RE: [flexcoders] AutoWidth/AutoHeight?
Hi scott,
as a matter of course, I have subclassed all the tags.
That way, when any defaults or behavioursirritate me,
I have a place to fix them.

AutoWidth/AutoHeight?
I've found that i've been constantly typing width="100%"
height="100%"and so on for containers within containers and what not, and
havefound it to be tedious task.The thing is though, sometimes i
want width="100%" but height to bedefault (ie whatever the height of the
movieclip in question)but most of the time i've wanted 100% for both
metrics for a typical container.To combat this i put together a buch of
custom MXML components thatsimply use the MX built-in ones, but on
initialize they simply setupsome default settings (margins, width/height
etc)At the same time i have an attribute like autoHeight=false|true
whichwill set the height to 100% or don't automatically define the
heightso the code looks like:public var autoHeight:Boolean =
true;function autoLayout()
{ if(autoHeight)
{ height =
height || "100%";
}}then when i want to use an autoLayout container i would do
this:inco:VBox//... Stuff
here./inco:VBoxNow, does anyone else do something
similiar? or have found it arepetitive task? have i overlooked an attribute
setting somewhere - (Ihad thought of using CSS but thats not as agile as my
autoLayoutcapabilities)-- Regards,Scott Barneshttp://www.mossyblog.comhttp://www.flexcoder.com (Coming

Re: [flexcoders] AutoWidth/AutoHeight?
Your not alone, but extending every component for the sake of defaulting all
containers to 100% seems mega-bleh. I wish they'd default to that instead.
