I want to use actionscript 3 to create mxml(flex 4) controls dynamically and automatically taking care of layout. For example, if I want to put 6 buttons and a s:label in a layout container by just specifying the positioning of the container and not the locations of individual controls.
View 1 RepliesI need to have a spark list that switches between VerticalLayout and TileLayout depending on the user choice. The most obvious way is create two lists with separate layouts and then use States and the "includeIn" attribute. However, this is not a very good solution because I would like to keep the same items in the view when switching (if user scrolled to item 100 in the VerticalLayout and then switches to Tile, I would like item 100 to be visible immediately in the new layout, instead of starting at the first item).So I tried using 2 layouts on the same list and using the "includeIn" solution.[code]

I am attempting to implement a layout in Adobe Flex 4.5 / MXML where I have multiple controls in an HBox that - in total - consume all available horizontal screen estate. Some use a relative with (percentage), some an absolute width (pixels) and one is supposed to consume whatever space is still left, such as:
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
| 35% | fill parent | 10px |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
How would I achieve this in Flex (is there something comparable to Android's
layout_width="fillparent")?
Due to the fact that there are elements that have an absolute width I cannot easily calculate the width of the filler as a percentage a priori (as it varies with the screen width). Setting the filler's width to 100% also does not work as this will shrink the 35% area below 35%. Applying the updateDisplayList suggestion from www.Flextras.com's answer below yields the error "Call to a possibly undefined method updateDisplayList" at the line marked in the source excerpt below:

View 3 RepliesI have been stuck on this for far too long. I think it's simple so I must be misunderstanding something. I want these to display across the full width of my flash app. When I shrink the width of the flash player I want a scrollbar to appear. At the moment no scroll bar is appearing.

View 1 RepliesI've got a rather simple question about loading in an xml file at runtime in a SWF. I've found a couple different methods to load in the xml.
myXml.load("file.xml");

What is better way to load an xml file that always has the same name and is located in the same folder as the SWF on the web server?
Friends, I am developing a control panel for a web hosting company, I am considering using Adobe Flex 4 (Adobe Flash Builder), but I'm afraid that the staff are no longer using more flash in computers, especially with the growth of ipad, iphone without flash.
This panel will be used by enterprise customers to manage their products.
Do you think that the flash actually has a future? think it is reliable to use flash in such an application?
Is it possible to create a mirroring effect in Flex4 at runtime? (load picture and create a mirrored part of that image).

View 3 RepliesI have been working since a long time on a particular flash(Action Script 3.0) project and did all the test and development under the Flash itself(tested by Ctrl+Enter) . But It should be compatible with the browser,so i exported all these to my localhost, and its working fine.

I have been given the task at work to create a interactive tree. A little like a family tree, but instead of people it will be branches (think of them as buildings). I've spent a day or so looking and finding out how to get the data from my SQL database in a format that flash can read it etc. Anyhow the problem is I don't really know where to start with the graphical aspect of it...
Each branch can have more than one child and i want the user to be able to scroll through the history of that branch, seeing it's parent branch and also it's child branches, each branch will have a certain amount of information to show. So it's almost as if i need to create a branch class and then use this and load all the data into it etc.
Should i create a new layer for each branch? Then when the user clicks a down button i just take them to a new layer? Do i create the whole thing on one layer and have navigation buttons so the user can scroll around the window and see all the other branches?
It would be nice if i could draw the damn thing at run time, and the user almost walks along lines from one branch to another, and has the option which path to take if one branch has more than one child etc.
Is there an easy way to make a parent container (eg Group) resize when it's children resize?
Below is a little example app. When I put the 200x200 'food' in the 'stomach' the stomach & it's containing 100x100 'body' should resize to contain the food.
