ActionScript 3.0 :: Change UIComponent From Fixed Width To Fit Content?
Aug 17, 2011
I have a custom alert box I wrote. It has an optional second button. I use the alert box in various ways which may or may not need the second button.Previously I was creating and adding the button dynamically, but because flash is so slow I have to preload the alert with two buttons. So there are always two buttons in this alert view. So if I have an alert with both an action button and a cancel button, then I have an alert with just a cancel button I want to hide the action button. However if I set the action button to hidden it still throws off the alginment of the cancel button in my HGroup because it's still taking up space even though it's not there. If I set the width of the action button to 0 then I am using a fixed with and whenever I need to use it again I will have to manually calculate the width of the button!! Is there a way to set the width to 0 then set it like it never had a width at all?

I've implemented a video player to integrate into my Drupal website.
I would like to assign different width and height size to my swf according to the videos sizes.
How can I do it ? Should i pass back values from Flash app with an External Call ?
Can I retrieve the height and width of the video before to pass it to flash app, so I can set the html wrapper parameters in advance ?

I have some custom components, that derived from UIComponent. I overloaded the updateDisplayList so they have custom look. I've created a layouter that lays out these custom components, but to place them correctly, I have to know the custom componets width, height. They are created dynamically. After all of them created (creationCompleted event fired for every), i try to laying out them, but width/height property is still 0. I am also tried to add them to a canvas, before the layout process.
how to create custom UIComponent that placed dynamically, and get to know the width and height of it.
With the use of the mx_internal namespace I can set width and height (using the internal $width and $height fields), and it looks like it is working. But not so clean/good solution.

Given this code:
[Code]...
Why does changing the width and height of uiComp not affect the Sprite? Wouldn't UIComponent provide Sprite with a Graphics object, which limits that area where Sprite can draw?

I have a component ObjectHolder which extends UIComponent that holds many children UIComponents. However, after using addChild() to add these children to ObjectHolder, its width and height remain zero. Is it possible for the UIComponent to automatically expand to the size of its containing children components?
public class ObjectHolder extends UIComponent
{
public function ObjectHolder()

I'm using a flex columnchart to display data, that changes at runtime. It works perfectly, except the fact, that the y-axis with is automatically resized when the values goes under 1.For example first the values of the charts are between 0 and 10. The y-axis now has labels like 0,1,2,3,4...10. If the values are going under 1 the labels are updated to 0.0, 0.1, 0.2...1.0. And because of the width of the labels, the group with the charts is resized.It looks like the chart is "jumping".So, I need a way, to set a fixed width of the y-axis of the chart.

I am seeking the answer form the brain trust at FK. I am making a quick flash movie.. which has an 'lcd screen' display.. that needs to have numbers/timer being displayed on it..
I have found a few of these LCD/CALCULATOR font types.. and thought I had one that would work.. but it does not. I need a fixed width font..(in hopes) so that when I animate it..
00:00
00:01
00:02
00:03
00:04...etc
will keeps it positioning! and NOT change 'alingment' when (say) a 0 becomes a 1. this shifts the whole textField. my questions are:
1.) is there a fixed width type font or other trick? (using the spacing or A/V parameter) to keep the characters in their positions? or will I need to break everything up and use individual text fields..and parse/split the numbers from the string?

I am trying to define a flash movie with a fixed width but 100% height. I have the movie setup with an onResize handler. My problem seems to be in the HTML. I can get it to go 100% width and height or have it aligned top left but not centered.
Code:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;

the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

Is there a way I can stop a single word splitting over two lines when putting dynamic text into a fixed width, multiline text field?I have a simple method of checking if there are more lines than words and then running a while loop to reduce the font size until there are the same amount or less lines than words. But this doesnt always work, if say the final word of three is quite short and the second word splits over two lines then I still have 3 words and 3 lines.

Probably a dumb question, but is it possible to monospace(fixed width) a font which is not monospace? I hate all the monospace fonts and was wondering if it is at all possible. I know you can set letterSpacing, but it wouldn't matter unless I could find the width of each letter and set the letterSpacing for each individual letter based on its width.If it is not possible, does anyone know of any monospace fonts that looks close to Myriad Pro or Comic Sans MS? Closest I could find was Monaco (a font from Apple that I had to download).

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

I have the following sample code and I'm not quite sure where I'm missing the mark[code]...
Am I just calling the wrong attribute? The over all goal is to find out the size of the SWF that just got loaded and to match it to the size of another MovieClip elsewhere in the code.

I've got these dynamic text fields that have their autosize and multiline set to true. I assign a width when I create the textfields, but that doesn't seem to have an effect. Using an interval, i cycle through an array that provides strings to populate the text fields.
The textfields seem to take the width of the first strings that populate them, and then stay that size, regardless of the amount of text in each new string.[code]...

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

When creating a new TextField dynamically, is there a property that automatically adjusts the width to the content or is it always necessary to have txt_field.width = ...?
My text field:
txt_field = new TextField();
txt_field.wordWrap=true;

txt_field.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

In a card game I use a TextField in the middle to display the playing table number, but also to detect if a playing card has been played - using myTextField.hitTestObject(myCard) - which means the TextField's position and dimensions may not change:
My current AS3 code is:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
format.size = 30;
[Code]......
However the TextField's content (the String "#2029" in the above screenshot) is not in the center of it.
I can not set _middle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER because this changes the width of the border (and breaks hitTestObject()).
Is there another way to align the text in the middle?

I have 1 class (that is extending a UIcomponent) that is representing a component. In that component I create different instances of another class that is also a UIComponent but this class doesn't show up in de first class. I see that it is running and that it has the correct hights but I got the feeling that it doesn't show up with this hights. If I trace I see the width and height is 200 X 200 but there is still nothing visible in my component.
