Set initially selected item

Is there a way to tell the manager to initially select one of its targetObjects?

I need one the items inside the FlexTransformManager to be preselected when the application starts. Is this possible?

 

Thx

Sure, just use the selectedTargetObjects property. It accepts an array, and it would look like this as an attribute of the FlexTransformManager MXML tag:

 

selectedTargetObjects="{[image1]}"

Thanks for the quick reply, that solution seems to be working fine for Flex 3, but I'm using Flex 4 and it doesn't work.

 

Here's my code:

		   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
		   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
		   xmlns:transform="com.greensock.transform.*"
		   minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

								arrowKeysMove="true" 
								width="500" 
								height="500" 
								allowDelete="true" 
								selectedTargetObjects="{[image1]}" >
			  id="image1" 
			  autoLoad="true" 
			  x="70" 
			  y="100" 
			  rotation="-15" />

 

Is there any other way I can achieve the same effect in Flex 4?

Yep, Flex 4 apparently changes the way in which child objects are instantiated but I just posted an update to FlexTransformManager that should work around it. The other way it so just use a creationComplete listener for your app that sets your manager's selectedTargetObjects. To get the update, just log into your GreenSock account at https://www.greensock.com/account/

Thank you very much, I've downloaded the updated version and it works correctly on Flex 4.

 

Cheers
