Remove a UI element

philippschnetzer

A widget can be closed using something like this:

for each (var widgetId:Number in ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getAllLoadedWidgetIds())    {     if(ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(widgetId).widgetTitle == "widget title")      AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_CLOSE, widgetId); }

My question:  how can this same thing be done for a 'widget' in the 'UI elements' section of config.xml.  I used the test open/close widget and found out that these UI elements are not considered widgets at all and the above code does not work for widgets placed in this section....thanks!

Phillip,

   Try this: There is a slight delay in between them closing but that's just the way it is.

                var cId:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("Navi",true);                 var data:Object = {                     id: cId,                     state: WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED                 }                 AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED, data);                                  var timer:Timer = new Timer(501, 1);                 timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, function():void{                     var cId2:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("headctrl",true);                     var data2:Object = {                         id: cId2,                         state: WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED                     }                     AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED, data2);                 });                 timer.start();
