I have a Canvas subclass that creates a number of SWFLoader children.
The SWFLoaders each dynamically load a PNG. When the PNG finishes
loading it is positioned via swfLoader.content.x = someNumber. The
problem is that when these PNGs hang over any edge of the Canvas
subclass they are not clipped.
Every once in a while I'll drop a dummy UIComponent child into a
canvas and set it to have an x position of -1. That will force the
canvas to clip it's children. A canvas only applies the clipping mask
if it checks its children and thinks that one of them extends beyond
the bounds. If you have a
Holy hell Batman, that worked like a charm. Thanks!

Does anyone besides me think it would be nice to be able to force content
clipping for scenarios like this? Dealing with an extra child can be a bit
of a pain sometimes, like in my current component. If anyone else thinks its
worthy I will file an enhancement request.

But then what would I do with these arcane bits of framework knowledge
I have stored up? My life would lack meaning.
But yeah, I'd vote for that enhancement request. Something like a
forceClipping boolean on all containers that support content clipping?

As long as there are bedazzlers and rhinestones in this world your life has
meaning McCune. But yea, thats about how I saw it too.
