I am trying to override a Button class, i have a few properties which i wish directly initialise with the mxml description of the component, like :
开发者_如何学JAVA<sl:TMyButton id="btnX" x="168" y="223" width="290" label="Button" myproperty1="10" myproperty2="101" myproperty3="4"/>
which function is triggered ( in order to override it ) when all properties with mxml description is fully initialised with their values ?
Flex components have 4 methods in protected
namespace which should be overridden to solve different tasks:
createChildren()
— calls one time to create and add subcomponents.measure()
called in process of lay outing to calculate components size.updateDisplayList()
has real component unscaled width and height as parameter. It is obvious this method is convenient for positioning of children.commitProperties()
is the method I suggest you to override in order to apply properties values which don't need component size to apply.
So in your case it can be updateDisplayList()
or commitProperties()
. I recommend you the following code snippets:
private var myproperty1Dirty:Boolean;
private var _myproperty1:String;
public function set myproperty1(value:String):void
{
if (_myproperty1 == value)
return;
_myproperty1 = value;
myproperty1Dirty = true;
// Postponed cumulative call of updateDisplayList() to place elements
invalidateDisplayList();
}
private var myproperty2Dirty:Boolean;
private var _myproperty2:String;
public function set myproperty2(value:String):void
{
if (_myproperty2 == value)
return;
_myproperty2 = value;
myproperty2Dirty = true;
// Postponed cumulative call of commitProperties() to apply property value
invalidatePropertues();
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if (myproperty1Dirty)
{
// Perform children placing which depends on myproperty1 changes
myproperty1Dirty = false;
}
}
override protected function commitProperties():void
{
super.commitProperties();
if (myproperty2Dirty)
{
// Apply changes of myproperty2
myproperty2Dirty = false;
}
}
Hope this helps!
