![]() | Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.effects.Move class as an alternative to this class. |
The Move effect changes the position of a component over a specified time interval. You can specify the initial position with the
xFrom
and
yFrom
values, the destination position with xTo
and yTo
, or the number of pixels to move the component
with xBy
and yBy
.
If you specify any two of the values (initial position, destination,
or amount to move), Flex calculates the third.
If you specify all three, Flex ignores the xBy
and
yBy
values.
If you specify only the xTo
and yTo
values
or the xBy
and yBy
values,
Flex sets xFrom
and yFrom
to be the object's
current position.
If you specify a Move effect for a moveEffect
trigger,
and if you do not set the six From, To, and By properties,
Flex sets them to create a smooth transition between the object's
old position and its new position.
You typically apply this effect to a target in a container
that uses absolute positioning, such as Canvas,
or one with "layout=absolute"
, such as Application or Panel.
If you apply it to a target in a container that performs automatic layout,
such as a VBox or Grid container,
the move occurs, but the next time the container updates its layout,
it moves the target back to its original position.
You can set the container's autoLayout
property to false
to disable the move back, but that disables layout for all controls in the container.

The <mx:Move>
tag
inherits all of the tag attributes of its of its superclass,
and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:Move id="ID" xFrom="val" yFrom="val" xTo="val" yTo="val" xBy="val" yBy="val" />
