Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

Hi, I think I understand this now. When you set x, y on a component, you will be setting the left and top styles on the HTML element. Setting these properties will no longer set the position style (which will remain unchanged it has been set). The Container classes will no longer have a default

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

We still have to have FlexJS work on both JS and SWF sides with some compatibility. We could do this: x,y sets "native" values. Reading them back on SWF vs JS might yield different results if padding, border, and margins are set on the parent element. If you don't want your coordinates messed

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

How about this… If you are migrating from Flex 4 to FlexJS, then you: - use (x,y) to set position - do not put margins on your elements (margins weren't in Flex anyway) - Use PaddedContainer[1] whenever you need a Container. - you can safely apply padding to PaddedContainer and the child

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

I think there are a couple of things going on: 1) Some folks have asked for an API that reduces migration pain when porting existing Flex apps. 2) We want the thinnest possible overhead over hand-coded HTML/JS/CSS. These two goals are in opposition because Flex: A) didn't support margins B) had

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

I agree with this. Now that these layouts and containers are really getting used in a more practical way we can see what's going on. I was thinking that .x and .y would be "native" setters. On SWF, .x = 0 would read x back as 0 but on JS it might read back as 20, depending on padding and border

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

I think there should be two separate value sets. There should be set values and inferred values. Currently FlexJS is relying WAY too much on the browser to get and set values. Case in point: We just profiled our app and using the VerticalLayout, are relatively simple layout was taking about

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

I think we have confusion over what FlexJS is trying to deliver. If we are trying to make a new Flex that works on both HTML/JS and SWF platforms, that, to me, implies SWF is the preferred platform and we need to make HTML/JS platform conform to it. Thus the coordinate system needs to reflect

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

Isn't this what localToGlobal etc.. did for Flex? Personally I would like testButton.x to return 0 in all instances. Unless I want it's actual screen position where I use the helper functions like localToGlobal etc.. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 8:50 PM, Peter Ent wrote: > Hi, > >

[FlexJS] Coordinate Space

Hi, In an effort to clean up Container and layouts, we need to look at the coordinate system of FlexJS. Since the goal is to have the SWF side mimic the JS side, perhaps we should visit the "coordinate system" of HTML. You'll find an Apache Paste at [1] below. If you could run that and make
