RE: [flexcoders] x, y, width, and height in CSS

[Brian Deitte]

Hi Igor, if this is fixed in 2.1, that'd be great to know.  As for Manish's approach, the problem for me with this is that I would need to override every Flex component that is used to get this to work, not just Canvas.  Hopefully it is changed in 2.1 or Peter's solution will work.  -Brian From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Igor Costa Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 8:15 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] x, y, width, and height in CSS Brian As in liveDocs says the values ( width, height, x,y ) doesn't support in an external CSS file, but you can also use as Manish J. said http://mannu.livejournal.com/299285.html you can override the class and start doing this . I had a same situation last week when I was trying to get a designer to start doing the CSS code but with the width and height he couldn't do nothing I just searched in the google and found that link above too and did the same, worked but also isn't enough. I belive the in 2.1 version of Flex this will be fixed ( I guess). Regards. On 11/2/06, Brian Deitte < [EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: Is there any thoughts on having x, y, width, and height in CSS? I find it painful to not have the values there when working with a designer and using absolute positioning. My life would be much easier if I could simply set up the Flex application on the designer's machine, point him to the CSS, and let him make design changes himself. I've read Manish's posts on this (http://mannu.livejournal.com/359634.html, http://mannu.livejournal.com/299285.html) as well as Gordon's flexcoders post where he says this is by design. I assume this is by design for performance reasons, and that the framework would be slowed down by having to look up the values continuously to check for runtime changes. So how about special-casing these four values in CSS, and allowing them to continue to be properties? -Brian -- ---------------------------- Igor Costa www.igorcosta.com __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
