Hi, A really convenient feature of flex is how you can provide either a PERCENT or ABSOLUTE measurement for WIDTH or HEIGHT of containers, and the compiler figures out which is which for you.
I have a component called "Content" which is composed of two other components called "LeftColumn" and "RightColumn". I would like for whoever is using the "Content" component to be able to supply a "leftColumnWidth" in either PERCENT or ABSOLUTE. The value would then get passed directly into the WIDTH attribute of the internal sub-component "LeftColumn". Basically, I just need to pass-through a value from one component to another. The problem is what data type to make the "leftColumnWidth" property? A STRING does not accept the absolute values, and a NUMBER does not accept percentages. The framework itself uses a compiler directive called PERCENTPROXY to solve this issue before it even gets to the data type, but is that what I should do too just to pass a value from one component to another? Thanks for reading this, Baz
