RE: [flexcoders] SWF Loader is not repainting when I make the with to 0 and again expand it.

Don't set its width/height to 0.  It creates a degenerate transform (scaleX/Y = 
0) then future scaling is using that scaleFactor.

Set it to 1, set visible=false.  Or reset scaleX/Y before setting width/height 
when expanding

Hi,

SWF loader is loading the swf file and when I minimize the swf loader
by setting its width to 0 and expand it then it is not repainting.

Here is the code snippet i am using

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%"
paddingTop="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingBottom="0"
verticalAlign="middle" verticalGap="0">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

/* Collapse : Expand Left Panel */
public function sizeSearchPanel():void
{
if (searchView.width<=0) {
searchView.width=260;
}
else if (searchView.width>=0){
searchView.width=0;
}
}

]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%" horizontalGap="0">

<mx:SWFLoader id="searchView" source="SearchComponent.swf"
scaleContent="true"
x="0" y="0" width="260" height="100%"/>

<mx:VBox id="seperator" width="6" height="100%"
verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center" horizontalGap="0"
backgroundImage="@Embed(source='resources/togglebar.png')"
top="2" bottom="2">
<mx:Button id="btnCloseSearch" width="6" height="43"
toggle="true" selected="false"
styleName="CollapseLeft"
click="sizeSearchPanel()"/>
</mx:VBox>

<mx:Canvas id="tableView" width="100%" height="100%"/>

</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>

There is a expand/collapse panel and SWFloader sits in it and when I
expand i set the SWFloader width to 250 and when I close I set the SWF
width to 0.

Initially the panel will be in the expanded mode and I can see the SWF
loaded and rendered. When I minimize and expand again poof... it
disappears and doen't render again?

Am I doing some thing wrong or is it a bug in SWF loader?

Thanks,
Srikanth
