Width is tied to scaleX on flash.*.* objects. UIComponent breaks that dependency somewhat.
Why it moves x depends on how the other code works. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of alex Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 12:11 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Possible bug with Shape (or DisplayObject) when increasing the width (or scaleX) Just to make it short. Why when I change the width of a DisplayObject ( Shape) it changes its X coordinate ? I understand that Flex will behind the scenes change the scaleX of an object if width is changed and in certain cases scaleX changes X coordinates but I though that only if you directly change scaleX it will change X coordinate ? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "alex" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > I have a custom class that extends Shape object on the CartesianChart with DateTimeAxis . > When I increase the width of the object, after certain point it will change its x value by around > 10 . > For example object with width=1 start at x=500 i can increase it for example until > width=420 but then at width=421 it will add 10 to x and on the screen it looks like it a bit > off the tick mark .
