I'm looking to create a component like an Alert but with a bunch of components inside the pane. How can I create the blur effect below a pane?
Have a look at the AS docs here, there's a good example that will do what you want. Any DisplayObject can have filters applied to it
Alternatively, you can use something like TweenMax's dropShadowFilter to do it quickly and easily

This seems dissimilar to the accordion functionality provided by bootstrap.
To give an example, let's take the "how to format" info starting me in the face right now. I'd want it so that it only displays up to X pixels deep, and then stops until expanded. So it might look like:
and then, once expanded,
I happen to be using bootstrap. Is there a bootstrap native or other HTML solution to create this kind of experience?
Assume that the thing that I only want to show of is a single element, such as an image, rather than a series of text. This means a solution like min-height:50px and overflow:hidden won't work, as it will simply hide the entire image rather than part of it.
We can use jQuery .height() to accomplish knowing the rendered height of an element then making conditional modifications.
Documentation and examples for jQuery .height().
A combination of height and overflow in combination with the toggling of a class should work here.

The click of the arrow is bound to the following function:
function expandCollapse() {
$("#container").toggleClass("expanded");
$(".glyphicon").toggleClass("glyphicon-arrow-down"); // Flip Arrow

Hi i want to select multipe areas in containment using jQuery UI draggable while usinf drag and drop. I have used containment:["#area1","#area2","#area3"], also made single class with name area and applied to all divs but still not working, even tried containment: '#area1, #area2, #area3' but still not working. Its taking only the first container only. Please suggest
you can use the ui containment options like following:
containment:'selector1, selector2,selector3...'
I have a JTable that I would like to display a fancy tooltip (basically a JTextArea) for particular cells in a column. I am using a custom cell renderer, so it would be easy if I could figure out how to popup a window when I hover over the cell renderer's component.
Are there any examples of how to do this?
You can use HTML in tooltips, if you use the <html> and </html> tags around the content.
Use HTML to format the tooltip. Using colored (<font>) and multi-line (<br>) tooltips is now easy.
Creating and overwriting the default JToolTip is a bit harder. Every component has a JToolTip instance and you can retrieve this one with JComponent.createToolTip(). To create a custom tooltip, extend the cell renderer and override it's createToolTip to implement your custom functionality (return a custom extended version of JToolTip).
I'm not sure I totally am clear on what sort of customizations specifically you're hoping to do, so I'll be general here.
There is a class, UIManager, that controls the look and feel of components, including the swing ToolTip class. The simple way to make an easy change is to call a method in UIManager to set properties for the tooltips. Doing this you could do things like use BorderFactory to add a decorative border, or change the background color, etc.
Here are some examples of changing some of these properties:
UIManager.put("ToolTip.background", new ColorUIResource(255, 247, 200)); // The color is #fff7c8.
Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(new Color(76,79,83)); // The color is #4c4f53.
UIManager.put("ToolTip.border", border);
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setDismissDelay(15000);// 15 seconds
If you want to change a whole bunch of things about their look and feel, it is better to extend your current look and feel with a class implementing custom tooltip look and feel. A full example of this can be found in this blog post by a former Sun developer.
You might also have a look at this Stack Overflow question on how to set the insets on a tooltip.
I'd like to conditionally hide a tab in a TabNavigator. It seems that setting visible doesn't work properly (presumably because this is how the TabNavigator hides the tabs that aren't currently selected).
What's the right way to do this?
You can do this by making use of TabNavigator's getTabAt() method which returns the Button that makes up the visual tab. You can then set that Button's visible property. It's a little tricky to get this setup with a bindings, but it's doable.
You could also consider just disabling the tab instead, which you can do by setting enabled on the corresponding TabNavigator child (for which visible didn't work).
What do you mean by hide? If you actually mean remove, then just take your array that's bound to the data in the TabNavigator, and remove the applicable element from it.
If you want to just have them removed temporarily, create a component of your own that encapsulates the TabNavigator and has an array of removed tabs and an array of actual tabs. Then handle this as you see fit.
You might want to check out the flexlib project. They have a component called SuperTabNavigator that adds a lot of functionality to the base Flex TabNavigator, including hiding tabs (I think).
If you do have to create your own component, though, it's a bit more tricky. The thing to know is that "tabs" are actually specially styled buttons, contained within a TabBar component (the TabBar is then contained within the TabNavigator). What you'll have to do then, is subclass TabNavigator and have some property on your views (i.e. the canvases, etc. that are added to the TabNavigator) that is bound to the visible and includeInLayout properties of the TabBar buttons.
In essence, what you'll have is something like:
BindingUtils.bindProperty( tabButton, "visible", view, "someProperty" );
BindingUtils.bindProperty( tabButton, "includeInLayout", view, "someProperty" );
I don't know about TabNavigator, but in other containers, you can set the includeInLayout property to false and it will be ignored. You probably still need to combine it with visible.
var secondTab = tabNavigator.removeChildAt(0);
I'm trying to create a gray "frame" (see pic below) around a google map, to try to convey the concept of an area of focus, as oppose to a point (which is usually represented with a marker). Note that this is not an overlay, that is, the gray "frame" should not move when you drag the map.

It appears that only option is to "subclass" GControl to create a custom control. I have 3 questions
1) First of all, is GControl subclassing the best course of action?
2) In my example, the canvas (div) where map renders can change its size (i.e is not fixed width). Do I have to delete and add custom control when canvas changes size? See docs http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/controls.html#Custom_Controls on how to create a custom map control.
3) Now, how to do it. Naively, I thought I could create a table with 3 columns and 3 rows, and set display: none for the cell in the middle. But that doesn't work. I've also experimented with clipping, that didn't work either. My css skills are quite lacking, so there must be way to do this more elegantly than adding four rectangular gray divs. If I wanted to add an inner border, with divs, I would need to paint 8 then. In a nutshell, what's the best way to create a "hollow" rectangle?
Thanks
P.S. This is my first entry to StackOverflow. Just discovered it. It's impressive how well SO is put together.
