I used position:absolute on everything since pixel-level control was required for resizing. The only real difference between the SWF code and the JS code is that the JS code adds "position:absolute" to every immediate child of the DividedBoxes. I tried this out with several different types of children, and it worked for having a DataGrid as a child which is one of the most complex components we have.
There are several ways to write the JS side but since getting it work on the Flash Player without inventing a complete CSS effects or Flexbox package was a huge task, I opted to just make the AS code that worked in the Flash Player work in the browser. One could use Flexbox or CSS Grid to do a similar job along with CSS effects to do the interactive resizing. In my head I pictured that effort to probably require a completely divergent code tree. Its certainly something to look into for the future. ‹peter On 2/14/18, 8:59 AM, "Piotr Zarzycki" <piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hi Peter, > >How did you build rows/columns in HTML ? > >Thanks, >Piotr > >2018-02-14 14:56 GMT+01:00 Peter Ent <p...@adobe.com.invalid>: > >> Hi, >> >> I've just pushed a new feature branch: "feature/DividedBox" that >>contains >> a new set of Basic components: HDividedBox and VDividedBox.
