I’m using baseUI v4 Hbox for a control bar of a video player and need to have a few buttons on the left and some on the right with a variable spacer between the two sides.
I have a flex background and it’s my first full AS3 project (without flex SDK). With flex,I’ll try to make something like this :

Can I do that with baseUI V4?
I see a Spacer class in the V3. Should I downgrade to this version to achieve this?

Thanks and sorry for my poor english

Is there a better way to do this out of the box? Or, if not, have others requested a convenience method for doing this, or even for setting the width and height to the contents size on refresh? (maybe in this case one might pass Number.NaN to the constructor to indicate a width or height that is automagically set when calling refresh()).

Other than that, works great so far — I was using the Yahoo Astra classes for this kind of layout before, but it was much clunkier…

Thanks!

did you remove the scrollpane in V4? I just want to create a text field with some custom scroll bars. However in V3 it seemed possibel.

And what do you mean from the “directory”? If I remember well you should be able to just compile the FLA in the zip.

StartCommand.as, Line 65 – 1120: Access of undefined property soma.
ObjectPanel.as, Line 421 – Warning: 3590: void used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression will be type coerced to Boolean.

And a couple others. Am I missing the framework somehow?

Great job.

i was looking for a method in the ElementUI instance, not in the BaseEventUI … because i didnt find any i was removing and adding the elemenst from the BaseUI when i reach a X position … jajajaja. i was working fine too, but … it wasn’t the way

Good tool, Romu, it works really good and the performance its pretty cool too.

Thanks

Romu

thanks, mate

I ll try to use your advise

Then stop the propagation of the event when you reach a position, or modify the properties (property “properties” of the event).

If you like, follow the blog in the next, I’ll release a beta of the version 4, completely rewritten with a lot of improvements.

Can i set borders around liquid objects (ElementUI’s) , so when they reach that border, they stop moving?

It looks good, can we see a bit of code?

My only worry is that you can only extends DisplayObject, I guess in some cases it won’t be possible?

Interesting approach with UIComponent anyway, is that tight with the Flash IDE (and components draggable to the stage) or easy to use with the Flex SDK and only actionscript?

To animate it, you’ll have to update an ElementUI property, not the DisplayObject property. If you want your element scrolling from top to bottom you can tween the property y, top or bottom. If you use the y property, it has to be the ElementUI y property.

var el:ElementUI = baseUI.add(mySprite);
and then tween el.y

Should work.

I think I’m going to open a forum, as the comments are not really a great tools to talk and debug

I have a question. I have a header that is stretching to a 100% width. Now I would like it to animate in so that is comes in from the top – kind of like falling down to it’s position. I use Tweener for animations. The thing is that I don’t really understand how the alignments in this case seems to be working. Eventhough I’ve moved it off stage creating a negative y value as a start it still pops to the top of the screen fully visible. I solved this by moving the reg. point. But once the animation is done & I resize the browser it moves back to it’s original position & not the “new” position. How would you solve this? Is there a way to update to the new position – I will have lots scenarios where you have objects on stage coming in from a different position than the position they will align to… I’ve looked in the docs & tried the refresh & some other ones with no luck…

Niklas

Thanks for a superb class!! Keep up the great work. I’ve already using it in a project.

What are you trying to “run” (you mean compile, or launch?) to get a 1009 error? I’ve downloaded it and didn’t find any. Send me an email from the contact page describing me what you do. If you still have this error, I’ll try to reproduce it.

Romu

And I wonder if this class support using pixel fonts. Does it keep aligned object on whole pixels?

Niklas

Niklas

When the background resize is set to “ratio out” and vertical align is set to “bottom” i think it would be more correct if the bottom border of the image remain visible and the top goes out of the stage, don’t you think? same thing applies, for the right border, when horizontal alignment is set to right.
