Moving more than one divider at a time in HDividedBox

Question

I'm trying to have a minimap display with a draggable viewport below a chart. I essentially have this to control the viewport of the chart:

<mx:annotationElements>
 <mx:HDividedBox id="dividedBox" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" width="100%" height="100%" liveDragging="true" borderSides="bottom top">
     <mx:Canvas id="leftBox" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" backgroundAlpha="0.5" width="50%" height="100%" borderColor="#333333" borderThickness="1" borderStyle="solid" borderSides="top right bottom" />
     <mx:Canvas id="centerBox" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" backgroundAlpha="0" width="50%" height="100%" buttonMode="true" minWidth="100" mouseDown="rangeWindowMouseHandler(event);" mouseUp="rangeWindowMouseHandler(event);" mouseMove="rangeWindowMouseHandler(event);" />
     <mx:Canvas id="rightBox" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" backgroundAlpha="0.5" width="0%" height="100%" borderColor="#333333" borderThickness="1" borderStyle="solid" borderSides="top left bottom" />
  </mx:HDividedBox>
</mx:annotationElements>

With the following script:

private function rangeWindowMouseHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { 
    if(event.target === centerBox) {  
     var coords:Object = rangeDragCoordinates; 

     switch(event.type.toLowerCase()) {
      case 'mousedown':
       rangeDrag = true;
       break;
      case 'mouseup':
       rangeDrag = false;       
       break;
      case 'mousemove':           
       if(rangeDrag) {        
        var xDiff:Number = -(coords.x - event.stageX) * 4.0;

        for(var i:Number = 0; i < dividedBox.numDividers; i++) {         
         dividedBox.moveDivider(i, xDiff);
        }  

       }
       break;
     }

     coords.x = event.stageX;
     coords.y = event.stageY;
    }
   } 

Problem is, only one divider actually moves at a time. I found that if I set a timeout of about 50ms before moving the next divider that both dividers move. However, this seems like a rather awkward way to approach this and is error prone.

Anyone know if it's possible to move two dividers in a HDividedBox simultaneously or should I be taking another approach?

Answer 1

Ended up needing to call the updates on the other divider(s) using callLater rather than calling it immediately.
