[Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
I am looking for some hints at creating a layout manager in Flash which will allow me to drag and drop movieclips on stage and at the same time, reposition other movieclips.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
Seriously though, I've built something similar. An admin system for a pageable kiosk app. It lets you reposition, resize, recolor, format text etc, though the actual adding of items is set in a .NET app. The core functionality behind it is a resizer class I built, which just so happens to be a tutorial component on the macromedia exchange website. Do a search in exchange for DR-Resizer or Lee McColl and you'll find it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
Hi Lee, Thats a pretty nice component but how do I use it to manage layout? I can slace movieclips with it, but didnt quiet get how to rearrange the layout. Hope you can share something on this. --sajid On 4/26/06, Lee McColl-Sylvester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Seriously though, I've built something similar.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
The way I have mine setup is: I have a page manager that arranges components of the stage based on data from an XML document. The resizer helps update the component properties that automatically update a set of arrays that we constructed from the previously mentioned XML. On clicking a save button, the arrays are queried and a new XML is constructed which is then submitted back to the database (that the first XML was drawn from). Er, I could have probably explained this a little better, but you get the general idea :-) It should be possible to do this more simply, but mine worked, so I'm happy ;-) Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sajid Saiyed Sent: 26 April 2006 13:23 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager Hi Lee, Thats a pretty nice component but how do I use it to manage layout?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
Also keep in mind that layout management will be part of Flex 2.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Layout Manager
Sajid,
I have an AS2.0 class that is a lot simpler to use.
com.codext.managers.LayoutManager.initialize(panel1);
com.codext.managers.LayoutManager.initialize(panel2);
panel1.dock = "top";// this fills the space
panel2.dock = "top";// this fills the space under panel1 and does not
overlap
// and if you want padding
panel1.anchors = {left:50, top:50, right:50};
panel2.anchors = {left:50, top:50, right:50};
you can set anchors without using dock, but then your coordinates are
absolute and are not measured off of their docked siblings.
using these and other Code XT LayoutManager methods you can do about
everything you want where layout is concerned. Resizing is automatic as long
as you're setting the width and height rather than _width and _height.
The only issue is that this is part of a component framework I'm hoping to
release eventually so I don't want it available publically. Maybe we should
talk more about it off list. I would eventually like to get input from users
before the set is released.
