Re: [flexcoders] Flex2B2 - cut off any gui controls that appear outside of parent container

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

For you to understand the problem you need to understand how the HBox lays it's children out and uses viewMetrics.

The reason this is not working is because since you specified 75%
width, the container will calc the .75 of the width minus anything that
is static IE your button 2.

When you say paddingRight = -15, this kind defines the logic of the layout.

For some reason, when you specify -15 for paddingLeft, the content on both sides then get clipped.

I am not Adobe, but I would venture to guess this cannot be done right
now. Not saying this is a bug but, I don't think the layout
algorithm  takes negetives into account.

You could always subclass HBox and create a mask over it and use borderMetrics to size the mask.

Peace, Mike
