[flexcoders] removing component height
I have a thing I bump into from time to time and I know there justMUST be a solution for: Sometimes I want to leave a visual component on the screen but set its height to 0 explicitly, so that it takes up no space. Then later I want to say disregard my '0' and measure yourself. How do I (in essence) remove that explicit height setting and allow the component to set its own height? In action script I cannot seem to say component.height = null; component.invalidateDisplayList(); Anyone have a nice simple trick?
Re: [flexcoders] removing component height
component.explicitHeight = NaN; is there a reason why you're setting height to 0 instead of setting visible to false? - Dan Freiman On Dec 28, 2007 12:46 PM, Matt Maher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a thing I bump into from time to time and I know there justMUST be a solution for: Sometimes I want to leave a visual component on the screen but set its height to 0 explicitly, so that it takes up no space.
