Silly question…I have implemented the Help Balloon in one of our pages to allow someone to view details on a contact. It works great but the only problem is when the user has many contacts on the page and scrolls down to the bottom area of the page, then clicks on the details icon (which opens the Help Balloon) the page jumps back to the top. If I scroll back to the bottom I see the Balloon.

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

I am developing an application for my client that is using your help bubble package. We are trying to embed a map from google map that is dynamically created based on GPS coordinates. We have tried just about everything that I can think of as we as our CTO can think of (even using iframes in the bubble) to get the map to appear. If I use the dataURL method, I will get whatever text is there (even the ColdFusion processes run fine), but the javascript that invokes the google maps…no luck. Even in the iframe, which I had a little more success, I got the map with the controls and the google copyright info, but no actual map. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance…

Hi Beau

Would you be interested in doing a custom integrating into a ViART shopping cart?

Cheers

Have you tried HelpBalloon.js version 2.0 in IE8. The balloon blends in with the web page text. I can’t work out what is wrong. The balloons work just great in Firefox and Chrome.

I was trying to find a way to have HelpBalloon display the bubble and only disappear when the mouse left the area of the link which activates it (mouseout). I saw the post by “madeureka” and it looked like that code accomplished this but I had problems with some of the syntax not working. After tweaking, here’s the code that works perfectly for me “upon mouseout”:

Quick Info!

var hb5 = new HelpBalloon({
title: ‘Title Goes Here’,
content: ‘Product Name: Product Code: Production Studio: Avaible Stock: (without cart items!)’,
useEvent: ['mouseover'],
icon: $(’test1′)
});
Event.observe(’test1′, ‘mouseout’, hb5.hide.bind(hb5));

Hi Scott, I’m using your HelpBallon.js. At first time the ballon doesn’t show balloonPrefix images. I changed your preload image function passing image dimensions, and so it works fine. Thanks for your code, is very usefull. Bye

Best Regards, Sydeen S.L.

// Preload the balloon and button images so they’re ready
// at render time

for(var i = 0; i < 4; i )
{
var balloon=new Image(300,140);
balloon.src=this.options.balloonPrefix i this.options.balloonSuffix;
this.balloons.push(balloon.src);
}

this._lastBalloon = balloon;

this.button=new Image(19,19); this.button.src=this.options.button;

I’m extremely new to using Flex hence my difficulty with something
that may be very well seem straight forward. I’m just missing something and went looking for examples. When I came across your example on dynamic module loading I decided to reach out for help.

I’m building an applicable that I feel could get very large. So I followed
the advice provided in the manuals to break the application apart into
various entities.

I started with three. The Application, a Login Module and a Base Module.
These modules were downloaded and the debugger stated so. The Login
Module was downloaded by the Application and the Base Module was
loaded by the Login Module.

Here’s the problem:

The Application loads the Login Module (it displays in the browser) w/o
any issues. After I enter a username & password then click the Ok Button,
the module gets the click event and changes the button name (wanted to
be sure that worked). In the login click function, I unload the Login module
[ ml.unloadModule(); ] first. Then I set the URL of the Base Module and
loaded the Base Module [ ml.loadModule(); ]. ml was a established as a variable [ public var ml:ModuleLoader; ] and then assigned [ ml = new ModuleLoader ]. This is nearly identical to your example.

Bottom line, the Login Display remains in the browser which I thought would
have went away after it was unloaded and the Base Module is never displayed
In the browser.

Could you tell me what I could be doing wrong. Please email me at the provided address this way I can respond during working hours. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Beau,
first of all I would like to thank you for the great job you let us use for personal purposes.
I’ve a problem with your HelpBalloon script when included in nested div. I’m trying to realize a very poor version of google map with your balloon system distributed over a big map with hidden overflow.

I tried all your examples, everywhere, but everytime I want the balloon to appear over the map it appears on the last pixel on the bottom right of my page, outside the content div. What’s wrong?

Best Regards, Eric

Hi Beau - Is there anyway to get the code for your examples that you demonstrated in the referenced posting. I need to do something like that now.

Thanks,
Arnold
