What happens if you swap the two mxml files so that the sub dialog is shown first?

Report · Apr 21, 2017

Dear Friend,

I try with swapping mxml as you said then the Controls of Second Dialog(only a Button) is Shown in First Dialog.

I cant judge what is the problem here.

I am having 2 mxmls :

1)FreeGridUI.mxml is Same as Illustrator Sample FreeGridUI.mxml.This is the First Dialog.I added a button to show the Sub Dialog.

2)ShowUI.mxml Is the Sub Dialog's mxml.see the ShowUI.mxml in the below image.

Then the manifest.xml is Shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ExtensionBundleId="FreeGrid" ExtensionBundleVersion="3.0.0.20110105_m_16" Version="2.0">

</ExtensionList>

</HostList>

</LocaleList>

</RequiredRuntimeList>

</ExecutionEnvironment>

<SwfPath>./FreeGridUI.swf</SwfPath>

</Resources>

</Lifecycle>

<UI>

<Type>Panel</Type>

public function ShowFunc() : void

{

var ShowClickEvent : CSXSEvent = new CSXSEvent("com.adobe.csxs.events.ShowClicked", CSXSEventScope.APPLICATION);

var xml : XML = new XML();

var xmlContent : String = getContent();

xml = XML(xmlContent);

ShowClickEvent.data = xml;

CSXSInterface.getInstance().dispatchEvent(ShowClickEvent);

}

And in FreeGrid Plugin Project The Code To Show Sub Dialog is Give Below.

#define EVENT_TYPE_SHOW_CLICKED "com.adobe.csxs.events.ShowClicked"

#define SUB_UI "ShowUI"

csxs::event::EventErrorCode FreeGridDialogController::RegisterCSXSEventListeners()

{

csxs::event::EventErrorCode result = csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success;

do {

result = fPPLib.AddEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_OK_CLICKED, OkClickedFunc, this);

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success)

{

break;

}

result = fPPLib.AddEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_PANEL_READY, PanelReadyFunc, this);

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success) {

break;

}

result = fPPLib.AddEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_SHOW_CLICKED, ShowFunc, this);

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success) {

break;

}

while(false);

return result;

}

csxs::event::EventErrorCode FreeGridDialogController::RemoveEventListeners()

{

csxs::event::EventErrorCode result = csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success;

do {

result = fPPLib.RemoveEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_OK_CLICKED, OkClickedFunc, this);

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success)

{

break;

}

result = fPPLib.RemoveEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_PANEL_READY, PanelReadyFunc, this);

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success)

if (result != csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success)

{

break;

}

while(false);

return result;

}

static void ShowFunc(const csxs::event::Event* const eventParam, void* const context)

{

sAIUser->MessageAlert(ai::UnicodeString("Button Clicked"));//For My Ref to check button click

Hi,

you can try to open 2nd dialog using something like this

public function ShowSubDialog():void

{

var subW:Window = new Window();

subW.title = "SubDialog";

subW.type = CSXSWindowType.MODAL_DIALOG;

subW.open();

subW.maxWidth = 250;

subW.minWidth = 230;

subW.width = 230;

subW.maxHeight = 250;

subW.minHeight = 230;

subW.height = 230;

//--

subW.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

subW.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

var button:Button = new Button();

button.x = 10;

button.y = 10;

button.label = "...";

//...

subW.stage.addChild(button);

}

public static function ShowSubDialog():void { var subW:Window = new Window(); subW.name = "SubDialog"; subW.title = "SubDialog"; subW.type = CSXSWindowType.MODAL_DIALOG; subW.open(); subW.maxWidth = 250; subW.minWidth = 230; subW.width = 230; subW.maxHeight = 250; subW.minHeight = 230; subW.height = 230; //-- subW.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; subW.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; var button:Button = new Button(); button.x = 10; button.y = 10; button.label = "..."; /*...*/ subW.stage.addChild(button); }

Dear Friend,

The Problem is still not solved.

I tried the same way and found a problem,The second dialog is Shown but the init() Function is not Called.The Controls are not shown.

I cant find the exact problem why the init() function of second dialog is not called.

please give your suggestion to solve this problem.

Thank you Friend,

Nathan.

Why have you got [Bindable] before your init1 function? This might be why your init function is not being called, but it shouldn't stop the controls being shown.

It is possible to launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog, so there is a problem with your code somewhere.

Dear Friend,

Thank You For Immediate Reply and Confirmation(it is possible to launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog).

I am new to FlashUI Development.There is no sample in Illustrator SDK to launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog.

I Developed two Flash Dialogs For Later versions of Illustrator CC 2015.3 and C 2017 with your guidance.

Now I am trying to create two Flash dialogs(launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog) For Adobe Illustrator CS 6 version by using Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and Cretive suite extension Builder 2 which one was get from you.

I can't find why the controls in the seond dialogs are not shown.

I already provide the code i used to launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog.

please give your Suggestion to Solve this problem.

If it is possible can you give me a sample to launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog.

Thank You Friend,

Nathan

What happens when you remove the [Bindable] line from your ShowUI.mxml?

I checked you could launch a flash dialog from another flash dialog by modifying one of our production plugins. I can't give you the code for this and I don't have time to create a sample. If you give me your code, I could have a quick look at it.

Dear Friend,

Thank You For Your Suggestion.

If I Remove the [Bindable] line from your ShowUI.mxml then Init() Function is called.

I try to Create new Project and Remove the [Bindable] line from your ShowUI.mxml then the problem is solved now.

The Controls in the Second Dialog is Shown now.

Then I try to add [Bindable] line in to ShowUI.mxml.But the problem is not Reproduced again.

I can't find what is the actual mistake in my code.Anyway the problem is solved now.

Thank you Friend,

Nathan.
