Flex :: Determine The Height Of A Spark Label That Becomes Multiline?
Dec 9, 2011I am trying to determine the height of a Spark label that becomes multiline at runtime (due to width property being set), to account for text overflow.
(For a spark label named Title) I have tried:
Title.measureText(Title.text).height - this seems to return only the height of one line. (Due to differing screen-sizes and font rendering, I don't know in advance how many lines the text would overflow to...)
Title.height - this seems to return the height of the label size (before being re-adjusted at runtime for multiline text flow)
Both properties above return an unchanging value even when different text lengths/multiple lines long are filled in .text
Is there really no way to determine the exact height of an overflow Spark label?
I am admittedly not that familiar with the Flex API but after scouring the manual for quite some time, I am still unable to place this title label with the proper spacing.

May 6, 2009I need to write a function that will position a movieclip depending on the height of the stage.I'm a little uncertain as how to proceed with this, as my knowledge on AS2 is still developing..Basically I want something like the following thought process:
if stage is < 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)-100
if stage is > 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)+100
I hope this makes sense. I guess I'm unsure as how to determine the height of the stage (I've created a stage that sizes itself to the browser dimensions).

Flex :: Get Label Height After Setting Text Property?
Jun 17, 2011I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset.

Actionscript 3 :: Determine A Caller's Class?
Apr 21, 2011since the MXMLC compiler doesn't support mixed access modifiers for setters/getters, i would like to know whether a public setter function is being called from inside or outside of the setter's class. this approach should allow me to maintain a public property but with more security, something like public/private hybrid access. is it possible to use arguments' callee property, or perhaps something else, to determine whether the setter was set internally from the setter's class or if it was set externally?

Flex :: Determine Which Class Has Called A Function?
Apr 16, 2010I am working on a Flex Front End at the moment, and have been using the Parsley framework for passing messages/events around.
I was wondering if there is a simple way for a function (in this case, an event's constructor) to obtain a reference to the object which called it?
This is to ensure that a certain event that I am defining can only be dispatched by one specified class. My thinking is to check the caller of the constructor somehow, and throw an error if it is not of the correct type.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Determine When A Method Or Property Was Added To A Player Or SDK Class?
Sep 11, 2009I recently found a method (ByteArray.clear()) that FlexBuilder complains is possibly undefined; however, the method is in fact documented in the Flex LiveDocs. It must have been added in a later version of the SDK than I have installed. I'm not asking about this particular method, but I'm giving it as an example of the documentation issue that I'm trying to resolve. My questions are:
How can I determine what version of the SDK or Flash player that a method or property was added in? How can I tell which versions of the SDK are supported on which Flash player versions?
I want to be able to determine from the documentation, instead of compiler or runtime errors, what SDK and Flash player versions are needed to support newly added methods.
With Java I look for the @since javadoc tag when I need to know this, but I can't find an equivalent feature in the Flex docs.
Actionscript 3 :: Use SWF Height For Class Variable?

Actionscript 3 :: Change A Frame Label Within A GotoAndStop('label') With The Parameters In A Function?
Feb 29, 2012Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});

However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.

View 2 RepliesBind A Flex Component's Height To Height Of Browser Window?
Nov 10, 2009I want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?

Flex :: Layout - Set Height Of Accordion To Height Of Tallest Child
Apr 5, 2010By default the height of an Flex Accordion container is the height of the initially selected child. I'd like to be able to set the height to the tallest child so that no resizing or scrolling is necessary when other children are selected. I do not want to use the resizeToContent property. I want the size of the container to stay constant no matter what child is selected.
My current thought is to extend the accordion class setting the creation policy to "all" and then override the measure function to loop through all the children and find the tallest one and use that for the height. This seems a little kludgy though, so I'd like to know if there is a better approach. Ultimately my question is: is there a way to set the size of an accordion container such that the container never resizes and scoll bars are never necessary to display any of the children?
Flash :: Symbol's Height (in Code) Seem Different Than Its Height (in Design)
Jan 11, 2011I have a bit of graphical content inside a symbol that I've created in Flash CS5. Let's call it FunGraphics_Art, it's set to export, and it extends MovieClip.When I edit the symbol in Flash and I hit control-A, the properties panel tells me that all of the content has a height of 72 pixels, positioned at 0,0.The content consists of a few (classic) textfields, and a couple of Checkbox components and a few bits of vector art.All the content is on a single frame, no layers.So far, so good. I export my art as a .svc and am able to use it all in code just fine. However I then add the following bit of code to my .as file..[code]Somehow, there's something strange going on that's causing Flash to think my exported symbol is about 75 pixels higher than it actually is. I've looked around for invisible "blank" textfields, but haven't found anything yet.
