when I debug a flex application in the properties of display objects i also see variables that start with a dollar sign, like: $alpha, $width, $x, etc..
what are they?
are they different from the "normal" alpha, width, x properties?
if I place a Border with width and height of "100%" inside a Group with width and height of 10 pixels the Border looks bigger than 10 pixels, why?
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
>
<s:Group width="10" height="10">
<s:Border width="100%" height="100%" borderColor="#FF0000"/>
</s:Group>
</s:Application>
did someone else encounter this problem?
I use the methods PopUpManager.createPopUp() and PopUpManager.centerPopUp()
to create and center a pop up window but it looks strange,
like the window is created at (0,0) and then reappears in the middle of the screen.
how do I fix this?
