[flexcoders] Problem dynamically creating text controls

2005-11-02 Thread pasflex 
We have an application where we are dynamically creating various 
controls in containers in a viewstack.  If a text control is created 
in a non-visible layer of the viewstack, the height of the control 
is not correct.  This only happens for text controls in 1.5.  It 
does not seem to happen in 2.0.  Is this a bug or is there something 
we are missing?

Thanks

Here is some code that demonstrates the problem:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml; 
creationComplete=initLayout()
mx:Panel width=250 height=300
mx:ViewStack id=vs width=100% height=100%
mx:VBox id=vb1 width=100% 
height=100%/mx:VBox
mx:VBox id=vb2 width=100% 
height=100%/mx:VBox
/mx:ViewStack
/mx:Panel
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var textArray = new Array(The quick brown fox 
jumped over the lazy dog,

  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog,

  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog);
function initLayout():Void {
for (var i=0; itextArray.length; i++) {
vb1.createChild
(mx.controls.Text, , {text:textArray[i], width:100%});
vb2.createChild
(mx.controls.Text, , {text:textArray[i], width:100%});
}
var vb1Button = vb1.createChild
(mx.controls.Button,, {label:vbox 2, id:button1});
vb1Button.addEventListener(click, this);
var vb2Button = vb2.createChild
(mx.controls.Button,, {label:vbox 1, id:button2});
vb2Button.addEventListener(click, this);
}

function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
if( event.type == click ) {
if (event.target.id = button1) {
vs.selectedIndex = 1;
}
if (event.target.id = button2) {
vs.selectedIndex = 0;
}
}

RE: [flexcoders] Problem dynamically creating text controls

2005-11-02 Thread Matt Chotin 










What happens if you set creationPolicy=all
on the view stack? Maybe the height it messed up because the VBox was not
really ready to accept children?
