[flexcoders] Re: Flex2B3 :: Container :: How to get into the 'end' partition

[Michael Schmalle]

Oh, I feel stupid;

I guess it took a nights sleep and this odd sugar caffine combination to realize I can't see.

HA,

I had this line(which by the way, don't program like this, you will waste time just like I did)

var ms:MouseSizer = event.currentTarget.rawChildren.getChildByName("__mouseSizer__");

The mistake;

event.currentTarget.setChildIndex(mouseSizer , event.currentTarget.numChildren - 1);

I think it's obvious what is wrong here. I am not using the rawChildren
list. THis is a perfect example of chaining things in a prototype
project(quick and dirty) where it comes back and bites you hard.

This is the goods;

            var
rawChildren:IChildList = IChildList(event.currentTarget.rawChildren);
            var
mouseSizer:MouseSizer = rawChildren.getChildByName("__mouseSizer__") as
MouseSizer;
            rawChildren.setChildIndex(mouseSizer, rawChildren.numChildren - 1);

Hi Adobe, it's me again...

Question;

I have a mouse sizer that embeds it's self in a Window at runtime. I
use a static method MouseSizer.addInto(window) to intialize the window
with resizing capabilities.

Now, I totally understand Container's partition, it's an awsome
implementation for the problem that was faced. How do I get my mouse
sizer to be placed in the end partition, not the beginning?

I have created an extended framework from Container and all my
components subclass WorkSpace that is a subclass of Container. So my
Window is of that chain. I adjust the viewMetrics(which ironically,
never got an snswer on my post a few days ago, borderMetrics is still
not acting logical!).

When I add the mouse sizer, it is above my bars, but below the content
of the Container.(this makes sense, it's getting added at the beginning
partition)

If I find the answer looking through the source I will post. If you could help out that would be great!

Peace, Mike-- What goes up, does come down.
