Where my Flex skills met my Flash skills
Coming froma Flash background I’m so used to setting dynamic x/y coordinates by hand I took the same approach in Flex. I was doing things like this.
<mx:Canvas id="mycanvas" />
<mx:Canvas id="yourcanvas" y="{mycanvas.y+mycanvas.height+10}) />+10 simply gave me a little extra cushion. I basically took the y position and height of mycanvas to figure out where the bottom of the clip was positioned. Here’s how simple it is using what’s readily available to you in Flex.
<mx:VBox>
<mx:Canvas id="mycanvas" />
<mx:Canvas id="yourcanvas" />
</mx:VBox>I know. I said “wow” too. LOL. This is just 1 example of me leaning on Flash based layouts instead of utilizing Flex’s natural ability. I have more but this is enough for now. :-)
