canSkipMeasurement | () | method |
override protected function canSkipMeasurement():Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Determines if the call to the measure() method can be skipped.
Boolean — Returns true when the measureSizes() method can skip the call to
the measure() method. For example this is usually true when both the explicitWidth and
explicitHeight properties are set. For paths, this is true when the bounds of the path
have not changed.
|
draw | () | method |
override protected function draw(g:Graphics):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Draw the element. This is the second of three steps taken during the drawing
process. Override this method to implement your drawing. The stroke
(and fill, if applicable) have been set in the beginDraw() method.
Your override should only contain calls to drawing methods such as
moveTo(), curveTo(), and drawRect().
Parameters
g:Graphics — The graphic element to draw.
|
measure | () | method |
override protected function measure():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Calculates the default size of the element. This is an advanced method that you might override when creating a subclass of GraphicElement.
You do not call this method directly. Flex calls the
measure() method when the element is added to an
IGraphicElementContainer container such as Group
using the addElement() method, and when the element's
invalidateSize() method is called.
By default you set both explicit height and explicit width of an element,
Flex does not call the measure() method,
even if you explicitly call the invalidateSize() method.
To override this behavior, override skipMeasure() method.
In your override of this method, you must set the
measuredWidth and measuredHeight properties
to define the default size.
You can optionally set the measuredX and
measuredY properties to define the default measured bounds
top-left corner relative to the origin of the element.
The conceptual point of measure() is for the element to
provide its own natural or intrinsic bounds as a default. Therefore, the
measuredWidth and measuredHeight properties
should be determined by factors such as:
- The amount of text the component needs to display.
- The size of a JPEG image that the component displays.
In some cases, there is no intrinsic way to determine default values.
For example, a simple GreenCircle element might simply set
measuredWidth = 100 and measuredHeight = 100 in its measure() method to
provide a reasonable default size. In other cases, such as a TextArea,
an appropriate computation (such as finding the right width and height
that would just display all the text and have the aspect ratio of a Golden Rectangle)
might be too time-consuming to be worthwhile.
The default implementation of measure()
sets the values of the measuredWidth, measuredHeight,
measuredX, and measuredY properties
to 0.
