Re: [flexcoders] scale9grid question
scale9grid only works in clips that only contain vector shapes...so you can't have sub-movieclips or sprites. i don't really know your requirements but one solution would be to create a container clip, insert both clips as children of that one and manage both that way.

Re: [flexcoders] scale9grid question
My specific requirement is skinning the scrollbar thumb. It is drawn in Flash as a vector shape (the thumb itself) containing another shape (a rectangle) in the middle of the first one. When the scrollbar resizes (stretches), I don't want the middle shape to stretch as well, but retain its shape. Since the shapes are used for skinning and embedded in Flex, I don't have code to manage them. So I'm still at a loss on how to prevent the resizing of the inner shape.

[flexcoders] scale9grid and containers
Hi, Embeded background with scaleGridTop,left,... doesnt resize. Is there a simple way to use an image as scale9grid background of a container (hbox) ? thomas --- http://www.web-attitude.fr/ msn : thomas.parqu...@web-attitude.fr softphone : sip:webattit...@ekiga.net sip%3awebattit...@ekiga.net téléphone portable : +33601 822 056
[flexcoders] scale9Grid: What am I missing?
I have my image set up just like in the docs
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=embed_4.html,
but my image isn't actually scaling. What am I missing?
This is my code:
[Embed(source='images/window.png', scaleGridTop='40',
scaleGridBottom='185', scaleGridLeft='300', scaleGridRight='585')]
[Bindable]
private var windowImage:Class;
...
mx:Image id=backgroundImage source={windowImage} width=1000 /
The image is only 603 px wide, so it should stretch, but it's just
sitting there like a lump.
Thanks;
Amy

Hi Amy, I remember something weird about this, try loosing the apostrophe's around the numbers.

You're missing the height parameter. I think this is necessary -
either as a percent or static value - to force the image component
resize.
You can also try adding scaleContent=true to that.
cheers,

[flexcoders] scale9Grid on flex image control. does it work?
Trying this simple bit of code: var image:Image = new Image(); addChild(image); image.source = images/image.png; image.maintainAspectRatio = false; image.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(2,2,30,30); the image size is 200 x 200 pixles i also tried adding different event handlers like complete thinking the content of the image hadn't loaded yet. but it's the same error every time. ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid. at flash.display::DisplayObject/set scale9Grid(); my question is using the scale9Grid even possible on the image control?
RE: [flexcoders] scale9Grid on flex image control. does it work?
I know there are places where scale9 doesn't work. For some reason I can never remember them. However, in this case, I would try waiting for complete event then waiting for updateComplete (you'll get an updateComplete before complete too so ignore that one).

[flexcoders] scale9Grid
Hello FlexCoders!
I'm trying to make here pretty simple component which should involve
scale9Grid functionality.
I still don't feel professional in Flex UI components framework I might have
here something stupid, though i guess some of you should be able to help me.
What I am trying to make is resizable frame. Therefor I have created class
that extends UIComponent and I am creating 8 Sprite objects one for each
corner and one for each side and drawing graphics needed.
Concept seems to be alright, except that I am receiving this error, no
matter how I try:
ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.
First of all I tried to set scale9Grid to whole component, then I even tried
to create container Sprite in which i placed all other Sprites and apply
scale9Grid to that object but still same.
Structure of my class is like this:
override protected function createChildren():void {
//create all Sprites, add subsprites to container Sprite, add container
Sprite to UIComponent display list
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
// call function that draws graphics and set scale9Grid property
}
I guess at that point I am setting scale9Grid it already should be perfectly
fine, and component should be initialized.
Or am i missing something here?
Any help will be appreciated.
Janis
Re: [flexcoders] scale9Grid
It sounds like you're creating a custom scale9 which isn't necessary.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_skins_07.html (best article
yet for skinning; that I've read, at least)
That page shows you how to use CSS to utilize scale9. Hope it helps...

Re: [flexcoders] scale9Grid
Thanks for reply, but i guess that's not exactly what I need.
I'm making resize frame, so I just need to stick 4 corners in they positions
and sides at full height. So this is not exactly skinning thing.
And i don't think this is custom scale9, custom would be if I would resize
all objects scriptically within resize handler which is other option.
All I am trying to do is just apply Rectangle to scale9Grid property, not
big deal. but it doesn't work somehow.
