No, it doesn't work. As my following example shows, the Form will not - either when its first instantiated or later programmically - resize such that its children's widths are reduced. This is what a Form should be able to do to be generically reusable in different screen space situations (within reason, of course).
BTW, specifying the child FormItem(s), their children as flexible (% width) doesn't make any difference, either. ------------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:FormHeading label="My Form Heading"> </mx:FormHeading> <mx:Form id="form" width="50%" backgroundColor="blue"> <mx:FormItem label="My FormItem 1 Label"> <mx:TextInput text="This is the first TextInput Control and it has a rather lengthy value, in order to make the form's original with value quite large." /> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> <mx:Button label="Resize Form" click="form.width = '10%'" /> </mx:Application> ------------------------------------------------------ --- In [email protected], Manish Jethani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > extensive_systems wrote: > > > I'd like to be able, in effect, to say something like <MyForm > > width="75%"> (and get a smaller form with shorter fields that could be > > fit into less screen space).
