Your not alone, but extending every component for the sake of defaulting all containers to 100% seems mega-bleh. I wish they'd default to that instead.

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) -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com http://www.flexcoder.com (Coming Soon) Yahoo!
