[Laszlo-user] [BULK] Re: [BULK] Having issues with pixellock? In depth example attached.

Stableborderlayout also exhibits the same issues in swf9 and DHTML while operating correctly in swf8. How do people make three piece buttons in laszlo if not this way? How to make collections of tabs - for instance - lay side by side without gaps? (that issue - using buttons to make tabs, has been provided as a screen shot attached, and are all side effects of the same issue) Anyone want to share an alternate composition technique? note that in this screen shot, as the size of the canvas changes the vertical defects you see in the tabs and in the button go away and come back on canvas size, even when the size of the child views is constant, so it is not possible to have dynamically sized buttons or components in swf9 or dhtml and a variable canvas width at the same time. Would some one care to refute that? Show a method to have have views laid out live side by side and stay that way  under a variable canvas size? It would be welcome. -jamesr P T Withington wrote: I suspect an issue with stretches vs. resources (there have been a number of bugs in that area -- not my expertise, so perhaps someone else can comment). But I also wonder why you are not using <stableborderlayout> (or your own variation on it), since that will be much more efficient than building your buttons with constraints?

An in-depth example attached -- if gmail lets the zip attachment through, you should be able to run the example easily by dropping the folder anywhere in your laszlo my-apps folder or equal. My apologies if the email does not get to the list intact. I'm trying :) The problem is summed up with a screen shot (also attached) where what you see looks good -- so long as you don't resize the window. Then you variably get this depending on whether the screen is odd/even in the x/y axis (where below, both are off) As you drag the window, the bug will become very apparent. I hope that the code is clear, and hope that someone catches something that i didn't with what should be (i think!) a common layout algorithm. Is it? is it not? Why do i get... The Weird Lines? The desired outcome is easy to guess - when the window is resized, the button should not jigsaw around, esp. since it's width and height are constant. Perhaps one of the dons of ol could have a look and see if this is a bug, a feature, or a work-around. Any further clarification will be answered asap. Thanks for taking time to look at this, as it seems to be big building block to building skinnable (not in the css sense) laszlo components. It's been driving me crazy for some time now. best, jamesr p.s. it's great to finally have a question and a good test-case for the list! overall the documentation is very good for laszlo in my experience, so my questions are usually fringe.. <pixellock.zip><scrshot.jpg>
