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.

                     // Define the Image control.
                     var image1:Image = new Image();
                     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');

                     pFrame.content = hb1;
                 }

Returns 1 if there is a viewport, 0 otherwise.

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.

Constructor

Any time a display object gets added, let's see if this is a child that belongs to use and needs to be initialized. Also if it is the contentHolder, let's stuff the content down into it.

We only need this method if the child gets added after we've already been initialized.

Parameters

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

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

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

Parameters

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

Parameters

Removes all visual elements from the container.

Any time a display object gets removed, let's see if this child is the contentHolder. If it is, let's null out our reference to _contentHolder.

Parameters

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

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

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

Swaps the index of the two specified visual elements. All other elements remain in the same index position.

Parameters

Swaps the visual elements at the two specified index positions in the container. All other visual elements remain in the same index position.
