[flexcoders] Simple Layout Question
Hey all, I just recently started working with Flex (3), and I've got a simple layout question. I've got a bunch of components inside of a vbox, and I've noticed that the vbox positions them so they are all at the same x coordinate. How can I change the x-position (e.g. the indentation) of the components? Here's some test code I've been fiddling with: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; mx:VBox backgroundColor=0xff mx:HBox backgroundColor=0x00ff00 mx:Button label=Test 1/ mx:Button label=Test 1/ mx:Button label=Test 1/ mx:Button label=Test 1/ /mx:HBox mx:Canvas backgroundColor=0xff mx:Button label=Test 2/ /mx:Canvas mx:Button label=Test 3 / /mx:VBox /mx:Application How can I make it so that the blue and red buttons are indented, say, 50 pixels? I've already tried fiddling with the 'left' and 'paddingLeft' attributes with little success... :/ Any thoughts? This has got to be possible with VBox, but I can't seem to figure it out... Thanks, -Rich

I would guess that he was extending the namespace as a custom component?

Hey guys. I have a pretty basic question. I have two custom components I made that I want to include in a tab. Each component displays a certain chart. I want to put them side by side: mx:Canvas label=Summary width=100% mx:HBox width=100% comp:CurrentSummary width=40%/ comp:ActionsTracked width=60%/ /mx:HBox /mx:Canvas Well it loads both components, however they're superimposed against each other which is actually a pretty cool effect (a bar chart super imposed over a pie chart). But not what I'm looking to do at the moment. :) Any ideas? Thanks!!! Yahoo!
