This class is experimental, which means it has not been tested or documented as thoroughly as other core Apache Flex classes.

An StackLayout class shows a single element at a time..

The horizontal position of the shown element is determined by the layout's horizontalAlign property.

The vertical position of the shown element is determined by the layout's verticalAlign property.

The width of each element is calculated according to the following rules, listed in their respective order of precedence (element's minimum width and maximum width are always respected):

The height of each element is calculated according to the following rules, listed in their respective order of precedence (element's minimum height and maximum height are always respected):

Property Detail
horizontalAlignproperty
horizontalAlign:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The horizontal alignment of layout elements.

If the value is "left", "right", or "center" then the layout element is aligned relative to the container's contentWidth property.

If the value is "contentJustify", then the layout element's actual width is set to the contentWidth of the container. The contentWidth of the container is the width of the largest layout element. If all layout elements are smaller than the width of the container, then set the width of all layout elements to the width of the container.

If the value is "justify" then the layout element's actual width is set to the container's width.

This property does not affect the layout's measured size.

The default value is "justify".

verticalAlignproperty 
verticalAlign:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The vertical alignment of layout elements.

If the value is "bottom", "middle", or "top" then the layout elements are aligned relative to the container's contentHeight property.

If the value is "contentJustify" then the actual height of the layout element is set to the container's contentHeight property. The content height of the container is the height of the largest layout element. If all layout elements are smaller than the height of the container, then set the height of all the layout elements to the height of the container.

If the value is "justify" then the actual height of the layout elements is set to the container's height.

This property does not affect the layout's measured size.

The default value is "justify".

Method Detail
restoreElement()method
override protected function restoreElement(element:IVisualElement):void

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Restores the element to reset any changes to is visible properties. This method should be overridden in a subclass to return any elements used in the layout to its default state when it is removed from the targets displayList or when the target is removed from the layout.

Parameters

element:IVisualElement — The element to be restored.
