I have a Spark form with horizontal layout and I would like to reduce the top and bottom vertical padding.
Neighter using the paddingBottom/paddingTop on the HorizontalLayout nor using the paragraphSpaceAfter/paragraphSpaceBefore of the FormItem reduces the vertical space before and after the form.
<s:Form width="100%" height="50%" fontSize="15">
<s:layout>
<s:HorizontalLayout verticalAlign="middle" gap="3" paddingBottom="0" paddingTop="0">
</s:HorizontalLayout>
</s:layout>
<s:FormItem >
<mx:DateField id="selDateFrom" formatString="DD/MM/YYYY" selectedDate="{new Date()}">
</mx:DateField>
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem >
<mx:DateField id="selDateTo" formatString="DD/MM/YYYY" >
</mx:DateField>
</s:FormItem>
</s:Form>
Can someone help me?

I create a custom FormSkin like this one and it works:
<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="http://ns.adobe.com/flashbuilder/2009"
alpha.disabled="0.5">
[...]
<s:Group id="contentGroup" showErrorSkin="true" showErrorTip="true"
left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0">
<s:layout>
<s:FormLayout gap="7"/>
</s:layout>
</s:Group>
</s:Skin>
Thanks

In my code, I have a list made up of items from a dataprovider. The itemRenderer for the list consists of a BorderContainer with text in it. I'm mimicking a row of buttons on a scrolling list. I'd like the cursor to change to the hand cursor as it passes over the "button", but the pointer only changes in the part of the BorderContainer that isn't covered by the text.
I've set the buttonMode to true for the list, the BorderContainer, and the text, so why isn't the cursor changing when passing over the text?
This is the list code
<s:List id="listProject" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" allowMultipleSelection="false"
click="listProject_clickHandler(event)" itemRenderer="ProjectRenderer"
dataProvider="{listProjects}" creationComplete="listProject_creationCompleteHandler(event)" buttonMode="true">
And this is the renderer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
autoDrawBackground="true">
<!--<s:Label text="{data.header}"/>-->
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal"/>
<s:State name="hovered"/>
<s:State name="selected"/>
</s:states>
<!--<s:Image source.normal="{data.image1}" source.hovered="{data.image2}"/>-->
<s:BorderContainer width="200" height="50" backgroundColor="{data.color}"
borderColor.selected="#FFFFFF" borderVisible.normal="false"
borderVisible.selected="true" borderWeight.selected="4" borderStyle.selected="inset" buttonMode="true">
<s:layout>
<s:HorizontalLayout verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center"/>
</s:layout>
<mx:Text width="200" text="{data.header}" selectable="false"
color="#FFFFFF" fontSize="15" fontWeight="bold" leading="0" textAlign="center" buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
</s:ItemRenderer>
Just use a Spark Label instead of mx:Text and you'll be fine.
Also, there's some redundancy in your code. I took the liberty of trimming it down a little:
<s:BorderContainer width="200" height="50" backgroundColor="{data.color}"
borderColor.selected="#FFFFFF" borderVisible.normal="false"
borderVisible.selected="true" borderWeight.selected="4"
borderStyle.selected="inset" buttonMode="true">
<s:Label text="{data.label}" color="#FFFFFF" fontSize="15" fontWeight="bold"
horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
This will also fix that nasty jumpiness of the text when hovered or selected.
As soon as you do not need interaction with mx:Text, you can set mouseChildren property of its parent to false. It will fix the problem. Here is a short example:
<s:ItemRenderer>
<s:BorderContainer width="200" buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true" mouseChildren="false">
<mx:Text text="No many text" selectable="false" />
</s:BorderContainer>
</s:ItemRenderer>
I have an mx accordian in my application like.
<mx:VBox horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Accordion id="accSubmenu" />
</mx:VBox>
Accordian has NavigatorContents as its elements..
<s:Group clipAndEnableScrolling="true">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>
<s:Scroller id="scrlSubMenu"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
hasFocusableChildren="true">
<s:DataGroup id="lstSubMenu"
clipAndEnableScrolling="true"
hasFocusableChildren="true"
itemRenderer="renderers.SubmenuItmRndr">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout/>
</s:layout>
</s:DataGroup>
</s:Scroller>
itemRenderer is of HoverImage as below..
<s:ItemRenderer clipAndEnableScrolling="true"
autoDrawBackground="false" >
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>
<controls:HoverImage toolTip="{data.Name}" source="{'assets/' + data.IconFileName}"/>
</s:ItemRenderer>
I want keyboard navigation(Tab focus) on images inside itemRenderer..
Could anybody help me to get solution?
I want to add two icons on spark button.I am using button skin.
But the icons are not coming properly. Do anyone is having any idea?
The code is:
<s:HGroup width="100%">
<s:HGroup id="iconContainer" top="1" bottom="1" left="0" right="0"
horizontalAlign="{iconPosition}" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:Image id="iconImage" source="{icon}" />
</s:HGroup>
<s:HGroup id="decoratorContainer"
width="100%">
<s:Label id="labelDisplay"
textAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle"
maxDisplayedLines="1"
horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="1"
left="0" right="0" top="2" bottom="2">
</s:Label>
<mx:Image id="image" source="{decorator}" />
</s:HGroup>
</s:HGroup>
Give absolute width and height to 'iconImage' and 'image' OR override commitProperties by calling invalidateProperties once the image size is known by the works of {Binding}. Hope it helped.
I am creating a vertical button bar with 3 buttons.
How do I force the same width for all three buttons so it doesn't look like crap?
<s:ButtonBar x="10" y="10" dataProvider="{viewstack1}" >
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout gap="-1"/>
</s:layout>
</s:ButtonBar>
<mx:ViewStack id="viewstack1" left="115" paddingRight="0" right="0" bottom="0" top="0">
<s:NavigatorContent label="ABC Products" width="100%" height="100%"><custom:Banner width="100%" height="100%"/></s:NavigatorContent>
<s:NavigatorContent label="Btn Player" width="100%" height="100%"><custom:Player /></s:NavigatorContent>
<s:NavigatorContent label="Btn Cleaner" width="100%" height="100%"><custom:Cleaner width="100%"/></s:NavigatorContent>
</mx:ViewStack>
I had that problem too so I dropped s:VerticalLayout and used s:TileLayout with a fixed column width and it worked
<s:ButtonBar width="142" dataProvider="{almacen}" left="10" top="10">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout columnWidth="142"/>
</s:layout>
</s:ButtonBar>
Remember to define the gap, in order to avoid distance between the buttons
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout verticalGap="-1" />
</s:layout>
Without forcing the width or setting the columnWidth in tile layout you can achieve the same result using horizontalAlign property of the vertical layout.
<s:ButtonBar id="btnBarVertical1" dataProvider="{menuData}" requireSelection="true" labelField="label">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout gap="-1" horizontalAlign="justify"/>
</s:layout>
</s:ButtonBar>
For icon based button bar apply the same property with iconPlacement to top like this...
<s:ButtonBar id="btnBarVertical2" dataProvider="{menuDataWithIcon}" requireSelection="true" labelField="label"
iconField="icon" iconPlacement="top">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout gap="-1" horizontalAlign="justify"/>
</s:layout>
</s:ButtonBar>
I hope this will help for dynamic text lengths...
Happy Flexing.
Using FB4, I want to change the height of an open spark DropDownList. By default, it shows up to 6 items before scrolling. My dropdownlist contains 7 items, so I want to change the height of the open dropdown list to fit all 7 items without scrolling. As a workaround, I've changed the font size of the items so that they are smaller and all 7 fit, but the smaller font doesn't look good. Is there a way to change this height? I'm rather new to Flash, so if it's a complicated solution, please be detailed :-).
Isn't it easier if you use the property requestedRowCount of the verticalLayout?
<s:DropDownList dataProvider="{myDataProvider}">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout requestedRowCount="10"/>
</s:layout>
</s:DropDownList>
The issue is, in Flex 4, the DropDownListSkin has defined maxHeight="134" for the default skin you are probably using. That forces the scrollbar to appear if the objects stretch beyond that height. All you need to do is copy/paste their DropDownListSkin code into a custom skin, and apply that to your DropDownList via CSS:
VariableHeightDropDownListSkin

Let me know if that helps,

viatropos answer will work, however you should try and avoid overriding an entire skin as much as possible.
In this case, you will notice that in viatropos's VariableHeightDropDownListSkin code that the Group where he removed the maxHeight attribute, there is also an "id" specified.
Now look at the documentation for DropDownList and you will notice in the SkinParts section that there is a "dropDown" skin part. This is actually a property of DropDownList.
So instead of overriding the skin, you can simply use actionscript (I use UIComponent.DEFAULT_MAX_HEIGHT here, but you can use whichever you wish):
(MyDropDownList.dropDown as UIComponent).maxHeight = UIComponent.DEFAULT_MAX_HEIGHT;
Unfortunately, this is a lot more complicated in Flex 4 than it was in Flex 3:
You should be able to define a layout for the DropDownList with a higher requestedRowCount (details here), but for > 6 rows you need to do more work (Flex issue SDK-25364).
in FB3 it's rowCount cause the dropdown is a descendant of a list control. FB4 is probably similar.
myDropdown.rowCount = 7;
I usually use something more like
myDropdown.rowCount = myDataProvider.lenght();
