Flex :: Mxml - Dynamically Resize Parent Container To Contain Children

Feb 11, 2010

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.

Flex :: VGroup - (Parent) Container Does Not Change Height With Children?

May 13, 2011

I have code like the following:
<s:VGroup gap="10" id="group" height="100%">
<s:Label text="This is page 2" />
<s:Button content="Resize Canvas" click="resize(event);"/>
<mx:Canvas id="photoCanvas" color="#567898" backgroundColor="#125567">
</mx:Canvas>
</s:VGroup>

I don't understand why the following does not work:
Pushing the Button resizes the photoCanvas's height (gets taller or smaller). Since the photoCanvas control is a child element of the VGroup shouldn't the container update itself to the new height? The Vgroup has ALWAYS the same height, no matter what the (total) height of the children is! I would like the VGroup to adjust itself and get a height value equal to the sum of its children heights. Is this not possible??

Flex :: Moving Children Of A Container (defined In MXML) Inside An "inner Container"

Jan 27, 2010

I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

Flex :: Prevent Dragging Outside The Parent Container In Flash?

Nov 22, 2010

I have a canvas onto which I draw shapes like rectangle etc. When I move the shape using my custom mouse down/mouse move handler, the shape can go outside the parent bounds.

I am checking if the child is outside the parent's bound to snap it back:

var bounds:Rectangle = this.getBounds(this.parent);
var p:Point;
if (bounds.x <0) {

[Code]...

The snapInside method gets called when I go outside the left or top boundary. But when the child is dragged outside the right or bottom boundary, I find Flex/Flash runtime automatically expands the parent's height and width. So say the parent size was initially 800x600, if child Y bounds exceed 800 by say 20 pixel, I find the this.parent.height automatically resized by flex to 820!!

How do I prevent the parent from resizing when child goes outside the original bounds of the parent ?

Flash - Children Movieclips Doesn't Show Its Width And Height According To Parent Movieclip

Jul 19, 2011

I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .

I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.

Flash :: MovieClip Progress Bar Width Is Too Small Relative To Parent Container?

Feb 17, 2010

On the stage I have a movieclip (Container, originally 200px width) and inside it with a progressbar movieclip (originally 700px width), scaled with Free Transform Tool to fit the parent container. The width of the container changes run-time while resizing the scene.

In ActionScript I have a function which should set the progress bar width according to a calculated percentage value:

private function updateProgress(event:TimerEvent):void
{
var barWidth:int = _container.width;
var progress:Number = _stream.time / _stream.duration * barWidth;
_progressBar.width = progress;
}

My problem is that the progressBar even at full time (100%) is only at 1/4 of the parent container. I assume that it comes from the symbols original size.

Can I correct this programatically, or I must redesign it with the "designer"?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove All Children From Container

Oct 2, 2008

Well I'm starting to really enjoy AS3, my next question then is this: In AS2 I'd often remove all movieclips with something like this:
PHP Code:
for(var i: String in container) {
container[i].removeMovieClip();
}
Is there something similar in AS3 that I can do without resorting to maintaining an array of references to each child of my container?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Multiple Children From Container Mc?

Oct 5, 2009

I am having trouble determining where to add my removeChild() statement to clear multiple movieClips from a container mc. I know I need to determine if the container movieclip contains anything. I don't know how or what I should put and where to put it. If I can determine if my container mc has movies in it, I am assuming I can just declare it again (i.e

PHP Code:
panel= new MovieClip();
)to clear it. Am I correct?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting A Container To A Certain Number Of Children?

Feb 9, 2009

At one point in my script I'd like to check a MC for the number of children and limit this number to 3. For that I use this script:

Code:
if (container.numChildren > 3){
for (i = container.numChildren; i > 3; i--){
container.removeChild(container.getChildAt(i-1));
popError('Horizontal nur 3 Elemente!');
}
}

This somehow works fine if there are 4 or 5 children in the MovieClip, but as soon as there are 6 or more, it throws an Argument Error #2025 and does not remove anything. BTW it does not make difference if I use container.removeChildAt(i-1);

Flex :: Listen For Dispatched Events From Container Children?

Oct 5, 2010

I'm using an accordion container that has it's creation policy set to auto. One of the accordion's children is a spark border container that has a data grid within it. Currently, I'm using the data grid's creationComplete property to call a function; similarly, I'm using the dragComplete property to call another function.

How can I add listeners for events (creationComplete & dragComplete) via actionscript? The obvious problem is that the accordion does not create all its children on creation (nor do I want it to), so I can't simply use something like: datagrid.addEventListener(...)

Flex - Container's Clipped Children Not Visible On Scrolling?

Mar 30, 2011

I have a VBox inside a Canvas. The 'red bars' are custom components based on 'Canvas'. All red bars are of equal height. I have 20 red bars inside the VBox. The scrollbars visible in the screenshot are the Canvas's scrollbars. The scrollbars of the VBox are disabled using verticalScrollPolicy = off.

Without scrolling, only 16 red bars (and a part of the 17th bar) are visible. However, when I scroll down the Canvas I expect to see the remaining red bars - but the bars that are not visible when the application starts don't get 'drawn'. What am I doing wrong? I want the user to be able to see the 17th - 20th bars when the Canvas is scrolled down.
