Re: [flexcoders] Re: Rendering Problem

That's interesting that Steve mentioned autoLayout. We had a similar problem with a bunch of image rollovers that were all flickering as a group, and it turned out to be that because we hadn't told them their height or width, they were having to lay themselves out to find out - hence the flicker

[flexcoders] Auto-scrolling of selectable Text controls

If you have a Text field with selectable text, it's possible to scroll the content by clicking on the text and dragging downwards. This leaves (in one simple case I've made) the top line of text obscured, and an apparent blank line at the bottom. Is there any way to prevent this without making

[flexcoders] Restrictions on non-visual component placement

*Short version:* I have a non-visual component that I'm trying to declare in a repeater, but it seems that MXML doesn't allow this. Is this true? How do you get around this, create a visual component to wrap the non-visual component? *Long version:* I have an ActionScript non-visual component

[flexcoders] MXML Components and measure()

When is it that you have to implement measure()? If you're building components in MXML, purely out of other standard Flex components, do you ever need to bother with measure()? I'm making an MXML item renderer, and I'm running into some trouble with the DataGrid handling the variable row height

Re: [flexcoders] Defining, but not adding to parent in MXML

/private/hjd33kkztkuojpzltd2ylw You can use mx:component to do thins kind of like this, but mx:component defines classes, not interfaces, and IIRC, mxmlc is kinda picky as to where it'll let you do it. -Josh On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 10:53 AM, Michael Prescott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sweet

[flexcoders] Defining, but not adding to parent in MXML

Is it possible to define a component but somehow cause it to be omitted from the enclosing component's list of children? Essentially: mx:VBox mx:Label text=This is added as a child of the vbox, as normal./ mx:Label visible=false text=This is invisible.. but is there some way to not have it

[flexcoders] Newbie binding question

I'm having some troubles with data binding and a named event generated by a custom non-visual component. What I'm trying to do is have a property (say, 'data') which, when it changes, triggers the usual data-binding updates, but also fires an event that can be listened to in the MXML. For
