Container components created in Adobe Flash Professional for use in Flex are subclasses of the mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip class. You can use a subclass of ContainerMovieClip as a Flex container, it can hold children, and it can respond to events, define view states and transitions, and work with effects in the same way as can any Flex component.

A Flash container can only have a single Flex IUIComponent child. However, this child can be a Flex container which allows you to add additional children.

If your Flash container modifies the visual characteristics of the Flex components contained in it, such as changing the alpha property, you must embed the fonts used by the Flex components. This is the same requirement that you have when using the Dissolve, Fade, and Rotate effects with Flex components.

The following procedure describes the basic process for creating a Flex component in Flash Professional:

Install the Adobe Flash Workflow Integration Kit.
Create symbols for your dynamic assets in the FLA file.
Run Commands > Make Flex Container to convert your symbol to a subclass of the ContainerMovieClip class, to configure the Flash Professional publishing settings for use with Flex, and add a new symbol named FlexContentHolder to the Library. This symbol defines the content area of the container in which you can place child Flex components..
Publish your FLA file as a SWC file.
Reference the class name of your symbols in your Flex application as you would any class.
Include the SWC file in your library-path when you compile your Flex application.

For more information, see the documentation that ships with the Flex/Flash Integration Kit at http://www.adobe.com/go/flex3_cs3_swfkit.

Property Detail

content

property

content:IUIComponent

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The Flex content to display inside this container.

Typically, to add a child to a container in ActionScript, you use the Container.addChild() or Container.addChildAt() method. However, to add a child to the ContainerMovieClip.content property of a Flash container, you do not use the addChild() or addChildAt() method. Instead, you assign the child directly to the content property.

The following example assigns a container to the ContainerMovieClip.content property.

      <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
         xmlns:myComps="*">
         
         <mx:Script>

                     image1.source = "../assets/logowithtext.jpg";
                     image1.percentWidth = 80;
                     image1.percentHeight = 80;
     
                     // Define the HBox container.
                     var hb1:HBox = new HBox();
                     hb1.percentWidth = 100;
                     hb1.percentHeight = 100;
                     hb1.setStyle('borderStyle', 'solid');
                     hb1.addChild(image1);

numElements

property

numElements:int [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns 1 if there is a viewport, 0 otherwise.

Implementation
public function get numElements():int

scaleContentWhenResized

property

scaleContentWhenResized:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Whether the scale of the container due to sizing affects the scale of the flex content.

When Flash components are resized, they scale up or down to their new size. However, this means their children are also scaled up or down. By setting this flag to false, the children are inversely scaled when the container is resized.

Note: When the container is scaled direclty (through scaleX or scaleY), the content will also be scaled accordingly. This only affects scaling of the container due to sizing.

The default value is false.

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

()

method

public function addElement(element:IVisualElement):IVisualElement

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Adds a visual element to this container. The element is added after all other elements and appears top of all other elements. To add a visual element to a specific index position, use the addElementAt() method.

If you add a visual element that already has a different container as a parent, the element is removed from the other container.

Parameters

element:IVisualElement — The visual element to add as a child of this container.

Returns

IVisualElement — The element that was added.

addElementAt

()

method

public function addElementAt(element:IVisualElement, index:int):IVisualElement

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Adds a visual element to this container. The element is added at the index position specified. An index of 0 represents the first element in the display list.

If you add a visual element that already has a different container as a parent, the element is removed from the other container.

Parameters

	`element:IVisualElement` — The element to add as a child of this visual container.

	`index:int` — The index position to which the element is added. If you specify a currently occupied index position, the child that exists at that position and all higher positions are moved up one position in the child list.

Returns

IVisualElement — The element that was added.

()

method

public function getElementAt(index:int):IVisualElement

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns the viewport if there is a viewport and the index passed in is 0. Otherwise, it throws a RangeError.

Parameters

index:int — The index of the element to retrieve.

Returns

IVisualElement — The element at the specified index.

Throws

RangeError — If the index position does not exist in the child list.

getElementIndex

()

method

public function getElementIndex(element:IVisualElement):int

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns the 0 if the element passed in is the viewport. Otherwise, it throws an ArgumentError.

Parameters

element:IVisualElement — The element to identify.

Returns

int — The index position of the element to identify.

Throws

ArgumentError — If the element is not a child of this object.

removeAllElements

method

public function removeElement(element:IVisualElement):IVisualElement

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Removes the specified visual element from the child list of this container. The index positions of any elements above the element in this visual container are decreased by 1.

Parameters

element:IVisualElement — The element to be removed from the container.

Returns

IVisualElement — The element removed.

removeElementAt

()

method

public function removeElementAt(index:int):IVisualElement

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Removes a visual element from the specified index position in the container. The index positions of any elements above the element in this visual container are decreased by 1.

Parameters

index:int — The index of the element to remove.

Returns

IVisualElement — The element removed.

setElementIndex

()

method

public function setElementIndex(element:IVisualElement, index:int):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Changes the position of an existing visual element in the visual container.

When you call the setElementIndex() method and specify an index position that is already occupied, the only positions that change are those in between the elements's former and new position. All others stay the same.

If a visual element is moved to an index lower than its current index, the index of all elements in between increases by 1. If an element is moved to an index higher than its current index, the index of all elements in between decreases by 1.

Parameters

	`element:IVisualElement` — The element for which you want to change the index number.

	`index:int` — The resulting index number for the element.
