Eric, I looked at the source, and it seems like your container does not support horizontalAlign="center" and verticalAlign="middle" (unless I'm missing something). Any chance of adding that support? It's the main thing keeping us with the FlowBox from FlexLib. If you're not interested in adding that support, would you accept a patch (I can't guarantee I'll have time to actually implement this, but my company is certainly interested in a better flow container)?

Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 11:36:24 -0500 Hi, I have created a flow container component that fixed a lot of the bugs that existed in the one that existed in FlexLib - you can find it at http://blog.3r1c.net/?p=89 On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 11:07 AM, Maciek Sakrejda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Jerry, check out the FlowBox container from FlexLib: http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/FlowBox/FlowBox_Sample.swf http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/ I haven't actually used it for adjusting layout when resizing: we need to handle layout of a varying set of children of different sizes. It does have some quirks, but it works reasonably well. A friend also suggested Eric Cancil's FlowContainer: http://blog.3r1c.net/?p=89 I have not tried it yet, but have been meaning to. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: Jerry DuVal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] flex version of html float? Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:21:51 -0500 I have a HBox that contains form items. When the window is resized to a smaller window flex automatically places the horizontal scroll bar. Is there any way to float the items to the next line instead of having the scroll bar. <mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Form width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:HBox> <mx:FormItem label="Field"> <mx:Text id="nameField" fontWeight="bold" text="bar"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Expression"> <mx:Text fontWeight="bold" id="expressionField" text="foo"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox> <mx:FormItem label="Column Name" width="499"> <mx:TextInput fontWeight="bold" id="caption" text="{parentDocument.field.description}" editable="true" width="355"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Add Check All Column"> <mx:CheckBox id="checkAll" enabled selected="{parentDocument.field.checkAll}"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox> <mx:FormItem label="Do Not Wrap Data"> <mx:CheckBox id="noWrap" selected="{parentDocument.field.noWrap}"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Auto Size"> <mx:CheckBox id="autosize" selected="{parentDocument.field.autosize}"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Fixed Size"> <mx:TextInput fontWeight="bold" id="size" text="{parentDocument.field.size}" editable="true" width="40"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Hidden"> <mx:CheckBox id="hidden" selected="{parentDocument.field.hidden}"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Editable"> <mx:CheckBox id="editable" change selected="{parentDocument.field.editable}"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Required"> <mx:CheckBox id="required" selected="{parentDocument.field.required}"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:HBox> </mx:Form> </mx:VBox> Jerry DuVal Pace Systems Group, Inc. 800.624.5999 www.Pace2020.com
