Inheritance | Tile Container UIComponent FlexSprite flash.display.Sprite |
tileWidth
and tileHeight
properties,
or let the Tile container determine the cell size
based on the largest child.
A Tile container's direction
property
determines whether its cells are laid out horizontally or
vertically, beginning from the upper-left corner of the
Tile container.
A Tile container has the following default sizing characteristics:
Characteristic | Description |
---|---|
Direction | horizontal |
Default size of all cells | Height is the default or explicit height of the tallest child. Width is the default or explicit width of the widest child. All cells have the same default size. |
Default size of Tile container | Flex computes the square root of the number of children, and rounds up to the nearest
integer. For example, if there are 26 children, the square root is 5.1, which is rounded up to 6.
Flex then lays out the Tile container in a 6 by 6 grid. Default height of the Tile container is equal to (tile cell default height) x (rounded square root of the number of children), plus any gaps between children and any padding. Default width is equal to (tile cell default width) x (rounded square root of the number of children), plus any gaps between children and any padding. |
Minimum size of Tile container | The default size of a single cell. Flex always allocates enough space to display at least one cell. |
Default padding | 0 pixels for the top, bottom, left, and right values. |
The <mx:Tile>
tag inherits all of the tag attributes
of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:Tile Properties direction="horizontal|vertical" tileHeight="NaN" tileWidth="NaN" Sttles horizontalAlign="left|center|right" horizontalGap="8" paddingBottom="0" paddingTop="0" verticalAlign="top|middle|bottom" verticalGap="6" > ... child tags ... </mx:Tile>

direction | property |
direction:String
[read-write]
Determines how children are placed in the container.
Possible MXML values are "horizontal"
and
"vertical"
.
In ActionScript, you can set the direction using the values
TileDirection.HORIZONTAL or TileDirection.VERTICAL.
The default value is "horizontal"
.
(If the container is a Legend container, which is a subclass of Tile,
the default value is "vertical"
.)
The first child is always placed at the upper-left of the
Tile container.
If the direction
is "horizontal"
,
the children are placed left-to-right in the topmost row,
and then left-to-right in the second row, and so on.
If the value is "vertical"
, the children are placed
top-to-bottom in the leftmost column, and then top-to-bottom
in the second column, and so on.
The default value is "horizontal"
.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.

tileHeight | property |
tileHeight:Number
[read-write]
Height of each tile cell, in pixels.
If this property is NaN
, the default, the height
of each cell is determined by the height of the tallest child.
If you set this property, the specified value overrides
this calculation.
The default value is NaN
.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
Implementation public function get tileHeight():Number
public function set tileHeight(value:Number):void
tileWidth | property |
tileWidth:Number
[read-write]
Width of each tile cell, in pixels.
If this property is NaN
, the defualt, the width
of each cell is determined by the width of the widest child.
If you set this property, the specified value overrides
this calculation.

Tile | () | constructor |
public function Tile()
Constructor.
measure | () | method |
protected override function measure():void
Calculates the default minimum and maximum sizes of the
Tile container.
For more information about the measure()
method,
see the UIComponent.measure()
method.
This method first calculates the size of each tile cell.
For a description of how the cell size is determined, see the
tileWidth
and tileHeight
properties.
The measured size of a Tile container with children is sufficient to display the cells in an N-by-N grid with an equal number of rows and columns, plus room for the Tile container's padding and borders. However, there are various special cases, as in the following examples:
If there are no children, the measured size is just large enough for its padding and borders.
The minimum measured size of a Tile container with children is just large enough for a single tile cell, plus padding and borders. If there are no children, the minimum measured size is just large enough for its padding and borders.

updateDisplayList | () | method |
protected override function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
Sets the positions and sizes of this container's children.
For more information about the updateDisplayList()
method, see the UIComponent.updateDisplayList()
method.
This method positions the children in a checkboard-style grid of
equal-sized cells within the content area of the Tile
container (i.e., the area inside its padding).
For a description of how the cell size is determined,
see the tileWidth
and
tileHeight
properties.
The separation between the cells is determined by the
horizontalGap
and verticalGap
styles.
The placement of each child within its cell is determined by the
horizontalAlign
and verticalAlign
styles.
The flow of the children is determined by the
direction
property.
The first cell is always placed at the upper left of the content area.
If direction
is set to "horizontal"
, the
cells are placed left-to-right in the topmost row, and then
left-to-right in the second row, and so on.
If direction
is set to "vertical"
, the cells
are placed top-to-bottom in the leftmost column, and then top-to-bottom
in the second column, and so on.
If a child has a percentWidth
or
percentHeight
value, it is resized in that direction
to fill the specified percentage of its tile cell.
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.
