RE: [flexcoders] Anybody experience Child Objects, exceeding the bounds of it's Parent Container?
This hasn't happened to anybody else, ever??? -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 11:22 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Anybody experience Child Objects, exceeding the bounds of it's Parent Container? Hello All, I posted about this a couple days ago, with no response whatsoever. Let me simplify the post, and ask once again: Has anybody had a Child Object (in my case, an external SWF 2200x2000 in size), spilling over beyond the extents of it's Parent Container (in this case, a TitleWindow)? Actually, here is the hierarchy of the Controls: TitleWindow Canvas UIComponent (with embedded SWF) I have a TitleWindow, with draggable content that sits within - this content is a Vector Lake Map, in which the user can Pan Zoom. The whole point of this, is that the Window can be moved to a place on the desktop, where it doesn't overlap any other content - but can remain open, as a reference to the user. This doesn't happen all the time, but at certain Zoom Levels. Instead of the Title Window cutting off the Map in the Lower Right-Hand corner (which is the normal behavior of any container), it allows the remainder of the Map to show - thus taking up the remaining lower-right extent of the Application Window. If I manually resize the TitleWindow, it immediately triggers the Content to be clipped - and everything looks fine. Once again, the Map ONLY spills over, from 0,0 of the Title Window and down to the Right. It's as if the TitleWindow isn't aware that the Content is larger than it's own size, and forgets to Clip everything starting at the lower Right-Hand corner, and beyond. Is there anything I can do, to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance for any help or advice offered. Mike Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- See what's inside the new Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Anybody experience Child Objects, exceeding the bounds of it's Parent Container?
When this happened to me the solution was a complicated and very integrated with what I was doing. As a general piece of advice I'd call validateNow() and then scrollChildren() and see if that helps or gets you closer to a solution. - Dan Freiman On 09 Mar 2007 06:47:17 -0800, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This hasn't happened to anybody else, ever??? -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com [mailto: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 11:22 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Anybody experience Child Objects, exceeding the bounds of it's Parent Container?
