Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 UIComponent Width And Height Remains Zero After AddChild Is Called?
Aug 25, 2011
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()
[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'm trying to make my site Fluid but the problem is my menu is created with a for loop and addChild. These childs are pushed inside an array and this array is within an empty movieClip. But when I try to place this menu at the center [ ((stage.stagewidth / 2) - (menuGroup.width / 2)) for X, you know the drill for Y] it won't get centered because with a few traces I figured out the holder movieClip has no width and height. Is this normal? I thought the movieClip is supposed to automaticly have a width and height assigned to it according to its content?

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.

I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth

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?

I recently used fl.controls.List to implement a list with custom CellRenderer.I did it by implementing ICellRenderer:[code]Inside MyRenderer I added a fl.controls.Button, then set its label. However, when the List is rendered (by dynamically adding item into its dataProvider), the button body is not rendered, only the label is rendered. When I move my mouse over it, the button is then properly rendered.I found this strange, then tried use myButton.drawNow() in constructor. The problem seem to be solved. Now the button is rendered, but the label is not at the very center of the button (it's a bit towards right). Then, when I move my mouse over it again, the label move to the center, and everything's ok.This may be a minor problem, but I just wonder why this is happening. Why must drawNow() to be called? Why the label is not properly placed even when drawNow() is called?

I have an actionscript, which makes a dynamic image wall. It gets parameters from FlashVar and changes the width and height dynamically.
When I use
[SWF(width="584",height="290")]
It's fully centered, but when I remove it, it's appear ~+50px from left. How can I set dynamically the SWF metadata or what I need to set for the correct view?
Top of the picture with SWF tag and the bottom is without SWF tag.

I'm trying to set width/height of a FlexSprite object in ActionScript but it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm still a rookie when it comes to ActionScript and I don't understand why I can't set the dimensions of that object. I know I could use a UIComponent but I need something more lightweight since I'm going to add hundreds of them.
public class MyComp extends UIComponent
{
public function MyComp()
{
[Code].....
I plan to add other objects inside the FlexSprite and I need to set their dimensions explicitly as well so I really need to figure out how to do that.

I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown. However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf (loader.content.width/loader.content.height) is the complete swf including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's contents? also i need to re size the masked area

In my Flex application, I've got a component that extends UIComponent where I'm loading images at runtime and try to display them. I've tried lots of different approaches (using beginBitmapFill(), using different containers), but I can't get things to work as I want. The problem seems to be related to the width and height properties of the image, which aren't updated correctly.The idea is:
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var im:Image = new Image();[code].....
The image's width and height doesn't seem to be correct when it's loaded. I get width==0 (and nothing is displayed), but the property $width seems to be correct. How can I assure that width and height of the loaded image is updated?

I'm playing around with code like this:
<s:Button id="test" label="test" transformX="{Math.floor(test.width/2)}" rotationY="20" x="20" y="20" />
The button is rotated on the Y axis and the rotate pivot is in the middle of the button.
This will create a button that looks something like this[code]...
I put together a sample to show off the various approaches for calculating this that people are suggesting. The source code is also available. Nothing is quite working like I'd expect. For example, turn the rotationSlider to 85. The button is effectively invisible, yet all approaches are still giving it height and width.

Is it possible to dynamically (not in the project's options) change the dimensions of the stage by using ActionScript 3? I'd want to create a 400x300px loader, but I also want it to load animations that have bigger or smaller dimensions. I would then change the width and height of the loader to make the loaded animations fit well. Is there any way to do that?

I'm new to flex and I have a question concerning bitmapData and its width and height. Normally you set up bitmapData like this in AS3:
Code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 100, true, 0x00000000);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bd);
But in Flex embedding an an image works like this:
Code:
[Embed(source="../../../../../assets/sprites/asteroids/asteroid_32_full.gif")]
public static const Asteroid1:Class;
var imageBM:Bitmap = new Library.Asteroid1();
When using the bitmapData (e.g. imageBM.bitmapData) I don't have to set up width and height any more. Does the Flash player know the width and height of a bitmapData automatically even when NOT setting up the bitmapData's width and height? I'm totally unaware about this topic because I don't know whether the Flash player always knows the dimensions of a bitmapData. Could this cause problems when not setting up the dimensions of a bitmapData?

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?
