These emails dont have any attachments but have html contents.
I am guessing that you don't want all 25-30 messages to appear at once. If you could try to schedule a better way like the one below, I think that will really help you fix the problem:-
Add references to all the 25-30 objects in an array
Now on click of a button, show the 1st email body. Have a button in the popup which reads something like 'Send and Read next email'. On click event, fire the email to be sent and pop the next object from your array to show contents of the next email.
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
I need to be able to have a popup, preferably like a lightbox that displays an html message when a user clicks a link. The popup will populate the screen and the user will have to click "OK" after reading the message. How can this be done using lightbox? I'd rather avoid using a boring prompt as its much less attractive.

You might be able to do it in lightbox, but as far as I can tell it's not quite what lightbox was intended for. You may want to consider a more generic "modal" type of solution. A common one is jQuery UI's Dialog. Another common one is Bootstrap's modal solution.
This is more of a best practices question rater than something technical.
I'm working on a mobile app using the Flex 4.5 SDK and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle notification windows. In most cases these windows will be alerting the user to when something goes wrong. Ex: bad login, no data, cannot resolve server.
I'm using a singleton design pattern, I have a Requests class that handles server calls. Most popups will be originating from this class (IOErrorEvents from my loader being used to access the API). Since this class is a singleton and is used from all Views inside the app it is not aware of applications current view. I'm also not sure having this class keep track of the current view and having it push popups on top of it would be best practice.
I'm hoping that I can use PopUpManager to keep track of where to add popups and what popups are currently on the stage. Though all examples I've seen online about this show static Components being used in a views Declarations tag.
I'm really just looking for any examples or input on how you would solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I had the same problem, and sorted it by making an Alert popup component that you can call from anywhere in the code base, and it will pop up in the currently active window. It also has an always visible scrollbar text area which is handy

It works for a view navigator application, but if your using a tabbed navigator application, you can add a call for that, or simply change the code to
mainTabbedNavigator = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.tabbedNavigator;
currentTab = mainTabbedNavigator.selectedNavigator as ViewNavigator;
