Flex :: Resizing A Spark Group By Setting Width And Height?
Apr 28, 2011I have been given the seemingly simply task of resizing a Group container by setting width and height explicitly in response to user interaction. However, changing these values have no effect on the size of the container at all. Changing scaleX and/or scaleY will change the size of the container just fine, but this is not the behavior I am after.I have tried overriding updateDisplayList() to set a specific width and height, but this has not yielded the desired results.

Get Total Height Of A Container's Children In Flex?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: VGroup - (Parent) Container Does Not Change Height With Children?
May 13, 2011I 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??

Actionscript 3 :: Setting Width And Height Of A Sprite Container?
Feb 27, 2011I know this might seem like such an easy issue and I can't understand why I cant figure it out but none the less I can't and I've just about given up. Here's the issue:
I have a sprite container which is supposed to hold a bunch of thumbnails to videos. I am able to populate the container with all the videos and the whole works but obviously if I add a bunch of videos its going to exceed the size of the flash document so I need to add a UIScrollBar (which I did) now the scrollbars target is set to the container but isnt allowing me to scroll and if im correct this is because the container doesnt have a set height. So Im trying to set the height of this container but the second I try setting the height or even width all my thumbnails I used to be able to see are gone! It's as if the size is being set to 0 when its not I've even tried to set it to a specified size just to test and nothing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Why Cannot Put Filters In A Group Container
May 19, 2011I am trying to design a custom group container. This is my code below. I have a Group openning tag and a GlowFilter inside the declarations. When I run the code, it gives me error Code: ArgumentError: Error #2005: Parameter 0 is of the incorrect type. Should be type Filter. I have no idea what went wrong. The code compiles fine, but not able to run. The workaround is change the Group to BorderContainer or remove the filters, but I just don't see why Group has a problem with it. I have attached my simplest project file.

Flex :: Moving Children Of A Container (defined In MXML) Inside An "inner Container"
Jan 27, 2010I'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 :: Listen For Dispatched Events From Container Children?
Oct 5, 2010I'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, 2011I 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.

Flex :: How To Find Height Of Children In TabNavigator
Nov 13, 2009I'm having sizing issues with a TabNavigator. The direct children of the TabNavigator are Canvases, and within these I am adding Images. I'm trying to resize the images to fit within the Canvas without scrollbars. The Canvas height is set to 100% of the parent, which is the TabNav. Then I'm setting the image.height = parent.height *.9. The result is that Flex is generating scrollbars because the images are too high. It appears that the root cause is that the height property of the TabNavigator is the height of the entire component, including the height of the tabs. I'm assuming therefore it also contains that little strip of space between the tabs and the children of the TabNavigator. This makes sense, but is there a property that returns only the height of the children? I'm aware of the scrollbar policy properties and I've experimented with those. I know I can also try a different multiplier for the image size to get it to fit. It just seems like there should be a property to get the size of the space for the children.
View 1 RepliesFlex Get Height Of Children When To Call Function?
Jun 8, 2009I have a function I wrote that gets the height of the application without scrolling. Meaning the height it would need to be to not have to scroll.
[Code]...
This function works well but the problem is knowing when to call it. I planned on calling it after I add/remove any children from it. However thats still too soon because I don't get the correct height yet if I run it then. The fix I currently have is using a Timer to call the function about 300 milliseconds after a child is added/removed which seems to work well but I think this is a very risky fix. So I was wondering a better solution. I am thinking there has to be some sort of event I can listen for that will tell me when its ready for me to run this function, I just don't know what event that would be?

Sep 30, 2011I have a ViewStack which is dataProvider for a TabBar. There are two VBoxs as children for this ViewStack.
