The ButtonBarHorizontalLayout class is a layout specifically designed for the Spark ButtonBar skins. The layout lays out the children horizontally, left to right.

The layout attempts to size all children to their preferred size. If there is enough space, each child is set to its preferred size, plus any excess space evenly distributed among the children.

If there is not enough space for all the children to be sized to their preferred size, then the children that are smaller than the average width are allocated their preferred size and the rest of the elements are reduced equally.

All children are set to the height of the parent.

		addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener receives notification of an event.	OnDemandEventDispatcher
		calculateDropLocation(dragEvent:DragEvent):DropLocation Calculates the drop location in the data provider of the drop target for the specified dragEvent.	LayoutBase
		clearVirtualLayoutCache():void When useVirtualLayout is true, this method can be used by the layout target to clear cached layout information when the target changes.	LayoutBase
		dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean Dispatches an event into the event flow.	OnDemandEventDispatcher
		elementAdded(index:int):void Called by the target after a layout element has been added and before the target's size and display list are validated.	LayoutBase
		elementRemoved(index:int):void This method must is called by the target after a layout element has been removed and before the target's size and display list are validated.	LayoutBase
		getElementBounds(index:int):Rectangle Returns the specified element's layout bounds as a Rectangle or null if the index is invalid, the corresponding element is null, includeInLayout=false, or if this layout's target property is null.	LayoutBase
		getHorizontalScrollPositionDelta(navigationUnit:uint):Number Returns the change to the horizontal scroll position to handle different scrolling options.	LayoutBase
		getNavigationDestinationIndex(currentIndex:int, navigationUnit:uint, arrowKeysWrapFocus:Boolean):int Delegation method that determines which item to navigate to based on the current item in focus and user input in terms of NavigationUnit.	LayoutBase
		getScrollPositionDeltaToElement(index:int):Point Computes the verticalScrollPosition and horizontalScrollPosition deltas needed to scroll the element at the specified index into view.	LayoutBase
		getVerticalScrollPositionDelta(navigationUnit:uint):Number Returns the change to the vertical scroll position to handle different scrolling options.	LayoutBase
		hasEventListener(type:String):Boolean Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type of event.	OnDemandEventDispatcher
		hasOwnProperty(name:String):Boolean Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined.	Object
		hideDropIndicator():void Hides the previously shown drop indicator, created by the showDropIndicator() method, removes it from the display list and also stops the drag scrolling.	LayoutBase
		isPrototypeOf(theClass:Object):Boolean Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified as the parameter.	Object
		measure():void Measures the target's default size based on its content, and optionally measures the target's default minimum size.	LayoutBase
		propertyIsEnumerable(name:String):Boolean Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable.	Object
		removeEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false):void Removes a listener from the EventDispatcher object.	OnDemandEventDispatcher

		showDropIndicator(dropLocation:DropLocation):void Sizes, positions and parents the drop indicator based on the specified drop location.	LayoutBase
		toLocaleString():String Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions.	Object
		toString():String Returns the string representation of the specified object.	Object
		updateDisplayList(width:Number, height:Number):void Sizes and positions the target's elements.	LayoutBase
		updateScrollRect(w:Number, h:Number):void Called by the target at the end of its updateDisplayList to have the layout update its scrollRect.	LayoutBase
		valueOf():Object Returns the primitive value of the specified object.	Object
		willTrigger(type:String):Boolean Checks whether an event listener is registered with this EventDispatcher object or any of its ancestors for the specified event type.	OnDemandEventDispatcher

Property Detail

gap

property

gap:int

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The horizontal space between layout elements. Note that the gap is only applied between layout elements, so if there's just one element, the gap has no effect on the layout.

The default value is 0.

Implementation
public function get gap():int
public function set gap(value:int):void
