[flexcoders] Browser window size
This is probably a simple question but is there an easy way to get the current browser window size? I have a Flex app with the application height/width set to 100%, and then I divide that up into various vbox/hbox elements. However, in some instances I create a pop-up with PopUpManager. The problem I'm having is that the pop-up might end up being too tall for the browser window size, and it ends up going off the screen without any way to scroll. There's a vertical scrollbar on the main screen, but since it's behind the pop-up there's no way to use it. In other words, the application height may be larger than the browser window height (which just engages a vertical scroll bar) but the pop- up *thinks* it can use up to the application height when in reality I want to limit it to the (current) browser window height. For now, I've set a maximum height of 400 pixels (which I know will fit on an 800x600 screen) but when the user has a higher resolution I want to be able to make the pop-up height larger than 400. Ultimately what I want to do is create a VBox pop-up and then on creationComplete check its height against the current browser window height, and if it's larger, reset the height (which turns on the vertical scroll bar) but otherwise leave the height alone (no vertical scroll bar).
Re: [flexcoders] Browser window size
Hello, You can use the flash.system.Capabilities class to find out the screen resultion of user system. For browser info, you can write a function in JavaScript and call it from flex using ExternalAPI interface. You can find an exmple of that if Flex Help, search for CapabilitiesGrabber in help. Hope this helps. Regards, Jehanzeb --- byte.sensei [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is probably a simple question but is there an easy way to get the current browser window size?

Does this do what you want (using screenManager.screen) ?
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
backgroundGradientAlphas=[1.0, 1.0]
backgroundGradientColors=[#943C3C, #943C3C] height=100%
width=100%
mx:Script

private function traceIt():void
{
var screenRect:Rectangle = systemManager.screen;
trace (ScreenTop : + screenRect.top );
trace (ScreenBottom : + screenRect.bottom);
trace (ScreenHeight : + screenRect.height);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button x=27 y=22 label=Button click=traceIt()/

This is probably a simple question but is there an easy way to get
the current browser window size?
I have a Flex app with the application height/width set to 100%, and
then I divide that up into various vbox/hbox elements. However, in
some instances I create a pop-up with PopUpManager. The problem I'm
having is that the pop-up might end up being too tall for the browser
window size, and it ends up going off the screen without any way to
scroll. There's a vertical scrollbar on the main screen, but since
it's behind the pop-up there's no way to use it.
In other words, the application height may be larger than the browser
window height (which just engages a vertical scroll bar) but the pop-
up *thinks* it can use up to the application height when in reality I
want to limit it to the (current) browser window height.
For now, I've set a maximum height of 400 pixels (which I know will
fit on an 800x600 screen) but when the user has a higher resolution I
want to be able to make the pop-up height larger than 400.
Ultimately what I want to do is create a VBox pop-up and then on
creationComplete check its height against the current browser window
height, and if it's larger, reset the height (which turns on the
vertical scroll bar) but otherwise leave the height alone (no
vertical scroll bar).
