mask:DisplayObject
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The calling display object is masked by the specified mask object.
If, the mask display object is not on the display list, it will be added to the display list
as a child of the displayObject. The mask object itself is not drawn.
Set mask to null to remove the mask.
To use another GraphicElement as a mask, wrap the GraphicElement in a Group or other container.
Implementation public function get mask():DisplayObject
public function set mask(value:DisplayObject):void
See also
maskType:String
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The maskType defines how the mask is applied to the GraphicElement.
The possible values are MaskType.CLIP and MaskType.ALPHA.
Clip Masking
When masking in clip mode, a clipping masks is reduced to 1-bit. This means that a mask will
not affect the opacity of a pixel in the source content; it either leaves the value unmodified,
if the corresponding pixel in the mask is has a non-zero alpha value, or makes it fully
transparent, if the mask pixel value has an alpha value of zero.
When clip masking is used, only the actual path and shape vectors and fills defined by the
mask are used to determine the effect on the source content. strokes and bitmap filters
defined on the mask are ignored. Any filled region in the mask is considered filled, and renders
the source content. The type and parameters of the fill is irrelevant; a solid color fill,
gradient fill, or bitmap fill in a mask will all render the underlying source content, regardless
of the alpha values of the mask fill.
BitmapGraphics are treated as bitmap filled rectangles when used in a clipping mask. As a
result, the alpha channel of the source bitmap is irrelevant when part of a mask -- the bitmap
affects the mask in the same manner as solid filled rectangle of equivalent dimensions.
Alpha Masking
In alpha mode, the opacity of each pixel in the source content is multiplied by the opacity
of the corresponding region of the mask. i.e., a pixel in the source content with an opacity of
1 that is masked by a region of opacity of .5 will have a resulting opacity of .5. A source pixel
with an opacity of .8 masked by a region with opacity of .5 will have a resulting opacity of .4.
Conceptually, Alpha masking is equivalent to rendering the transformed mask and source content
into separate RGBA surfaces, and multiplying the alpha channel of the mask content into the alpha
channel of the source content. All of the mask content is rendered into its surface before
compositing into the source content's surface. As a result, all FXG features, such as strokes,
bitmap filters, and fill opacity will affect the final composited content.
When in alpha mode, the alpha channel of any bitmap data is composited normally into the mask
alpha channel, and will affect the final rendered content. This holds true for both BitmapGraphics
and bitmap filled shapes and paths.
The default value is MaskType.CLIP.
Implementation public function get maskType():String
public function set maskType(value:String):void
maxHeight:Number
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The maximum recommended height of the component to be considered
by the parent during layout. This value is in the
component's coordinates, in pixels. The default value of this property is
set by the component developer.
The component developer uses this property to set an upper limit on the
height of the component.
If the application developer overrides the default value of maxHeight,
the new value is stored in explicitMaxHeight. The default value of maxHeight
does not change. As a result, at layout time, if
maxHeight was explicitly set by the application developer, then the value of
explicitMaxHeight is used for the component's maximum recommended height.
If maxHeight is not set explicitly by the user, then the default value is used.
This value is used by the container in calculating
the size and position of the component.
It is not used by the component itself in determining
its default size.
Thus this property may not have any effect if parented by
Container, or containers that don't factor in
this property.
Because the value is in component coordinates,
the true maxHeight
with respect to its parent
is affected by the scaleY
property.
Some components have no theoretical limit to their height.
In those cases their maxHeight
will be set to
UIComponent.DEFAULT_MAX_HEIGHT
.
Implementation public function get maxHeight():Number
public function set maxHeight(value:Number):void
maxWidth:Number
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The maximum recommended width of the component to be considered
by the parent during layout. This value is in the
component's coordinates, in pixels. The default value of this property is
set by the component developer.
The component developer uses this property to set an upper limit on the
width of the component.
If the application developer overrides the default value of maxWidth,
the new value is stored in explicitMaxWidth. The default value of maxWidth
does not change. As a result, at layout time, if
maxWidth was explicitly set by the application developer, then the value of
explicitMaxWidth is used for the component's maximum recommended width.
If maxWidth is not set explicitly by the user, then the default value is used.
This value is used by the container in calculating
the size and position of the component.
It is not used by the component itself in determining
its default size.
Thus this property may not have any effect if parented by
Container, or containers that don't factor in
this property.
Because the value is in component coordinates,
the true maxWidth
with respect to its parent
is affected by the scaleX
property.
Some components have no theoretical limit to their width.
In those cases their maxWidth
will be set to
UIComponent.DEFAULT_MAX_WIDTH
.

minHeight:Number
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The minimum recommended height of the component to be considered
by the parent during layout. This value is in the
component's coordinates, in pixels. The default value depends on
the component's implementation.
If the application developer sets the value of minHeight,
the new value is stored in explicitMinHeight. The default value of minHeight
does not change. As a result, at layout time, if
minHeight was explicitly set by the application developer, then the value of
explicitMinHeight is used for the component's minimum recommended height.
If minHeight is not set explicitly by the application developer, then the value of
measuredMinHeight is used.
This value is used by the container in calculating
the size and position of the component.
It is not used by the component itself in determining
its default size.
Thus this property may not have any effect if parented by
Container, or containers that don't factor in
this property.
Because the value is in component coordinates,
the true minHeight
with respect to its parent
is affected by the scaleY
property.

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The minimum recommended width of the component to be considered
by the parent during layout. This value is in the
component's coordinates, in pixels. The default value depends on
the component's implementation.
If the application developer sets the value of minWidth,
the new value is stored in explicitMinWidth. The default value of minWidth
does not change. As a result, at layout time, if
minWidth was explicitly set by the application developer, then the value of
explicitMinWidth is used for the component's minimum recommended width.
If minWidth is not set explicitly by the application developer, then the value of
measuredMinWidth is used.
This value is used by the container in calculating
the size and position of the component.
It is not used by the component itself in determining
its default size.
Thus this property may not have any effect if parented by

This property is not managed by Flex, but by each component.
Therefore, if you use the PopUpManger.createPopUp()

Controls the visibility of this visual element.
If true
, the object is visible.
If an object is not visible, but the includeInLayout
property is set to true
, then the object
takes up space in the container, but is invisible.
If visible
is set to true
, the object may not
necessarily be visible due to its size and whether container clipping
is enabled.
Setting visible
to false
,
prevents the component from getting focus.

public function canShareWithNext(element:IGraphicElement):Boolean
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Return true if this IGraphicElement
is compatible and can
share display objects with the next IGraphicElement
in the sequence.
Parameters
| element:IGraphicElement — The element that comes after this element in the sequence.
|
Returns | Boolean — Returns true when this element is compatible with the previous
element in the sequence.
|
public function canShareWithPrevious(element:IGraphicElement):Boolean
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Return true if this IGraphicElement
is compatible and can
share display objects with the previous IGraphicElement
in the sequence.
Note that in certain cases the element may be passed offered the parent
Group
itself in a call to setSharedDisplayObject
.
In those cases, this method won't be called.

protected function canSkipMeasurement():Boolean
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Returns protected function commitProperties():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Processes the properties set on the element.
This is an advanced method that you might override
when creating a subclass.
You do not call this method directly.
Flex calls the commitProperties()
method when you
use the addElement()
method to add an element to the group,
or when you call the invalidateProperties()
method of the element.
Calls to the commitProperties()
method occur before calls to the
measure()
method. This lets you set property values that might
be used by the measure()
method.
Some elements have properties that
interact with each other.
It is often best at startup time to process all of these
properties at one time to avoid duplicating work.
public function createDisplayObject():DisplayObject
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Creates a new DisplayObject
where this IGraphicElement
is drawn.
Subsequent calls to the getter of the displayObject
property must
return the same display object.
After the DisplayObject
is created, the parent Group
will pass along the display objects to the rest of the elements in the sequence.
Group
will ensure that this method is called only when needed.
If the element wants to participate in the DisplayObject
sharing, then the new DisplayObject must implement IShareableDisplayObject
.
This interface is being used by the Group to manage invalidation and
redrawing of the graphic element sequence and typically is not directly
used by the Developer.
To reevaluate the shared sequences, call the parent
Group
invalidateGraphicElementSharing()
method.
To force the
Group
to remove the element's current
DisplayObject
from its display list and recalculate the
display object sharing, call the parent
Group
discardDisplayObject()
method.

|
public function invalidateDisplayList():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Calling this method results in a call to the elements's
validateDisplayList()
method
before the display list is rendered.
Subclasses should override and do their work in
updateDisplayList()
.
protected function invalidateDisplayObjectSharing():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Utility method that notifies the host that this element has changed and needs
its layer to be updated.
protected function invalidateParentSizeAndDisplayList():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Helper method to invalidate parent size and display list if
this object affects its layout (includeInLayout is true).
public function invalidateProperties():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Calling this method results in a call to the elements's
validateProperties()
method
before the display list is rendered.
Subclasses should do their work in
commitProperties()
.
public function invalidateSize():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Calling this method results in a call to the elements's
validateSize()
method
before the display list is rendered.
Subclasses should override and do their measurement in
measure()
.
By default when explicitWidth
and explicitHeight
are set, measure()
will not be called. To override this
default behavior subclasses should override skipMeasure()
.
public function localToGlobal(point:Point):Point
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Converts the point object from the object's (local) coordinates
to the Stage (global) coordinates.
This method allows you to convert any given x and y coordinates from
values that are relative to the origin (0,0) of a specific object
(local coordinates) to values that are relative to the origin
of the Stage (global coordinates).
To use this method, first create an instance of the Point class.
The x and y values that you assign represent local coordinates
because they relate to the origin of the object.
You then pass the Point instance that you created as the parameter
to the localToGlobal() method. The method returns a new Point object
with x and y values that relate to the origin of the Stage instead of
the origin of the object.
Parameters
| point:Point — The name or identifier of a point created with the Point
class, specifying the x and y coordinates as properties.
|
Returns | Point — A Point object with coordinates relative to the Stage.

protected function measure():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
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 a 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
.
public function parentChanged(value:Group):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Called by Group
when an IGraphicElement
is added to or removed from a Group
.
Developers typically never need to call this method.
Parameters
| value:Group — The parent group of this IGraphicElement .
|
protected function preferredHeightPreTransform():Number
Used for the implementation of the ILayoutElement interface,
returns the explicit of measured height pre-transform.
Returns protected function preferredWidthPreTransform():Number
Used for the implementation of the ILayoutElement interface,
returns the explicit of measured width pre-transform.
Returns public function setLayoutBoundsPosition(newBoundsX:Number, newBoundsY:Number, postLayoutTransform:Boolean = true):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the coordinates that the element uses to draw on screen.
Parameters
| newBoundsX:Number — When postLayoutTransform is true, the element is positioned
in such a way that the top-left corner of its bounding box is (x, y).
Bounding box is in element's parent coordinate space and is calculated
from the element's layout size, layout position and layout transform matrix.
Note that calls to setLayoutSize can affect the layout position, so
setLayoutPosition should be called after setLayoutSize.
|
|
| newBoundsY:Number |
|
| postLayoutTransform:Boolean (default = true )
|
public function setLayoutBoundsSize(width:Number, height:Number, postLayoutTransform:Boolean = true):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the layout size to the specified dimensions. This is the size that
the element uses to draw on screen.
If one of the dimensions is left unspecified (NaN), it's size
will be picked such that element can be optimally sized to fit the other
dimension. This is useful when the caller doesn't want to
overconstrain the element, for example when the element's width and height
are corelated (text, components with complex transforms, etc.)
If both dimensions are left unspecified, the element will have its layout size
set to its preferred size.
setLayoutSize
does not clip against minium or maximum sizes.
Note that calls to setLayoutSize can affect the layout position, so
setLayoutSize should be called before setLayoutPosition.
Parameters
| width:Number — The target width.
|
|
| height:Number — The target height.
|
|
| postLayoutTransform:Boolean (default = true ) — When postLayoutTransform is true, the specified dimensions
are those of the element's bounding box.
Bounding box is in element's parent coordinate space and is calculated
from the element's layout size, layout position and layout transform matrix.
|
public function setLayoutMatrix(value:Matrix, invalidateLayout:Boolean):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the transform Matrix that is used to calculate the component's layout
size and position relative to its siblings.
This matrix is typically defined by the
component's 2D properties such as x
, y
,
rotation
, scaleX
, scaleY
,
transformX
, and transformY
.
Some components may have additional transform properties that
are applied on top of the layout matrix to determine the final,
computed matrix. For example UIComponent
defines the offsets
.
Note that layout Matrix is factored in the getPreferredSize(),
getMinSize(), getMaxSize(), getLayoutSize() when computed in parent coordinates
as well as in getLayoutPosition() in both parent and child coordinates.
Layouts that calculate the transform matrix explicitly typically call
this method and work with sizes in child coordinates.
Layouts calling this method pass false
to invalidateLayout
so that a subsequent layout pass is not
triggered.
Developers that call this method directly typically pass true
to invalidateLayout
so that the parent container is notified that
it needs to re-layout the children.
Parameters
public function setLayoutMatrix3D(value:Matrix3D, invalidateLayout:Boolean):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the transform Matrix3D that is used to calculate the component's layout
size and position relative to its siblings.
This matrix is typically defined by the
component's transform properties such as x
, y
,
z
, rotationX
, rotationY
,
rotationZ
, scaleX
, scaleY
,
scaleZ
, transformX
, and transformY
.
Some components may have additional transform properties that
are applied on top of the layout matrix to determine the final,
computed matrix. For example UIComponent
defines the offsets
property.
Note that layout Matrix3D is factored in the getPreferredSize(),
getMinSize(), getMaxSize(), getLayoutSize() when computed in parent coordinates
as well as in getLayoutPosition() in both parent and child coordinates.
Layouts that calculate the transform matrix explicitly typically call
this method and work with sizes in child coordinates.
Layouts calling this method pass false
to invalidateLayout
so that a subsequent layout pass is not
triggered.
Developers that call this method directly typically pass true
to invalidateLayout
so that the parent container is notified that
it needs to re-layout the children.
Parameters
public function setSharedDisplayObject(sharedDisplayObject:DisplayObject):Boolean
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Determines whether this element can draw itself to the
sharedDisplayObject
of the sequence.
Typically implementers will return true
when this
IGraphicElement
can cumulatively draw in the shared
DisplayObject
graphics
property.
In all cases where this IGraphicElement
needs to set
properties on the DisplayObject
that don't apply to the
rest of the elements in the sequence this method must return false
.
Examples for such properties are rotation, scale, transform,
mask, alpha, filters, color transform, 3D, layer, etc.
When this method returns true, subsequent calls to the getter of the
displayObject
property must return the same display object.
Note that in certain cases the sharedDisplayObject
may be
the parent Group
itself. In the rest of the cases the
DisplayObject
is created by the first element in the sequence.
When this IGraphicElement
needs to rebuild its sequence,
it notifies the parent Group
by calling its
invalidateGraphicElementSharing()
method.
Parameters
Returns | Boolean — Returns true when this IGraphicElement can draw itself
to the shared DisplayObject of the sequence.

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Draws the element and/or sizes and positions its content.
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
updateDisplayList()
method when the component is added
to a group using the addElement()
method, and when the element's
invalidateDisplayList()
method is called.
This method is where you would do programmatic drawing
using methods on the elements's displayObject
such as graphics.drawRect()
.
Parameters
| unscaledWidth:Number — Specifies the width of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleX property of the component.
|
|
| unscaledHeight:Number — Specifies the height of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleY property of the component.

public function validateDisplayList():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Called by the parent Group
to redraw this element
in its displayObject
property.
If the element is the first in the sequence (displayObjectSharingMode
is set to DisplayObjectSharingMode.OWNS_SHARED_OBJECT
)
then it must clear the displayObject
graphics and set it up as necessary for drawing the rest of the elements.
The element must alway redraw even if it itself has not changed
since the last time validateDisplayList()
was called
as the parent Group
will redraw the whole sequence
if any of its elements need to be redrawn.
To ensure this method is called, notify the parent Group
by calling its invalidateGraphicElementSize()
method.
Note that this method may be called even if this element have not
notified the parent Group
.
public function validateNow():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Validates and updates the properties and layout of this object
by immediately calling validateProperties()
,
validateSize()
, and validateDisplayList()
,
if necessary.
public function validateProperties():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Used by layout logic to validate the properties of a component
by calling the commitProperties()
method.
In general, subclasses should
override the commitProperties()
method and not this method.
public function validateSize():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Called by the parent Group
to validate the size of
this element.
When the size of the element changes and is going to affect the
parent Group
layout, the implementer is responsible
for invalidating the parent's size and display list.
To ensure this method is called, notify the parent Group
by calling its invalidateGraphicElementSize()
method.
Note that this method may be called even if this element have not
notified the parent Group
.
