Flex :: Layout - Totally Re-sizable Application ?
Jun 27, 2011
I would like to create an totally re-sizable application using Flex 4.5. I experimented already but my approach seems to be hard to maintain so it does not look good to me. Here is my approach:Concerning the HTML I actually have a first page which detects the user's monitor resolution and then redirects to the flash container HTML(a JSP) which reads the width and height parameters and renders the flash to the size passed.In my application I used the 1280x720 as the reference size so I have created a utility class:
package utils
{
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;[code].....
I pass the percentage value relative to height or width and I get back just that. So I actually bind the height/width of components to e.g {LayoutUtils.relativeToWidth(50)} which would return 640 if my applications width would be 1280. But this means setting width and/or height to almost every component and this includes also padding and anchor positions which makes it a mess. I want everything to be re sized correctly(including fonts). All the available sizes I am going to have available will keep the same aspect ratio which is going to be 16:9 for example because I can't see any other way of doing it

My flex application gets some parameters from URL when the application opens for the first time(ex: layout=<1,2,3,4> ). Based on layout(1,2,3,4) value I have to change the layout. However the problem is the application is already drawn(Layout is initialized) by the time the control reaches the point where it reads the values from the URL. I was wondering how can I redraw once I read the values from URL. Some thing like refresh.

I was modifying the layout of a Flex application in Flex Builder. What I didn't realize was that the changes I made, were made for a particular state. There are around 6-7 states in my application. Now, I need those changes to be made to all of those states. How do I do it? As of now there are multiple lines like this in one state :
<mx:SetProperty target="{accno}" name="x" value="116"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{accno}" name="y" value="826"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{phone}" name="x" value="116"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{phone}" name="y" value="866"/>

I have two panels and a button nested within an hbox. I want the panels to appear side-by-side and the button to appear under both panels equi-distant from the sides of the hbox (i.e. in the center).Getting the panels side-by-side was easy, but how do I get the button below both panels and in the center. Currently, the button show up to the right of the second panel.

In HTML/CSS, if you float items, DIV's that exceed the width of the container are moved down 1 line.
I would like to achieve this in FLEX. I have 3 components with variable width. I would like for the 3rd component to be moved down when it doesnt fit the container any more.

I'm trying to hide both the vertical and horizontal axis renderers in flex so I can take a picture of the chart without them.I've set both renders to visible = false and includeInLayout = false. They don't show up but they still take space. I've tried setting widths/heights to 0 and that doesn't help either.
<mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
<mx:AxisRenderer
id="horizontalAxisRenderer"
axis="{dtAxis}"

I have a list with tile layout,I have given the item renderer's width as 100%, but the item dosen't resize to fit the content . The same scenario works well for horizontal and vertical layout.
My code looks like this
<s:List width="{this.width}" dataProvider="{allActionsArrList}">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout />

Does anyone know of a simple way to implement a DividedBox layout similar to flex, but done through Flash/as3 ?
I would think there would be a library out there for that already, or some resources, but I'm having a hard time googling for it, as it;s either Flex or unrelated content I keep finding.
EDIT just came across yahoo's astra library (example)

I have a function that is made up of two main parts (I'll call them A and B). Part B needs to run when part A is fully done with its layout changes. However, there is no "part A is done" signal, and thus I've been calling a validateNow() before part B runs. This works but seems awfully inefficient - was wondering if there are any other tricks to force an immediate measure or something along those lines or if I'm stuck.

I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?

My problem is pretty simple: Flex containers do layout based on un-transformed children, and so rotated children are positioned as if there were no rotation, but then they're rotated around the top-left of that position. I've attached an image to show what I mean. Can I wrap the components in something? Or do I have to resort to custom components or fixed layouts? The image inlining doesn't look like it's working to me. Link to example image: [URL]

I am particularly interested in creating new List/Bullets features so some example code for Flash would be great.
