ConstraintRow class partitions an absolutely positioned container in the horizontal plane. ConstraintRow instances have 3 sizing options: fixed, percentage, and content. These options dictate the position of the constraint row, the amount of space the constraint row takes in the container, and how the constraint row deals with a change in the size of the container.

Property Detail

explicitHeight

property
explicitHeight:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number that specifies the explicit height of the ConstraintRow instance, in pixels, in the ConstraintRow instance's coordinates.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the explicitHeightChanged event.



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

height

property 
height:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number that specifies the height of the ConstraintRow instance, in pixels, in the parent's coordinates.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the heightChanged event.



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

id

property 
id:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

ID of the ConstraintRow instance. This value becomes the instance name of the constraint row and should not contain white space or special characters.



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

maxHeight

property 
maxHeight:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number that specifies the maximum height of the ConstraintRow instance, in pixels, in the ConstraintRow instance's coordinates.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the maxHeightChanged event.



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

minHeight

property 
minHeight:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number that specifies the minimum height of the ConstraintRow instance, in pixels, in the ConstraintRow instance's coordinates.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the minHeightChanged event.



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

percentHeight

property 
percentHeight:Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Number that specifies the height of a component as a percentage of its parent's size. Allowed values are 0-100. The default value is NaN. Setting the width property resets this property to NaN.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the percentHeightChanged event.



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

()Constructor
public function ConstraintRow()

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Method Detail

initialized

()method
public function initialized(document:Object, id:String):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Called automatically by the MXML compiler when the ConstraintRow instance is created using an MXML tag. If you create the constraint row through ActionScript, you must call this method passing in the MXML document and null for the id.

Parameters

document:Object — The MXML document containing this ConstraintRow.
 
id:String — Ignored.

setActualHeight

()method 
public function setActualHeight(h:Number):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Sizes the ConstraintRow

Parameters

h:Number — Height of constaint row computed during parent container processing.
