Hi Tom,
I added the ability to to zoom using control +/- to my app with the following
code. It doesn't properly handle setting the correct zoom level for
PopUpManager children that are created later, but that should be easy enough to
add. Hope this helps (note, mainCanvas is my top level UI container):
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp);
private function keyUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (event.ctrlKey && ( event.keyCode == Keyboard.EQUAL || event.keyCode
== Keyboard.MINUS ))
{
zoom( event.keyCode == Keyboard.EQUAL );
}
}
protected function zoom(increase:Boolean):void
{
scale(mainCanvas, increase);
var rawChildren:IChildList =
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.systemManager.rawChildren;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < rawChildren.numChildren; i++ )
{
var childObject:DisplayObject = rawChildren.getChildAt(i);
if ((childObject is UIComponent) &&
UIComponent(childObject).isPopUp)
{
scale(childObject as UIComponent, increase);
}
}
}
private function scale(target:UIComponent, increase:Boolean):void
{
var inc:Number = .1;
if (increase && target.scaleX < 2)
{
target.scaleX += inc;
target.scaleY += inc;
}
else if (!increase && target.scaleX > .5 )
{
target.scaleX -= inc;
target.scaleY -= inc;
}
}
