RE: Re[2]: [flexcomponents] What is the best approach to create a custom container that will allow its children to be overlapped?

I'm not an expert on states, but using PopUpManager seems simpler and shouldn't be any slower. You could also use ToolTipManager.   - Gordon   From: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andriy Panas Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 3:00 PM To: Gordon Smith Subject: Re[2]: [flexcomponents] What is the best approach to create a custom container that will allow its children to be overlapped?   Hello Gordon, GS> You could use an HBox with a negative horizontalGap. Thanks Gordon for a new thought, I have not thought of such a use of HBox. First imaginary task solved for overlapping children in a list :) Second imaginary task: Photo thumbnails are displayed in a grid (not overlapping). Upon "rollOver" event over the thumbnail an information area is displayed very close to the photo thumbnail. Actually, this information area is displayed in a front of other photo thumbnails with a highest Z-order. I do not want to resort to PopupWindow mechanism, it is slow AFAIK and it is a PopUp in some sense, I would love to use <mx:State> for photo thumbnail here. -- Best regards, Andriy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]net __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Application development software Development software Development outsourcing software Embedded software development YAHOO!
