Implementation
public function get automationValue():Array

baseline:* [read-write]

The vertical distance in pixels from the top edge of the content area to the component's baseline position. If this property is set, the baseline of the component is anchored to the top edge of its content area; when its container is resized, the two edges maintain their separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get baseline():*
public function set baseline(value:any):void

baselinePosition:Number [read-only]

The y-coordinate of the baseline of the first line of text of the component.

Implementation
public function get baselinePosition():Number

bottom:* [read-write]

The vertical distance, in pixels, from the lower edge of the component to the lower edge of its content area. If this property is set, the lower edge of the component is anchored to the bottom edge of its content area; when its container is resized, the two edges maintain their separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get bottom():*
public function set bottom(value:any):void

public var boundingBoxName:String = "boundingBox"

Name of the object to use as the bounding box.

The bounding box is an object that is used by Flex to determine the size of the component. The actual content can be larger or smaller than the bounding box, but Flex uses the size of the bounding box when laying out the component. This object is optional. If omitted, the actual content size of the component is used instead.

The default value is "boundingBox".

cachePolicy:String [read-only]

Specifies the bitmap caching policy for this object. Possible values in MXML are "on", "off" and "auto" (default).

Possible values in ActionScript are UIComponentCachePolicy.ON, UIComponentCachePolicy.OFF and UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO (default).

A value of UIComponentCachePolicy.ON means that the object is always cached as a bitmap.
A value of UIComponentCachePolicy.OFF means that the object is never cached as a bitmap.
A value of UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO means that the framework uses heuristics to decide whether the object should be cached as a bitmap.

The default value is UIComponentCachePolicy.AUTO.

A flag that indicates whether the component can receive focus when selected.

As an optimization, if a child component in your component implements the IFocusManagerComponent interface, and you never want it to receive focus, you can set focusEnabled to false before calling addChild() on the child component.

This will cause the FocusManager to ignore this component and not monitor it for changes to the tabEnabled, tabChildren, and mouseFocusEnabled properties. This also means you cannot change this value after addChild() and expect the FocusManager to notice.

Note: It does not mean that you cannot give this object focus programmatically in your setFocus() method; it just tells the FocusManager to ignore this IFocusManagerComponent component in the Tab and mouse searches.

Implementation
public function get focusEnabled():Boolean
public function set focusEnabled(value:Boolean):void

focusPane:Sprite [read-write]

A single Sprite object that is shared among components and used as an overlay for drawing focus. Components share this object if their parent is a focused component, not if the component implements the IFocusManagerComponent interface.

Implementation
public function get focusPane():Sprite
public function set focusPane(value:Sprite):void

See also

mx.core.UIComponent.focusPane

public var height:Number

The height of this object, in pixels.

horizontalCenter:* [read-write]

The horizontal distance in pixels from the center of the component's content area to the center of the component. If this property is set, the center of the component will be anchored to the center of its content area; when its container is resized, the two centers maintain their horizontal separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get horizontalCenter():*
public function set horizontalCenter(value:any):void

id:String [read-write]

ID of the component. This value becomes the instance name of the object and should not contain any white space or special characters. Each component throughout an application should have a unique id.

If your application is going to be tested by third party tools, give each component a meaningful id. Testing tools use ids to represent the control in their scripts and having a meaningful name can make scripts more readable. For example, set the value of a button to submit_button rather than b1 or button1.

Implementation
public function get id():String
public function set id(value:String):void

includeInLayout:Boolean [read-write]

Specifies whether this component is included in the layout of the parent container. If true, the object is included in its parent container's layout.

The default value is true.

Implementation
public function get includeInLayout():Boolean
public function set includeInLayout(value:Boolean):void

protected var initialized:Boolean = false

A flag that determines if an object has been through all three phases of layout: commitment, measurement, and layout (provided that any were required).

Set to true by the PopUpManager to indicate that component has been popped up.

Implementation
public function get isPopUp():Boolean
public function set isPopUp(value:Boolean):void

left:* [read-write]

The horizontal distance, in pixels, from the left edge of the component's content area to the left edge of the component. If this property is set, the left edge of the component is anchored to the left edge of its content area; when its container is resized, the two edges maintain their separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation

public function set maxWidth(value:Number):void

See also

mx.core.UIComponent.maxWidth

measuredHeight:Number [read-only]

The measured height of this object.

This is typically hard-coded for graphical skins because this number is simply the number of pixels in the graphic. For code skins, it can also be hard-coded if you expect to be drawn at a certain size. If your size can change based on properties, you may want to also be an ILayoutManagerClient so a measure() method will be called at an appropriate time, giving you an opportunity to compute a measuredHeight.

Implementation
public function get measuredHeight():Number

measuredMinHeight:Number [read-write]

The default minimum height of the component, in pixels. This value is set by the measure() method.

Implementation
public function get measuredMinHeight():Number
public function set measuredMinHeight(value:Number):void

measuredMinWidth:Number [read-write]

The default minimum width of the component, in pixels. This value is set by the measure() method.

Implementation
public function get measuredMinWidth():Number
public function set measuredMinWidth(value:Number):void

measuredWidth:Number [read-only]

The measured width of this object.

This is typically hard-coded for graphical skins because this number is simply the number of pixels in the graphic. For code skins, it can also be hard-coded if you expect to be drawn at a certain size. If your size can change based on properties, you may want to also be an ILayoutManagerClient so a measure() method will be called at an appropriate time, giving you an opportunity to compute a measuredHeight.

Implementation
public function get measuredWidth():Number

minHeight:Number [read-write]

Number that specifies the minimum height of the component, in pixels, as the component's coordinates.

Implementation

Implementation
public function get numAutomationChildren():int

owner:DisplayObjectContainer [read-write]

Typically the parent container of this component. However, if this is a popup component, the owner is the component that popped it up. For example, the owner of a dropdown list of a ComboBox control is the ComboBox control itself. This property is not managed by Flex, but by each component. Therefore, if you popup a component, you should set this property accordingly.

Implementation
public function get owner():DisplayObjectContainer
public function set owner(value:DisplayObjectContainer):void

parentDocument:Object [read-only]

The document containing this component.

Implementation
public function get parentDocument():Object

Implementation
public function get percentWidth():Number
public function set percentWidth(value:Number):void

right:* [read-write]

The horizontal distance, in pixels, from the right edge of the component to the right edge of its content area. If this property is set, the right edge of the component is anchored to the right edge of its content area; when its container is resized, the two edges maintain their separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get right():*
public function set right(value:any):void

showInAutomationHierarchy:Boolean [read-write]

A flag that determines if an automation object shows in the automation hierarchy. Children of containers that are not visible in the hierarchy appear as children of the next highest visible parent. Typically containers used for layout, such as boxes and Canvas, do not appear in the hierarchy.

Some controls force their children to appear in the hierarchy when appropriate. For example a List will always force item renderers, including boxes, to appear in the hierarchy. Implementers must support setting this property to true.

Implementation
public function get showInAutomationHierarchy():Boolean
public function set showInAutomationHierarchy(value:Boolean):void

systemManager:ISystemManager [read-write]

A reference to the SystemManager object for this component.

Implementation
public function get systemManager():ISystemManager

Implementation
public function get toolTip():String
public function set toolTip(value:String):void

top:* [read-write]

The vertical distance, in pixels, from the top edge of the control's content area to the top edge of the component. If this property is set, the top edge of the component is anchored to the top edge of its content area; when its container is resized, the two edges maintain their separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get top():*

public function set tweeningProperties(value:Array):void

verticalCenter:* [read-write]

The vertical distance in pixels from the center of the component's content area to the center of the component. If this property is set, the center of the component is anchored to the center of its content area; when its container is resized, the two centers maintain their vertical separation.

This property only has an effect when used on a component in a Canvas container, or when used on a component in a Panel or Application container that has the layout property set to absolute.

The default value is undefined, which means it is not set.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

public function UIMovieClip()

Constructor.

public function createAutomationIDPart(child:IAutomationObject):Object

Returns a set of properties that identify the child within this container. These values should not change during the lifespan of the application.

Parameters

child:IAutomationObject — Child for which to provide the id.

Returns

Object — Sets of properties describing the child which can later be used to resolve the component.

public function createReferenceOnParentDocument(parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject):void

Creates an id reference to this IUIComponent object on its parent document object. This function can create multidimensional references such as b[2][4] for objects inside one or more repeaters. If the indices are null, it creates a simple non-Array reference.

Parameters

parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject — The parent of this IUIComponent object.

public function deleteReferenceOnParentDocument(parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject):void

Deletes the id reference to this IUIComponent object on its parent document object. This function can delete from multidimensional references such as b[2][4] for objects inside one or more Repeaters. If the indices are null, it deletes the simple non-Array reference.

Parameters

parentDocument:IFlexDisplayObject — The parent of this IUIComponent object.

public function drawFocus(isFocused:Boolean):void

Called by the FocusManager when the component receives focus. The component should draw or hide a graphic that indicates that the component has focus.

Parameters

protected function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void

The main function that watches our size and progesses through transitions.

Parameters

event:Event

public function executeBindings(recurse:Boolean = false):void

Executes the data bindings into this UIComponent object. Workaround for MXML container/bindings problem (177074): override Container.executeBindings() to prefer descriptor.document over parentDocument in the call to BindingManager.executeBindings(). This should always provide the correct behavior for instances created by descriptor, and will provide the original behavior for procedurally-created instances. (The bug may or may not appear in the latter case.) A more complete fix, guaranteeing correct behavior in both non-DI and reparented-component scenarios, is anticipated for updater 1.

Parameters

recurse:Boolean (default = false) — Recursively execute bindings for children of this component.

protected function findFocusCandidates(obj:DisplayObjectContainer):void

Recursively finds all children that have tabEnabled=true and adds them to the focusableObjects array.

Parameters

obj:DisplayObjectContainer

protected function focusInHandler(event:FocusEvent):void

public function resolveAutomationIDPart(criteria:Object):Array

Resolves a child by using the id provided. The id is a set of properties as provided by the createAutomationIDPart() method.

Parameters

criteria:Object — Set of properties describing the child. The criteria can contain regular expression values resulting in multiple children being matched.

Returns

Array — Array of children that matched the criteria or null if no children could not be resolved.

public function setActualSize(newWidth:Number, newHeight:Number):void

Sets the actual size of this object.

This method is mainly for use in implementing the updateDisplayList() method, which is where you compute this object's actual size based on its explicit size, parent-relative (percent) size, and measured size. You then apply this actual size to the object by calling setActualSize().

In other situations, you should be setting properties such as width, height, percentWidth, or percentHeight rather than calling this method.

Parameters

	`newWidth:Number` — The new width for this object.

	`newHeight:Number` — The new height for this object.

public function setConstraintValue(constraintName:String, value:*):void

Sets the specified constraint value.

Parameters

For more information about these parameters, see the Canvas and Panel containers and Styles Metadata AnchorStyles.

	`value:*` — The new value for the constraint.

public function setFocus():void

Called by the FocusManager when the component receives focus. The component may in turn set focus to an internal component.

public function setVisible(value:Boolean, noEvent:Boolean = false):void

Called when the visible property changes. You should set the visible property to show or hide a component instead of calling this method directly.

Parameters

	`value:Boolean` — The new value of the `visible` property. Specify `true` to show the component, and `false` to hide it.

	`noEvent:Boolean` (default = `false`) — If `true`, do not dispatch an event. If `false`, dispatch a `show` event when the component becomes visible, and a `hide` event when the component becomes invisible.

Dispatched by the drag initiator (the component that is the source of the data being dragged) when the drag operation completes, either when you drop the dragged data onto a drop target or when you end the drag-and-drop operation without performing a drop.

You can use this event to perform any final cleanup of the drag-and-drop operation. For example, if you drag a List control item from one list to another, you can delete the List control item from the source if you no longer need it.

If you call Event.preventDefault() in the event handler for the dragComplete event for a Tree control when dragging data from one Tree control to another, it prevents the drop.

The DragEvent.DRAG_COMPLETE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragComplete event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Event Object Type: mx.events.DragEvent
DragEvent.type property = mx.events.DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER

Dispatched by a component when the user moves the mouse over the component during a drag operation.

In order to be a valid drop target, you must define a handler for this event. In the handler, you can change the appearance of the drop target to provide visual feedback to the user that the component can accept the drag. For example, you could draw a border around the drop target, or give focus to the drop target.

If you want to accept the drag, you must call the DragManager.acceptDragDrop() method. If you don't call acceptDragDrop(), you will not get any of the other drag events.

The value of the action property is always DragManager.MOVE, even if you are doing a copy. This is because the dragEnter event occurs before the control recognizes that the Control key is pressed to signal a copy. The action property of the event object for the dragOver event does contain a value that signifies the type of drag operation.

You may change the type of drag action by calling the DragManager.showFeedback() method.

The DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragEnter event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value

Event Object Type: mx.events.DragEvent
DragEvent.type property = mx.events.DragEvent.DRAG_OVER

Dispatched by a component when the user moves the mouse while over the component during a drag operation.

In the handler, you can change the appearance of the drop target to provide visual feedback to the user that the component can accept the drag. For example, you could draw a border around the drop target, or give focus to the drop target.

You should handle this event to perform additional logic before allowing the drop, such as dropping data to various locations in the drop target, reading keyboard input to determine if the drag-and-drop action is a move or copy of the drag data, or providing different types of visual feedback based on the type of drag-and-drop action.

You may also change the type of drag action by changing the DragManager.showFeedback() method. The default value of the action property is DragManager.MOVE.

The DragEvent.DRAG_OVER constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragOver event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:
