initialized:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A flag that determines if an object has been through all three phases of layout: commitment, measurement, and layout (provided that any were required).
Implementation
public function get initialized():Boolean public function set initialized(value:Boolean):voidmeasuredHeight | property |
measuredHeight:Number [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The measured height of this object. This should be overridden by subclasses to return the preferred height for the skin.
Implementation
public function get measuredHeight():NumbermeasuredWidth | property |
measuredWidth:Number [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The measured width of this object. This should be overridden by subclasses to return the preferred width for the skin.
Implementation
public function get measuredWidth():NumbernestLevel | property |
nestLevel:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Depth of this object in the containment hierarchy. This number is used by the measurement and layout code. The value is 0 if this component is not on the DisplayList.
Implementation
public function get nestLevel():int public function set nestLevel(value:int):voidprocessedDescriptors | property |
processedDescriptors:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Set to true after immediate or deferred child creation,
depending on which one happens. For a Container object, it is set
to true at the end of
the createComponentsFromDescriptors() method,
meaning after the Container object creates its children from its child descriptors.
For example, if an Accordion container uses deferred instantiation,
the processedDescriptors property for the second pane of
the Accordion container does not become true until after
the user navigates to that pane and the pane creates its children.
But, if the Accordion had set the creationPolicy property
to "all", the processedDescriptors property
for its second pane is set to true during application startup.
For classes that are not containers, which do not have descriptors,
it is set to true after the createChildren()
method creates any internal component children.
Implementation
public function get processedDescriptors():Boolean public function set processedDescriptors(value:Boolean):voidstyleName | property |
styleName:Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

drawRoundRect | () | method |
protected function drawRoundRect(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number, cornerRadius:Object = null, color:Object = null, alpha:Object = null, gradientMatrix:Matrix = null, gradientType:String = "linear", gradientRatios:Array = null, hole:Object = null):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Programatically draws a rectangle into this skin's Graphics object.
The rectangle can have rounded corners. Its edges are stroked with the current line style of the Graphics object. It can have a solid color fill, a gradient fill, or no fill. A solid fill can have an alpha transparency. A gradient fill can be linear or radial. You can specify up to 15 colors and alpha values at specified points along the gradient, and you can specify a rotation angle or transformation matrix for the gradient. Finally, the rectangle can have a rounded rectangular hole carved out of it.
This versatile rectangle-drawing routine is used by many skins.
It calls the drawRect() or
drawRoundRect()
methods (in the flash.display.Graphics class) to draw into this
skin's Graphics object.
Parameters
x:Number — Horizontal position of upper-left corner
of rectangle within this skin.
| |
y:Number — Vertical position of upper-left corner
of rectangle within this skin.
| |
width:Number — Width of rectangle, in pixels.
| |
height:Number — Height of rectangle, in pixels.
| |
cornerRadius:Object (default = null)null, a Number, or an Object.
If it is null, it specifies that the corners should be square
rather than rounded.
If it is a Number, it specifies the same radius, in pixels,
for all four corners.
If it is an Object, it should have properties named
tl, tr, bl, and
br, whose values are Numbers specifying
the radius, in pixels, for the top left, top right,
bottom left, and bottom right corners.
For example, you can pass a plain Object such as
{ tl: 5, tr: 5, bl: 0, br: 0 }.
The default value is null (square corners).
| |
color:Object (default = null)null, a uint, or an Array.
If it is null, the rectangle not filled.
If it is a uint, it specifies an RGB fill color.
For example, pass 0xFF0000 to fill with red.
If it is an Array, it should contain uints
specifying the gradient colors.
For example, pass [ 0xFF0000, 0xFFFF00, 0x0000FF ]
to fill with a red-to-yellow-to-blue gradient.
You can specify up to 15 colors in the gradient.
The default value is null (no fill).
| |
alpha:Object (default = null)color is null.
If color is a uint specifying an RGB fill color,
then alpha should be a Number specifying
the transparency of the fill, where 0.0 is completely transparent
and 1.0 is completely opaque.
You can also pass null instead of 1.0 in this case
to specify complete opaqueness.
If color is an Array specifying gradient colors,
then alpha should be an Array of Numbers, of the
same length, that specifies the corresponding alpha values
for the gradient.
In this case, the default value is null (completely opaque).
| |
gradientMatrix:Matrix (default = null)horizontalGradientMatrix(),
verticalGradientMatrix(), and
rotatedGradientMatrix() can be used to create the value for
this parameter.
| |
gradientType:String (default = "linear")GradientType.LINEAR or GradientType.RADIAL.
(The GradientType class is in the package flash.display.)
| |
gradientRatios:Array (default = null)color parameter.
Each value defines the percentage of the width where the color is
sampled at 100%. The value 0 represents the left-hand position in
the gradient box, and 255 represents the right-hand position in the
gradient box.
| |
hole:Object (default = null) |

| |
width:Number — The width of the gradient.

invalidateDisplayList | () | method |
public function invalidateDisplayList():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Marks a component so that its updateDisplayList()
method gets called during a later screen update.
Invalidation is a useful mechanism for eliminating duplicate work by delaying processing of changes to a component until a later screen update. For example, if you want to change the width and height, it would be wasteful to update the component immediately after you change the width and then update again with the new height. It is more efficient to change both properties and then render the component with its new size once.
Invalidation methods rarely get called. In general, setting a property on a component automatically calls the appropriate invalidation method.
invalidateProperties | () | method |
public function invalidateProperties():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Calling this method results in a call to the component's
validateProperties() method
before the display list is rendered.
For components that extend UIComponent, this implies
that commitProperties() is called.
invalidateSize | () | method |
public function invalidateSize():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Calling this method results in a call to the component's
validateSize() method
before the display list is rendered.
For components that extend UIComponent, this implies
that measure() is called, unless the component
has both explicitWidth and explicitHeight
set.

public function move(x:Number, y:Number):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |

protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
