Thanks for the response, Dan. That makes a lot of sense, but it would
be great if the AS3doc for "clipContent" went into that detail. I'll
check the bug database to see if it's already been logged and if not,
log it as a docs enhancement.
For anyone else who may run into this problem, I was able to use a
workaround following an approach something like this example:
<Script>
private function handleResize(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
drawingLayerMask.graphics.clear();
drawingLayerMask.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, workspace.width, workspace.height);
}
</Script>
<Canvas id="workspace" resize="handleResize(event)">
<UIComponent id="drawingLayer" mask="{drawingLayerMask}"/>
<UIComponent id="drawingLayerMask"/>
</Canvas>
Regards,
Erik
