I have a canvas inside of which I have set the following constraints: <mx:constraintColumns> <mx:ConstraintColumn id="col1" width="25"/> <mx:ConstraintColumn id="col2" width="100%"/> </mx:constraintColumns> <mx:constraintRows> <mx:ConstraintRow id="row1" height="25"/> <mx:ConstraintRow id="row2" height="100%"/> <mx:ConstraintRow id="row3" height="200"/> </mx:constraintRows>
What I want is for the region col2/row2 to fill the remaining available space atfer allwoing for all the fixed regions which is why I set it to 100%, the other regions are all fixed. The problem is when I do this the content in col2/row2 extends to the bottom of the screen and has row3/col2 overlaid on top of it. It looks like when a percent constraint is set it takes all the remaining space and ignores any subsequent fixed constraints rather than occupy the space left after deducting both 200+25 which are the fixed constraints. Is that how it is supposed to work?? and ... If so how do I specify a constraint that is "all remaining space" so that it can have fixed constraints before and after it. I should add that horizontlly it appears to work fine but in that case I have fixed/percent and not fixed/percent/fixed as I have vertically. tks
