Perhaps I am not understanding this. You create a control component extending UIBase. You create your view bead extending AbsolutePositioningViewBase. This bead makes sure that the strand/host has position:relative set.
So how do you set position:absolute on each of the control's parts? Setting part.x and part.y won't be enough. You still need set part.style.position = "absolute". I don't think that will translate over to the HTML side and will not be useful to Flash. ‹peter On 4/25/17, 2:08 PM, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > >On 4/25/17, 10:55 AM, "yishayw" <yishayj...@hotmail.com> wrote: > >>App devs may want to write custom controls and would expect flash and js >>behaviour to be the same.
