Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 layout documentation for spark ActionScript components
I may not be understanding your issue. I’m pretty sure our SkinnableContainers delegate their assigned layouts to the contentGroup because the contentGroup’s measurements affect the size given to it by its parent and the eventual call to updateDisplayList. If you subclass updateDisplayList in the SkinnableComponent I don’t see how the assigned layout will know that its measurement is not right. One way to encapsulate the measurement and layout logic together is to create a custom layout. I suppose you could also just override measure() in the component as well.

When a Group is using a BasicLayout contentWidth and contentHeight should be equal with width and height, if clipping is not enabled and no values for width or height are set explicitly.

I want to initialize the components in MXML and size and position the children in the component's (a component's skin) updateDisplayList, although this might be a bit of an uncommon approach. I was implementing the positioning via UIComponent.move, which i realized was the wrong approach. After just setting the x and y properties, i did some research and stumbled across the ILayoutElement and its methods like setLayoutBoundsPosition and corresponding methods to modify the skin's display list. But somehow the group, which contains the children, does not propagate its new size up to its parent. I use the updateComplete event to invalidate the group's size and force the layout to be calculated properly a last time. The view looks as expected. But i don't think that invalidating a component a last time after an updateComplete event was dispatched is wrong. Now, what is the right approach for the following task: implementing a skinnable component and a corresponding skin. The skin creates the skin parts in MXML in a Group (id=contentGroup) but the layout is calculated within the skin's updateDisplayList method. I only found one useful article on the web, which is not really a lot of information at all (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/spark_layouts_print.html).

First off, you should download the source from SVN and compile it yourself. Once you do that you will notice immediately that the example posted in the wiki does not include the files in the correct path. You need to change the xmlns in the example from: com.flashmattic.framework.wizard.* to: com.flashmattic.flashmatticomponents.framework.wizard.* caveat: I have not used this library.

Re: [flexcoders] Has the Flex 4 component architecture changed much from Flex 3?
It became more customizable in terms of skinning, the component rendering now is a different concept (you are suggested to have each component as a two-complements, the logic and the representation), so that representation may be changed w/o affecting the logic. It will also enable in certain situations a virtual layout, where some components will be able to share the canvas so to reduce the number of display objects actually created. However, the features side overweight the optimization side, so, overall the components became bigger in size, as well as the framework itself grew in size significantly. Most important change regarding the size and visualization is that new components use TLF for text rendering and UIComponents for skinning. The states have been given more attention and this has also reflected on MXML language in that now it has special syntax for addressing states. Flex CSS acquired namespaces, although it still seems like work in the progress. Flex compiler now can compile native graphics from textual format - GFX, although a nice feature, still requires some tuning until it gets really useful. Well, this is what I could remember at the moment.

[flexcoders] Flex 4 Spark HSlider ThumbSkin with ellipses?
Hi. I am having trouble locating the HSlider Skin classes (for Flex 4 Spark component) that use an ellipse for the thumb. All the classes I find in the SDK source seem to be using rects?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Possible to capture the console log and act on it?
Not sure if this will work but you can try to define a top-level package function with the name trace() - I never tried it, chances are this won't work though :) Another thing, if it's an AS2 SWF you can compile with MTASC and specify your own function for trace. I haven't tried this, but maybe if you redefine the trace() in HaXe, then it will override the default tracing method... I also think that in AS2 you could redefine it through AsNative. But I'm sure that other than that you cannot read from the output stream of another SWF with SWF.
