I've found that i've been constantly typing width="100%" height="100%"
and so on for containers within containers and what not, and have
found it to be tedious task.
The thing is though, sometimes i want width="100%" but height to be
default (ie whatever the height of the movieclip in question)
but most of the time i've wanted 100% for both metrics for a typical container.
To combat this i put together a buch of custom MXML components that
simply use the MX built-in ones, but on initialize they simply setup
some default settings (margins, width/height etc)
At the same time i have an attribute like autoHeight=false|true which
will set the height to 100% or don't automatically define the height
so the code looks like:
public var autoHeight:Boolean = true;
function autoLayout() {
if(autoHeight) {
height = height || "100%";
}
}
then when i want to use an autoLayout container i would do this:
<inco:VBox>
//... Stuff here.
</inco:VBox>
Now, does anyone else do something similiar? or have found it a
repetitive task? have i overlooked an attribute setting somewhere - (I
had thought of using CSS but thats not as agile as my autoLayout
capabilities)
