Property Detail
distributeHeightsproperty
distributeHeights:Boolean

If the total height of the tiles in a column (minus padding and gap) does not fill the entire column, the remaining space will be distributed to each tile equally.

If the container using the layout might resize, setting requestedRowCount is recommended because the tiles will resize too, and their dimensions may not be reset.

The default value is false.


Implementation
    public function get distributeHeights():Boolean
    public function set distributeHeights(value:Boolean):void

distributeWidthsproperty 
distributeWidths:Boolean

If the total width of the tiles in a row (minus padding and gap) does not fill the entire row, the remaining space will be distributed to each tile equally.

If the container using the layout might resize, setting requestedColumnCount is recommended because the tiles will resize too, and their dimensions may not be reset.

The default value is false.


Implementation
    public function get distributeWidths():Boolean
    public function set distributeWidths(value:Boolean):void

The default value is 0.


Implementation
    public function get gap():Number
    public function set gap(value:Number):void

See also

horizontalAlignproperty 
horizontalAlign:String

If the total row width is less than the bounds, the items in the row can be aligned horizontally.

Note: HorizontalAlign.JUSTIFY is not supported. The distributeWidths property may be used to fill the available space when the content is not large enough.

The default value is feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.CENTER.


Implementation

See also

requestedColumnCountproperty 
requestedColumnCount:int

Requests that the layout uses a specific number of columns in a row, if possible. Set to 0 to calculate the maximum of columns that will fit in the available space.

If the view port's explicit or maximum width is not large enough to fit the requested number of columns, it will use fewer. If the view port doesn't have an explicit width and the maximum width is equal to Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY, the width will be calculated automatically to fit the exact number of requested columns.

If paging is enabled, this value will be used to calculate the number of columns in a page. If paging isn't enabled, this value will be used to calculate a minimum number of columns, even if there aren't enough items to fill each column.

The default value is 0.


Implementation
    public function get requestedColumnCount():int
    public function set requestedColumnCount(value:int):void
requestedRowCountproperty 
requestedRowCount:int

Requests that the layout uses a specific number of rows, if possible. If the view port's explicit or maximum height is not large enough to fit the requested number of rows, it will use fewer. Set to 0 to calculate the number of rows automatically based on width and height.

If paging is enabled, this value will be used to calculate the number of rows in a page. If paging isn't enabled, this value will be used to calculate a minimum number of rows, even if there aren't enough items to fill each row.

The default value is 0.


Implementation
    public function get requestedRowCount():int
    public function set requestedRowCount(value:int):void
requiresLayoutOnScrollproperty 
requiresLayoutOnScroll:Boolean  [read-only]

Determines if the container calls layout() when the scroll position changes. Useful for transforming items as the view port scrolls. This value should be true for layouts that implement the IVirtualLayout interface and the useVirtualLayout property is set to true. May also be used by layouts that toggle item visibility as the items scroll into and out of the view port.


Implementation
    public function get requiresLayoutOnScroll():Boolean
resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasureproperty 
resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure:Boolean

If set to true, the width and height of the typicalItem will be reset to typicalItemWidth and typicalItemHeight, respectively, whenever the typical item needs to be measured. The measured dimensions of the typical item are used to fill in the blanks of a virtualized layout for virtual items that don't have their own display objects to measure yet.

The default value is false.


Implementation
    public function get resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure():Boolean
    public function set resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure(value:Boolean):void

See also

tileHorizontalAlignproperty 
tileHorizontalAlign:String

If the item's width is less than the tile bounds, the position of the item can be aligned horizontally.

The default value is feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.CENTER.


Implementation
    public function get tileHorizontalAlign():String
    public function set tileHorizontalAlign(value:String):void

See also

tileVerticalAlignproperty

If an item's height is less than the tile bounds, the position of the item can be aligned vertically.

The default value is feathers.layout.VerticalAlign.MIDDLE.


Implementation
    public function get tileVerticalAlign():String
    public function set tileVerticalAlign(value:String):void

See also

typicalItemproperty 
typicalItem:DisplayObject

Used internally by a component that supports layout virtualization, such as List, to provide a display object with dimensions that represent a "typical" item in the layout. These dimensions will be used to fill in blanks for the layout when an item is virtual and isn't actually on the display list. If you are simply passing a layout to a component, setting this property will have no effect. It is meant to be used by the component, and the component will replace any value you pass to this property.


Implementation
    public function get typicalItem():DisplayObject
    public function set typicalItem(value:DisplayObject):void
typicalItemHeightproperty 
typicalItemHeight:Number

Used to reset the height, in pixels, of the typicalItem for measurement. The measured dimensions of the typical item are used to fill in the blanks of a virtualized layout for virtual items that don't have their own display objects to measure yet.

This value is only used when resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure is set to true. If resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure is set to false, this value will be ignored and the typicalItem dimensions will not be reset before measurement.

If typicalItemHeight is set to NaN, the typical item will auto-size itself to its preferred height. If you pass a valid Number value, the typical item's height will be set to a fixed size. May be used in combination with typicalItemWidth.

The default value is NaN.


Implementation
    public function get typicalItemHeight():Number
    public function set typicalItemHeight(value:Number):void

See also

typicalItemWidthproperty 
typicalItemWidth:Number

Used to reset the width, in pixels, of the typicalItem for measurement. The measured dimensions of the typical item are used to fill in the blanks of a virtualized layout for virtual items that don't have their own display objects to measure yet.

This value is only used when resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure is set to true. If resetTypicalItemDimensionsOnMeasure is set to false, this value will be ignored and the typicalItem dimensions will not be reset before measurement.

If typicalItemWidth is set to NaN, the typical item will auto-size itself to its preferred width. If you pass a valid Number value, the typical item's width will be set to a fixed size. May be used in combination with typicalItemHeight.

The default value is NaN.


Implementation
    public function get typicalItemWidth():Number
    public function set typicalItemWidth(value:Number):void

useSquareTilesproperty 
useSquareTiles:Boolean

Determines if the tiles must be square or if their width and height may have different values.

The default value is true.


Implementation
    public function get useSquareTiles():Boolean
    public function set useSquareTiles(value:Boolean):void
useVirtualLayoutproperty 
useVirtualLayout:Boolean

Determines if virtual layout should be used. Some components don't support virtual layouts, and they will always change this property to false. In those cases, the virtual layout options will be ignored.

The default value is true.


Implementation
    public function get useVirtualLayout():Boolean
    public function set useVirtualLayout(value:Boolean):void
verticalAlignproperty 
verticalAlign:String

If the total column height is less than the bounds, the items in the column can be aligned vertically.

Note: VerticalAlign.JUSTIFY is not supported. The distributeHeights property may be used to fill the available space when the content is not large enough.

The default value is feathers.layout.VerticalAlign.TOP.

Event Detail
change Event
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = starling.events.Event.CHANGE

Dispatched when a property of the layout changes, indicating that a redraw is probably needed.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
datanull
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
