[flexcoders] Re: Finding out the size of a component when everything is relative?

2008-10-28 Thread Libby
actually the canvas is wrapped because the screen is too small (not 
mazimized). I need to know how much real estate the wrapped canvas is 
occupying. So far I can'r find any evidence internally that it is 
wrapped. I need to know the actual x,y of the lowest corner of it I 
guess. But how?

 Hi,
 The properties with $ signs mean they are wrapped and mx_internal. 
The
 $height and $width are the actual Flash Player version of height 
and width.
 
 At what point are you trying to get the height and width? Do you 
know for
 sure the canvas has children and has been measured and updated?
 
 If you can see the canvas (with children), there is no way the 
width and
 height will be zero. The borderColor property help with debugging to
 actually see the canvas if it has no borderStyle, set to solid.

  At run time I am trying to find out if user has expanded a canvas 
or
  not. When I query the component or its parents, I always get the
  original size, x  y = 0, etc. In the debugger I can see $height 
and
  other $variables which appear to contain the correct values, but
  apparently this are a private property. What am I missing here?
 
  Thanks,

 You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the

Hi,
Have you tried looking at the measuredWidth and measuredHeight properties of
both?
