Hi…
this is an offtopic question…

Is it possible to use css styles with MDIWindow?

Hi Brindy,

Sorry about that, I recently realized that adding a child to an MDICanvas does not cause the window to be added to the managed list. I am working to implement that for our next release but in the meantime your workaround is correct.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,

I tried the first example and it didn’t work until I changed
mdic.addChild( win )
to
mdic.windowManager.add( win )

Using the first method I was getting the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flexlib.mdi.containers::MDIWindow/onTitleBarPress()[/Users/dougmccune/Documents/Flex Builder Moxie/flexlib/trunk/src/flexlib/mdi/containers/MDIWindow.as:1406]

Cheers,
Brindy

Hi Fred,

Yes, you can definitely load modules into MDIWindows and/or use SWFLoader to load external SWFs into them. A full discussion of those is too large and complex to be had here but there is lots of good info in the docs.

I have to say I think its pretty cool that someone as far away as Mauritius reads my blog. :) Best of luck with your application!

win.horizontalScrollPolicy = ‘false’ ;
win.verticalScrollPolicy = ‘false’;
all work, but when after this use
win.horizontalScrollPolicy = ‘true’ ;
win.verticalScrollPolicy = ‘true’;

Ah, I see. Unfortunately I think you are running into an issue that has been brought up a few times recently. The RESIZE events are only dispatched from manual resize events using the draggable edges/corners of the windows. Things like maximize, restore, tile, etc do not trigger these events.

We are looking into implementing this in a future version though.

Sorry,
Ben

Click Add 2-3 windiw, then Tile or Cascade - win and image start resize . When click windowMaximize,windowRestore - image don’ t resize with windows.

Thanks for this soft!
When load image 640×480 in windows from example code
http://boris3gl.narod.ru/PV3D/WOW/WowStepSwitch/mdi.html
don’t see all image
when use resize function
http://boris3gl.narod.ru/PV3D/WOW/WowStepSwitch/mdi1.html
all work , but when event’s are windowMaximize,
windowRestore how get win.width and win.hight ?..
some code for function for resize

private function windowResiseForFocusedWin(event:Event):void{
var mgrEvent:MDIManagerEvent = event as MDIManagerEvent;
var tmpWin:MDIWindow = mgrEvent.window;
var tmpImg_ar:Array = tmpWin.getChildren();
if(tmpWin.getChildren().length > 0){
var tmpImg:Image = tmpImg_ar[0];
var tmpImgW:Number = tmpImg.width;
var tmpImgH:Number = tmpImg.height;
tmpImg.scaleX = tmpImg.scaleY = tmpWin.width/640;

//fool code, delete this and windowMaximize,windowRestore no work
if(mgrEvent.type == ‘windowMaximize’){
tmpImg.scaleX = tmpImg.scaleY = 1;//tmpWin.width/640;
tmpImg.x = (mdiCanvas.width - tmpImg.width)/2; //no work
}
if(mgrEvent.type == ‘windowRestore’)
tmpImg.scaleX = tmpImg.scaleY = 0.5;//tmpWin.width/640;
}//if
}//windowResise()

rest code
