You can monitor the movement adding a listener to the ElementUI instance: BaseEventUI.BEFORE_UPDATE.

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.

Hi, I am using your BaseUI, and it is a really great tool. I have a little question:

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

Hi rodrigo,

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?

Hi, I tested your layout classes and enjoyed it very much. I decided to give it a try and build my own as3 layout manager, much inspired by your work.
Would like it if you could take a look at it and tell me what you think.

There is a ElementUI property “keepOnScreen” set by default to true, that’s why it is always visible.

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

Hi again!

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…

Hi there!!
It works just fine with pixelfonts which is great because I use them all the time! I don’t have the 1009 error in the same situation any more – I think I downloaded version 2 of the class & know I’ve downloaded version 3 and there all the examples works just fine. But I had a new 1009 error when I used a container movie that loads my main movie that in turn is using a documentclass which use your class. But that seems to have been solved as well the day after – which mean I’ve rebooted my computer.

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

Objects are aligned on whole pixel by default, there’s a rounded property on a ElementUI instance if you need to change it. It should work with pixel fonts, never tried yet though, let me know if you have any problem.

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.

Oh!

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

I get an 1009 error when I try to run your example right out of the zip…
Not sure why – since I’m no as3 wiz.

I’ve updated the source and demo, the ratio out should now work as expected with the align X and Y, thanks for the comment Alessandro.

Good point, I think it should work like that. I will have a look as soon as I get a chance.

Hey, that’s a great job!
i think i’ll definitely use it in some project soon or later.
just a question about background resizing and position:

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.

cheers
