RE: [flexcoders] rotation and scrollbar generation in canvas and rotation and drag and drop

[Joan Lafferty]

Containers don't know how to account for the rotation of its children when determining things like clipping and scrollbars. There is a bug in our bugbase regarding this, but, it got pushed back on because of resources. I will put another note in the bug that a customer has requested the feature. This usually gives it more weight for future releases.   As for the other drag and drop issue, we know about this bug and it has been fixed in our next release of Flex. Sit tight and hopefully, you can get around this for a short bit.  This problem actually occurs on other elements even when they aren’t rotated.   Joan Lafferty Flex QA SDK.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tctommm Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 10:05 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] rotation and scrollbar generation in canvas and rotation and drag and drop   We are currently working on an advanced Flex 2.0 project. What we discovered working on it is that the Flex framework has some lacks regarding rotation of elements. - For example placing a rotated element in a canvas doesnt generate the scrollbars as you would expect, but only takes the width and height starting from the upper left corner to define the size of the element. - Another problem is using the implemented drag n drop with rotated elements. It seems like there is a "non dropping area" created that resembles the size of the used canvas (or other element) at the top of the application. While this area is out of screen for unrotated objects it comes into stage when rotation is applied. For example a 180 degrees rotated object can be invisibly found in the top left corner of your application. This might be a bug in our application or a flex feature, lets see... can anyone recreate these problems? do you already have a solution? we are working on it... best, Thomas also see my blog at http://bedenk.de/blog/archives/3-Flex-2.0-rotation.html __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
