hello once again, i have something like this:
<mx:HDividedBox width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Panel id="panel1" width="65%" height="100%" /> <mx:Panel id="panel2" width="15%" height="100%" /> </mx:HDividedBox> where the panels contain other components etc. when i drag the divider of the HDividedBox, i need the panels to resize accordingly... (um, yes, there is a reason why the widths are only 80% total :) ) anyway, when i do drag the divider, and i resize the component i added dynamically to panel1, it still sees the original dimensions of panel1... say: initial state ---------------------------- | | | | | | | panel1 | panel2 | | --------- | | | | comp1 || | | --------- | | ---------------------------- then i resize panel 1 to: ---------------------------- | | | | | | | panel1 | panel2 | | --------- | | | | comp1 | | | | --------- | | ---------------------------- then, if i drag comp1 to resize: ---------------------------- | x | | | x | | | panel1 x | panel2 | | ----------x | | | | comp1 x | | | ----------x | | | xxxxxxxxxxx | | ---------------------------- scrollbars (represented by the x's) appear at the x and y coordinates of the initial state for panel1... when i debugged, i saw that the size does change... so i tried reassigning that to the size of panel1 and panel2 (via simple assignment, via dividerRelease, via callLater, etc.) and even tried using the validate methods... the scrollbars still appear... i'm pretty sure i'm missing something and doing things wrong... i would really appreciate the help! :) i just need the child to follow the parent's dimensions... thank you so much...
