Question

FLEX, Tile container: how to better organize the children

Answer 1

A:

1) Space between items is set by horizontalGap and verticalGap, so to remove them completely use

horizontalGap="0" verticalGap="0"

Keep in mind that you need the size of all objects to be the same for it to work properly.

2) What do you mean exactly? If you only need to change the width of the objects, what's wrong with doing btnId1.width = 200;?

3) To cancel the scroll bars use

horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"

hi thanks for reply. Point (1): I didn't solve yet. But I guess because the objects are displayed in a kinda of grid.. so it doesn't matter the gaps: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/Tile.png

Point(2): As you can see from the last picture, the items have different sizes.. so I don't want a fixed width. Is this possible in a Tile component ? If not, what should I use instead ? thanks

As far as I know, you need the objects to be in same sizes to make the gaps completely off, else it will "change" the width of all objects to the largest one.I can't see from the picture what exactly do you mean in question 2.

The children items have not the same width. Because the labels are strings of different length. So, my question is: how can I set a not-fixed width for the items ? Now in the picture, you can see they are all aligned, because the Tile component set them the same width I guess. If I use a HBox, this is not longer true (they just stay adjacent to each other, but I cannot have more than 1 row).

The items are added dynamically (and I don't know how many they are) so I cannot create more than one row with HBox, that's why I'm using a Tile component.

I see. Well, I can't think of any way better doing this.. sorry.

modz0r 2010-05-14 11:11:05

ok, I will check if I can eventually use other containers. thanks

Answer 2

A:

Did you ever find a resolution to this?

I am facing the same issue. An HBox acts exactly as I want but won't span over multiple lines.
