getting mouse click screenX and screenY in as3 - actionscript

I want to get mouse click screen coordinates (by clicking outside AIR application window)
I tried the following, but i don't get anything, it seem like the ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK event not dispatched.
public function Main():void
{
if (NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon)//testExpression return true
{
SystemTrayIcon(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon).
addEventListener(ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK, click);
}
}
private function click(e:ScreenMouseEvent):void
{
trace(e.screenX);//nothing displayed :(
}

The ScreenMouseEvent is dispatched by the SystemTrayIcon only (Windows/Linux only). And the SystemTrayIcon instance (DockIcon for MacOs) is retrieved from NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.
So this is where you should attach your event listener, after specifying the tray icon graphic:
var sti:SystemTrayIcon = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon as SystemTrayIcon;
// Specifying an icon is obligatory on Windows - MacOs has a default icon
sti.bitmaps = [new IconAsset()]; // IconAsset = Embedded picture
sti.addEventListener(ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick);
Note that the resultant screenX and screenY properties of ScreenMouseEvent are confined within the icon area in the tray and not the whole desktop screen (Not surprisingly, since this is where you added the event in the first place).

Vaadin 8 using an image as a button. Doesn't fire click event

I'm building a Vaadin 8 app ( first one for me ). I am using the designer to generate the UI. I've added several buttons to the dashboard which should fire a function when clicked. For some reason nothing fires when the image is clicked. Below is all the code that is involved. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
This is the code from the .html file:
<vaadin-horizontal-layout responsive width-full margin>
**<vaadin-image icon="theme://images/properties.png" style-name="my-image-button" responsive alt="" _id="imagePropertyInfo"></vaadin-image>**
<vaadin-image icon="theme://images/occupants.png" responsive alt="" _id="imageOccupants"></vaadin-image>
<vaadin-image icon="theme://images/vendors.png" responsive alt="" _id="imageVendors"></vaadin-image>
</vaadin-horizontal-layout>
Here is the scss
.my-image-button
{
cursor: pointer;
}
Here is the code from the Dashboard UI
public DashboardHomeView( OnCallUI onCallUI )
{
this.onCallUI = onCallUI;
// Make it disabled until a property is selected
**imagePropertyInfo.setEnabled( false );
imagePropertyInfo.setStyleName( "my-image-button" );**
fetchPropertyBasicInfo();
}
protected void fetchPropertyBasicInfo()
{
List<PropertyProfileBasic> listOfPropertyProfiles = new ArrayList<PropertyProfileBasic>( OnCallUI.myStarService.fetchAllPropertyProfileBasicInformation() );
comboBoxGeneric.setCaption( "Select a Property" );
comboBoxGeneric.setItemCaptionGenerator( aProperty -> aProperty.toString() );
comboBoxGeneric.setItems( listOfPropertyProfiles );
comboBoxGeneric.addValueChangeListener( event -> fetchOccupantBasicInfo( event ) );
comboBoxGeneric.focus();
}
protected void fetchOccupantBasicInfo( ValueChangeEvent<PropertyProfileBasic> event )
{
// Fetch all the occupants for the selected property
if( event.getValue().getPropertyNo() != null )
{
// Fetch a list of occupant basic info for the selected property
List<OccupantProfileBasic> listOfOccupantProfiles = new ArrayList<OccupantProfileBasic>( OnCallUI.myStarService.fetchOccupantProfileBasicByPropertyNo( event.getValue().getPropertyNo() ) );
// Clear the existing grid et al
gridContainer.removeAllComponents();
// Add the occupant grid
occupantGrid = new OccupantProfileBasicGrid( listOfOccupantProfiles );
// Show the grid
gridContainer.addComponents( new Label( "Occupants" ), occupantGrid );
// Set the dashboard buttons to enabled now a property is selected
**imagePropertyInfo.setEnabled( true );
// Add the property info button
imagePropertyInfo.addClickListener( e -> fetchPropertyInformation() );**
}
}
protected void fetchPropertyInformation()
{
Notification.show( "Yo!", "You clicked!", Notification.Type.HUMANIZED_MESSAGE );
}
I assume you are using GridLayout. I am recommending another approach. Use Button, and set the button style to be borderless (apparently you want something like that. The icon of the button can be image from your theme, using ThemeResource. "Pseudo code" is something like this:
ThemeResource icon = new ThemeResource("/images/properties.png");
Button imagePropertyInfo = new Button(icon);
imagePropertyInfo.setStyleName(ValoTheme.BUTTON_BORDERLESS);
imagePropertyInfo.addClickListener( e -> fetchPropertyInformation() );
Note also, JavaDoc of Image component says.
"public Registration addClickListener(MouseEvents.ClickListener listener)
Add a click listener to the component. The listener is called whenever the user clicks inside the component. Depending on the content the event may be blocked and in that case no event is fired."
I think it does not like your way of setting image with theme, without using Resource.
If you want to remove the focus highlight of the button, it should be possible via this CSS rule:
.v-button-link:after {
content: none;
}
Also it is worth of mentioning that Image is not Focusable, while Button is. This means that even that Image can have click listener, it is not reached by keyboard navigation, Button is Focusable and is reached by tabbing etc. So using Button instead of Image makes your application more accessible.

addEventListener on youtube API with greasemonkey

I would like to use Greasemonkey to access some API objects of youtube videos while I'm in fullscreen mode.
It could be useful to have mouse clicks and position relative to screen.
This, to detect fullscreen mode, doesn't work:
window.fullScreen
I tried also to add mouse event detection to yt player, with this:
var player = document.getElementById('movie_player');
player.addEventListener("click", interceptClicks,true);
but it doesn't fire that func.
I tried also to inject some code like this:
function GM_main () {
var playerNode = document.getElementById ("movie_player");
playerNode.addEventListener ('click', interceptClicks ,false);
}
addJS_Node (null, null, GM_main);
function addJS_Node (text, s_URL, funcToRun, runOnLoad) {
var D = document;
var scriptNode = D.createElement ('script');
if (runOnLoad) {
scriptNode.addEventListener ("load", runOnLoad, false);
}
scriptNode.type = "text/javascript";
if (text) scriptNode.textContent = text;
if (s_URL) scriptNode.src = s_URL;
if (funcToRun) scriptNode.textContent = '(' + funcToRun.toString() + ')()';
var targ = D.getElementsByTagName ('head')[0] || D.body || D.documentElement;
targ.appendChild (scriptNode);
}
I tried also to make a:
window.addEventListener('click', interceptClicks, false);
This works, BUT only in all areas different from the youtube flash player in non-fullscreen mode and in fullscreen mode, obviously none area, as there is only the player visible...
EDIT:
I made a partial progress indeed.
I created a button element with
btn.addEventListener("click", function () { player.mozRequestFullScreen();}, false)
This way flash video enters in Firefox fullscreen mode and so it receives the wheel events fired by the
window.addEventlistener('DOMMouseScroll', .....etc)
Besides, the fullscreen mode is detected by
window.fullScreen
Also, all keys (event) are detectable, but ESC; not again the mouse clicks..
There is a drawback:
Once in fullscreen, SOMETIMES if you click the left mouse button it suddenly exits fullscreen mode... SOMETIMES instead it stays normally full...
To exit it's not sufficient to press ESC, you need to press the normal flash fullscreen button on the lower right + ESC.
Some rare times it blocks itself in Fullscreen mode and you can't exit. You should press ctrl+alt+canc and then it appears firefox "block script" dialog box.
Why that odd behaviour and how to prevent it?
Ideally the best should be: intercept mouse click on the lower right flash fullscreen button, block it, redirect the call to mozFullscreen and block the fullscreen mode until you press ESC.
But I dont' think it's possible, is it?

Preventing flexcroll on event

What I have currently is a very simple div that has a flexcroll scroll bar. This simple div contains some draggable itmes inside of it. My goal is to be able to drag one of the items and and move it about without the flexcroll scroll bar moving.
As it stands right now if I were to drag one of the items below the viewable area the simple div will scroll down. I would like to prevent this.
I'm using jQuery UI for the draggable items. I've already tried using the option "scroll:false" but this does not work for flexcroll.
I'm sorry I don't have any example code, I'm currently away from my work computer.
flexcroll: http://www.hesido.com/web.php?page=customscrollbar
I don't know if you have already resolved this problem. This morning, I have the same problem and I found your post. After that, I have googled a lot to find a solution without any lucky. So finally, I decided to do someting myself, I hope my idea will help you.
After read the Programming Guid, I found that in this version (2.0) of flexcroll, we could register a function for onfleXcroll whose description could be found by searching the keyword "Pseudo-event: onfleXcroll". This is to say that the method will be executed after a scroll is done. So here, what I restore the "top" style with the value before you drag an element.
Here are the code
var $assetswrapper; // This variable indicates the contentwrapper of you div.
var $assetsscrollbar; // This variable indicates the vscroller of you div.
window.onfleXcrollRun = function () { // This method will be executed as soon as the div has been rendered with the help of flexcroll
// You could find these two divs by using firebug, because the top value of these two divs will be changed when we scroll the div which use the class .flexcroll.
$assetswrapper = $('#contentwrapper');
$assetsscrollbar = $('#vscrollerbar');
}
var wrapperTopPosition = 0; // This is used to stock the top value of the wrapperContent before dragging.
var scrollbarTopPosition = 0; // This is used to stock the top value of the scrollbar before dragging.
var dragged; // This is a boolean variable which is used for indicating whether the draggable element has been dragged.
var dropped = false; // This is a boolean variable which used to say whether the draggable element has been dropped.
$('.draggable').draggable({ // you could change .draggable with any element.
start: function (event, ui) {
// Your code here.
wrapperTopPosition = $assetswrapper.position().top;
scrollbarTopPosition = $assetsscrollbar.position().top
dragged = true;
},
stop: function (event, ui) {
// Your code here.
dragged = false;
dropped = true;
}
});
$('your drag div')[0].onfleXcroll = function () { // This method will be called each time when a scroll has been done.
if (dragged) {
$assetswrapper.css('top', wrapperTopPosition);
$assetsscrollbar.css('top', scrollbarTopPosition);
} else {
// Code here is used for keeping the top position as before even though you have dragged an element out of this div for a long time.
// You could test the scrollbar without this piece of code, if you drag an element out of the div for a long time, the scrollbar will keep its position,
// but after you dropped this element and try to scroll the div, then the scrollbar will reach the end of the div. To solve this problem,
// I have introduced the method setScrollPos with the old top position plus 72. 72 here is to set the scroll increment for this scroll, I know
// this value is not fit for any size of windows, but I don't know how to get the scroll-increment automatically.
if (dropped) {
dropped = false;
$('your drag div')[0].fleXcroll.setScrollPos(false, Math.abs(wrapperTopPosition) + 72);
$('your drag div')[0].fleXcroll.setScrollPos(false, Math.abs(wrapperTopPosition) + 72);
}
}
};
I hope this could give you a help if you haven't found any solution yet.

fixed position div freezes on page (iPad)

I have an asp.net web site I am building to be supported on ipad. When I focus on an input element and the keyboard pops up, the position fixed header div(which normally scrolls along with the page) will pop up the page a distance equivalent to the amount the keyboard takes up and freeze there for the duration of the input process. Once the keyboard is dropped back down, the div snaps back into place and behaves normally again. I am testing on iOS5 so position: fixed should be supported.
Is this a known issue? Has someone come across this and dealt with it before? I can't seem to find anything on this.
Fixed positioning is broken on iOS5/iOS6/iOS7.
Edit 3: See link to a working fix near end of this answer for iOS8.
Position:fixed is broken when either:
a) the page is zoomed
or
b) the keyboard shows on the iPad/iPhone (due to an input getting focus).
You can view the bugs yourself in jsbin.com/icibaz/3 by opening the link and zooming, or giving the input focus. You can edit the edit the html yourself.
Notes about bugs (a) and (b):
A fixed div with top: 0px; left: 0px; will show in the wrong position (above or below the top of the screen) when an input gets focus and the keyboard shows.
The problem seems to have something to do with the auto-centering of the input on the screen (changing window.pageYOffset).
It appears to be a calculation fault, and not a redraw fault: if you force the top: to change (e.g. switching between 0px and 1px) on the onScroll event, you can see the fixed div move by a pixel, but it remains in the wrong place.
One solution I used previously is to hide the fixed div when an input gets focus - see the other Answer I wrote.
The fixed div seems to becomes stuck at the same absolute position on the page it was at at the time when the keyboard opened.
So perhaps change the div to absolute positioning when an input has focus? Edit 3: see comment at bottom using this solution. Or perhaps save the pageXOffset/pageYOffset values before the keyboard is opened, and in an onScroll event calculate the difference between those values and the current pageXOffset/pageYOffset values (current once the keyboard is opened), and offset the fixed div by that difference.
There appears to be a different problem with fixed positioning if the page is zoomed - try it here (Also good information here about Android support for fixed in comments).
Edit 1: To reproduce use jsbin (not jsfiddle) and use the fullscreen view of jsbin (not the edit page). Avoid jsfiddle (and edit view of jsbin) because they put the code inside an iframe which causes interference with fixed positioning and pageYOffset.
Edit 2: iOS 6 and iOS 7 Mobile Safari position:fixed; still has the same issues - presumably they are by design!.
Edit 3: A working solution for (b) is when the input get focus, change the header to absolute positioning and then set the header top on the page scroll event for example. This solution:
Uses fixed positioning when input not focused (using window.onscroll has terrible jitter).
Don't allow pinch-zoom (avoid bug (a) above).
Uses absolute positioning and window.pageYOffset once an input gets focus (so header is correctly positioned).
If scrolled while input has focus, set style.top to equal pageYOffset (header will jitter somewhat due to onscroll event delay even on iOS8).
If using UIWebView within an App on iOS8, or using <=iOS7, if scrolling when input has focus, header will be super jittery because onscroll is not fired till scroll finishes.
Go back to fixed position header once input loses focus (Example uses input.onblur, but probably tider to use
document.body.onfocus).
Beware usability fail that if header too large, the input can be occluded/covered.
I couldn't get to work for a footer due to bugs in iOS page/viewport height when the keyboard is showing.
Edit example using http://jsbin.com/xujofoze/4/edit and view using http://output.jsbin.com/xujofoze/4/quiet
For my needs, I found it easier to use an absolute positioned header, hide it before scroll and show it when finish scroll (I need the same code to support iOS4 and Android).
For my purposes, I hide the header on a touchstart event, and show it again on touchend or scroll event (plus some timers to improve responsiveness/reduce flickering). It flashes, but is the best compromise I could find. One can detect the start of scrolling using the touchmove event (jQuery does this), but I found touchmove didn't work as well for me because:
regularly the iPad fails to do a repaint before scrolling (i.e. the absolute header remains stuck - even though the top was changed before scrolling started).
when an input element gets focus, the iPad auto-centres the element, but the scrollstart event doesn't get fired (because no touchmove if just clicking an input).
Implementing a fixed header on iOS5 could be improved by using a hybrid approach of fixed and absolute positioning:
used fixed positioning for iOS5 until an input gets focus.
when an input gets focus (keyboard showing), change to the iOS4 absolute positioning code.
when the keyboard is closed, change back to fixed positioning.
Code to detect when keyboard is closed (e.g. using keyboard hide key) is to register the DOMFocusOut event on the document element and do something like the following code. The timeout is needed because the DOMFocusOut event can fire between when one element gets the focus and another loses it.
function document_DOMFocusOut() {
clearTimeout(touchBlurTimer);
touchBlurTimer = setTimeout(function() {
if (document.activeElement == document.body) {
handleKeyboardHide();
}
}.bind(this), 400);
}
My fixed header code is something like:
{
setup: function() {
observe(window, 'scroll', this, 'onWinScroll');
observe(document, 'touchstart', this, 'onTouchStart');
observe(document, 'touchend', this, 'onTouchEnd');
if (isMobile) {
observe(document, 'DOMFocusOut', this, 'docBlurTouch');
} else if (isIE) {
// see http://ajaxian.com/archives/fixing-loss-of-focus-on-ie for code to go into this.docBlurIe()
observe(document, 'focusout', this, 'docBlurIe');
} else {
observe(isFirefox ? document : window, 'blur', this, 'docBlur');
}
},
onWinScroll: function() {
clearTimeout(this.scrollTimer);
this.scrolling = false;
this.rehomeAll();
},
rehomeAll: function() {
if ((isIOS5 && this.scrolling) || isIOS4 || isAndroid) {
this.useAbsolutePositioning();
} else {
this.useFixedPositioning();
}
},
// Important side effect that this event registered on document on iOs. Without it event.touches.length is incorrect for any elements in the document using the touchstart event!!!
onTouchStart: function(event) {
clearTimeout(this.scrollTimer);
if (!this.scrolling && event.touches.length == 1) {
this.scrolling = true;
this.touchStartTime = inputOrOtherKeyboardShowingElement(event.target) ? 0 : (new Date).getTime();
// Needs to be in touchStart so happens before iPad automatic scrolling to input, also not reliable using touchMove (although jQuery touch uses touchMove to unreliably detect scrolling).
this.rehomeAll();
}
},
onTouchEnd: function(event) {
clearTimeout(this.scrollTimer);
if (this.scrolling && !event.touches.length) {
var touchedDuration = (new Date).getTime() - this.touchStartTime;
// Need delay so iPad can scroll to the input before we reshow the header.
var showQuick = this.touchStartTime && touchedDuration < 400;
this.scrollTimer = setTimeout(function() {
if (this.scrolling) {
this.scrolling = false;
this.rehomeAll();
}
}.bind(this), showQuick ? 0 : 400);
}
},
// ... more code
}
jQuery mobile supports scrollstart and scrollstop events:
var supportTouch = $.support.touch,
scrollEvent = "touchmove scroll",
touchStartEvent = supportTouch ? "touchstart" : "mousedown",
touchStopEvent = supportTouch ? "touchend" : "mouseup",
touchMoveEvent = supportTouch ? "touchmove" : "mousemove";
function triggerCustomEvent( obj, eventType, event ) {
var originalType = event.type;
event.type = eventType;
$.event.handle.call( obj, event );
event.type = originalType;
}
// also handles scrollstop
$.event.special.scrollstart = {
enabled: true,
setup: function() {
var thisObject = this,
$this = $( thisObject ),
scrolling,
timer;
function trigger( event, state ) {
scrolling = state;
triggerCustomEvent( thisObject, scrolling ? "scrollstart" : "scrollstop", event );
}
// iPhone triggers scroll after a small delay; use touchmove instead
$this.bind( scrollEvent, function( event ) {
if ( !$.event.special.scrollstart.enabled ) {
return;
}
if ( !scrolling ) {
trigger( event, true );
}
clearTimeout( timer );
timer = setTimeout(function() {
trigger( event, false );
}, 50 );
});
}
};
This is somewhat still a problem in iOS13 (when a long text gets deleted in the 'textarea' field, fixed header jumps to the start of that 'textarea' field, obstructing the view), therefore, I thought I share my quick fix:
Since my footer is rather large, I went about without any JS and just adding a greater z-index to the footer than what the fixed header has. Out of sight, out of mind.

Dojo dialog, the iPad and the virtual keyboard issue

Recently, I have been working on a project where the interface should work for desktop and tablets (in particular the iPad).
One issue I am coming across is with a Dojo dialog on the iPad when text entry is taking place.
Basically here is what happens:
Load Dojo interface with buttons on iPad - OK
Press button (touch) to show dialog (90% height and width) - OK
Click on text box (touch) like DateTextBox or TimeTextBox - OK, the virtual keyboard is opened
Click the date or time I want in the UI (touch) - OK, but I can't see all of the options since it is longer than the screen size...
Try to scroll down (swipe up with two fingers or click 'next' in the keyboard) - not OK and the dialog repositions itself to have it's top at the top of the viewport area.
Basically, the issue is that the dialog keeps trying to reposition itself.
Am I able to stop dialog resizing and positioning if I catch the window onResize events?
Does anyone else have this issue with the iPad and Dojo dialogs?
Also, I found this StackOverflow topic on detecting the virtual keyboard, but it wasn't much help in this case...
iPad Web App: Detect Virtual Keyboard Using JavaScript in Safari?
Thanks!
I just came across the same issue yesterday and found a hack,
which is not an elegant solution.
If you want to stop the dijit.Dialog from repositioning you can:
1) Set the property ._relativePosition of a dijit.Dialog object
(in this case it's "pop") after calling the method pop.show():
pop.show();
pop._relativePosition = new Object(); //create empty object
Next steps would probably be:
Check browser type&OS: dojo or even better BrowserDetect
Check when the virtual keyboard is activated and disable repositioning
Extend dijit.Dialog with custom class (handle all of the exceptions)
As suggested another way to do this is to override the _position function by extending the object (or maybe relative position, or other method). Here is my solution which only allows the dialog to be positioned in the middle of the screen once. There are probably better ways to change this by playing with the hide and show events but this suits my needs.
dojo.provide("inno.BigDialog");
dojo.require("dijit.Dialog");
dojo.declare("inno.BigDialog",dijit.Dialog,{
draggable:false,
firstPositioned : false,
_position : function() {
if (!dojo.hasClass(dojo.body(), "dojoMove") && !this.firstPositioned) {
this.firstPositioned = true;
var _8 = this.domNode, _9 = dijit.getViewport(), p = this._relativePosition, bb = p ? null
: dojo._getBorderBox(_8), l = Math
.floor(_9.l
+ (p ? p.x : (_9.w - bb.w) / 2)), t = Math
.floor(_9.t
+ (p ? p.y : (_9.h - bb.h) / 2));
if (t < 0) // Fix going off screen
t = 0;
dojo.style(_8, {
left : l + "px",
top : t + "px"
});
}
}
});
You can override the _position function and call the _position function of the superclass only once. (See http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/declare.html#calling-superclass-methods)
if (!dojo._hasResource["scorll.asset.Dialog"]) {
dojo._hasResource["scorll.asset.Dialog"] = true;
dojo.provide("scorll.asset.Dialog");
dojo.require("dijit.Dialog");
dojo.declare("scorll.asset.Dialog", [dijit.Dialog], {
_isPositioned: false,
_position: function () {
if(this._isPositioned == false) {
// Calls the superclass method
this.inherited(arguments);
this._isPositioned = true;
}
}
})
}
