Property Detail

container

property
container:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Defines the container against which the renderer will calculate the size and position values of its targets. The renderer additionally manages targets being added and removed as children of the set container's display list.



Implementation
    public function get container():org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget
    public function set container(value:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget):void

measuredHeight

property 
measuredHeight:Number  [read-only]

Defines the height that the layout renderer measured on its last rendering pass.



Implementation
    public function get measuredHeight():Number

measuredWidth

property 
measuredWidth:Number  [read-only]

Defines the width that the layout renderer measured on its last rendering pass.



Implementation
    public function get measuredWidth():Number

parent

property 
parent:LayoutRendererBase  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Defines the renderer that this renderer is a child of.



Implementation
    public function get parent():LayoutRendererBase
Method Detail

addTarget

()method
public final function addTarget(target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget):org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Method for adding a target to the layout renderer's list of objects that it calculates the size and position for. Adding a target will result the associated display object to be placed on the display list of the renderer's container.

Parameters

target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget — The target to add.

Returns
org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Throws
IllegalOperationError — when the specified target is null, or already a target of the renderer.

hasTarget

()method 
public final function hasTarget(target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget):Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Method for querying if a layout target is currently a target of this layout renderer.

Parameters

target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Returns
Boolean — True if the specified target is a target of this renderer.

invalidate

()method 
public final function invalidate():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Method that will mark the renderer's last rendering pass invalid. At the descretion of the implementing instance, the renderer may either directly re-render, or do so at a later time.

removeTarget

()method 
public final function removeTarget(target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget):org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Method for removing a target from the layout render's list of objects that it will render. See addTarget for more information.

Parameters

target:org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget — The target to remove.

Returns
org.osmf.layout:ILayoutTarget

Throws
Error — when the specified target is null, or not a target of the renderer.

validateNow

()method 
public final function validateNow():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: OSMF 1.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Method ordering the direct recalculation of the position and size of all of the renderer's assigned targets. The implementing class may still skip recalculation if the renderer has not been invalidated since the last rendering pass.
