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.

I'm trying to avoid the scroll bar appearance on an UIComponent. Is there any way to obtain the computed width/height that my container component should have to have all children visible? I don't want to compute it myself. I would like to know if there is any variable computed by the component when it decides if it should draw the scroll bar or not.

I am implementing the flash slider, Piecemaker, for the first time in my latest project. I've got a problem with it's animation being cropped by the width and height of its container, and I cannot for the life of me work out how to let it overflow outside its container during animations. There is also a weird problem I've just noticed that the top of the slider gets clipped off for some reason? who's worked with piecemaker, or something similar, or a css ninja see what the problem is? Here is the demo as it is at the moment - Link

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.

I'm using as container for my LinkButtons. I would like to know
1) How can I remove the space between the items in my Tile container.
2) How can I set dynamic width for my items (at the moment they all have the same width regardless the width of the included component)
3) How can I avoid to display scrollbars if the items are not included in the container

If I have a container, and I set clipContent to true, how do I get the total height of the children inside it? Is there a method for doing this without itinerating through every child and summing the heights?

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(...)

I've got the following situation, where I have an outer Vbox that is set at a fixed width, and then inside it there is a header made from an HBox and a content area (Canvas) that is much wider than the enclosing VBox (and therefore requires scrollbars on the outer VBox to see it all).
I would like to set the width of the header to fill the entire width of the outer container, but only the visible part, and to remain fixed so that when I scroll to view the content, the header doesn't move.

My question is: Set parentSprite.visible = false will make all children in parentSprite all invisible, right? And is there any way to just make parentSprite itself invisible without effecting it's children?

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.

If I've got a Container with a child component that is off either the top or the left hand side:
Is there any way to get scroll bars to show up? ie, so I can scroll up and get the button back in view, the same way I could if the button was off the bottom right side?

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's new States re-parents visual items that are marked with includeIn/excludeFrom. If I have a Group (MainGroup) with 5 children/elements that are state controlled, is there still a way to get a reference to MainGroup's children? mainGroup.numChildren and mainGroup.numElements don't work since the children are re-parented. At best, they show 1.
<s:states>
<s:State name="view1State" />
<s:State name="view2State" />
<s:State name="view3State" />

I have a tree with a dataprovider which takes the following form:
<details name="Cars">
<contact_person>aaaa</contact_person>
<list>
[Code].....
That is I want to hide the contact_person and list nodes.Deleting the nodes from the dataprovider cannot be done.So what i did was to create a custom tree data descriptor by extending DefaultDataDescriptor.Then override the getChildren method and applied a filterfunction to the collection returned by super.getChildren.The problem is when i hide the 'list' node I cannot have the child nodes to show up.So is there any way I can hide 'list' but show the children of 'node'?

I have a custom component extending Group and containing a viewstack child. The component is coded in actionscript.
When instantiating the component in mxml like so:
<components:CustomGroup width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0xDDFF11" width="100%" height="100%" />
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0x22DD63" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</components:CustomGroup>
...I would like to override whatever function that adds the children to the parent Group and add them to the child viewstack instead but I can't seem to find where the adding occurs. Breakpoints in addChild and addElement shows that they are not called during the add.

I am using a scroller component within a custom skin for a SkinnableDataContainer. I am running into an issue in that the thumbbar of the scroller stops at about the 50% point, however this is actually the end of the scrollable area. In actuality, the thumbbar should be at the bottom of the scroll track. Here's the code for the scroller:
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" bottom="150" >

I have a DataGrid in my project. It doesn't fit's the width of the form, so the scrollBar appears. The DataGrid, on it's initial state, displays a few columns and a part of the next column (which would appear after scrolling). Is there any way, I can get the width of this, displaying part?

This may well just be because it can't be done but here goes.Does anyone know of a way that I can make a MoviecClip "visible=false" whilst stopping just one of its children's, children's, children...etc from also going invisible.I am aware that it can be done by setting them all individually but this will take a lot of code (and I like tidy code...and I'm lazy), and I am reluctant to use a loop as it will interrupt the animation that is going on at the time.

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?

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?

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);

What's the best way to scale a container mc but not scale the children inside it? Basically I have a box mc with a background colour, with a logo added using addChild, if the user changes the browser size the box scales to the height of the window but it's also scaling the logo, I just want to change the height of the container box really.
