How can i build an app with Flash Builder that auto adjust the size of each item

Question

In Flash Builder does there exist some property that works similar to WRAP_CONTENT, FILL_PARENT and MATCH_PARENT of Android?

Answer 1

Flash builder does not have such properties as such, and Flex containers typically achieve this by using percentages for the width and height attributes. For example:

<s:Group width="100%" height="100%">
    <s:Rect width="50%" height="100%">
        <s:fill>
            <s:SolidColor color="0xff6600"/>
        </s:fill>
    </s:Rect>
</s:Group>

will create a container of width 100% (respective to it's parent) and height 100%, and the orange rectangle within this container will be 50% of it's parent's width, and height 100%.

So, if the container is 500px, the orange rectangle will be 250px (50%) of its width.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
