Can't get Rect to draw one way, but works another

[kamcknig <ka...@gmail.com>]

I'm attempting to get a Rect to draw within my code. I have wrapped it in a
group container so as to make it a component I can drop anywhere. I've also
tried creating an MXML class with the root being Rect and I get the same
results.

If I programatically draw the rect in my main class, like so, it works just
fine. i get my rectangle with a gradient that is half the screen width and
height.



However, if i use it as a class, like so, I get just a blank white screen.

Here is my main class:


And here is the BackgroundFill class (note this is a paired down version, I
actually have it set up so they can change more than the color attributes.

Without really digging into it, I think Group doesn't have a layout so no
code is around to re-compute sizes of children by evaluation %.  So I
think you will have to write code to resize the Rect.  Doing it in
updateDisplayList would then be the recommended way.

I also then set the width and height of the Rect to equal the
unscaledWidth/unscaledHeight in the updateDisplayList and that worked also.

I'm unsure what the proper way to do things is.

If I set the width and height of the _rect explicitly within the creation
complete of the group such as:



within the BackgroundFill component then it works. But setting percentWidth
and height apparently doesn't auto update the Rect when the size of the
parent changes?

HI,
I've just accidentally stumbled over this [1]. It contains a styled
rectangle component.
Seems that this perfectly fit your needs.

HTH,
Olaf
