FlexContainerMovieClip Class

Description

Container components created in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional for use in Flex are subclasses of the mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip class.

You can use a subclass of ContainerMovieClip as a Flex container, it can hold children, and it can respond to events, define view states and transitions, and work with effects in the same way as can any Flex component.

A Flash container can only have a single Flex child. However, this child can be a Flex container which allows you to add additional children.

automationName the name that can be used as an identifier for this object. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
className the name of this instance's class, such as "Button". (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
currentState the current state of this component. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
enabled whether a movie clip is enabled. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
errorColor the color of the component highlight when validation fails. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
errorString the text that is displayed by a component's error tip when a component is monitored and validation fails. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)

height the height of the display object, in pixels. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)
id the ID of the component. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
mouseEnabled whether this object receives mouse messages. The default value is true, which means that by default any InteractiveObject instance that is on the display list receives mouse events. If mouseEnabled is set to false, the instance does not receive any mouse events. Any children of this instance on the display list are not affected.

numAutomationChildren the number of automation children this container has. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
percentHeight the number that specifies the height of a component as a percentage of its parent's size. Valid values are 0 to 100. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
percentWidth the number that specifies the width of a component as a percentage of its parent's size. Valid values are 0 to 100. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
scaleX the horizontal scale (percentage) of the object as applied from the registration point. The default registration point is (0,0). 1.0 equals 100% scale. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
scaleY the vertical scale (percentage) of an object as applied from the registration point of the object. The default registration point is (0,0). 1.0 is 100% scale. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
tabChildren whether the children of the display object are tab enabled. The default is true. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)

x the x coordinate of the DisplayObject instance relative to the local coordinates of the parent DisplayObjectContainer. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)
y the y coordinate of the DisplayObject instance relative to the local coordinates of the parent DisplayObjectContainer. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)

Methods

Name Description
CaptureBitmap Saves a bitmap image of this object to a file. If you do not specify an absolute file name, the bitmap is saved to the default bitmap location on the machine that runs the Agent, which is %LOCALAPPDATA%/Silk/SilkTest/capturedBitmaps. The captured bitmap's pixels are stored in 32bit RGB order; when parsing the image the 4th byte (alpha channel) of every pixel must be ignored as it is used only for padding. In .NET, the constant System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb can be used for this purpose. (Inherited from TestObject)
ChangeFocus Defines the value of the type property of a keyFocusChange event object. (Inherited from FlexUIMovieClip)
Click Clicks on the object. (Inherited from IClickable)
DoubleClick Double-clicks a mouse button on the object. (Inherited from IClickable)
DragDrop Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragDrop event.
Exists Checks if any child object matching the locator exists for an object in the application under test. If the timeout parameter is passed the agent retries finding until the given timeout expires. If no timeout is specified and no object is found initially false is returned immediately. (Inherited from TestObject)
Exists Checks if an object exists in the application under test. (Inherited from TestObject)
Find Finds an object specified by an XPath locator. (Inherited from TestObject)
FindAll Finds all objects specified by an XPath locator. (Inherited from TestObject)
GenerateLocator Returns a locator for this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetChildren Returns the child objects of this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetDynamicMethodList Returns a list of methods (including their signature) that can be dynamically invoked on this TestObject. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetParent Looks up the parent of this object in the test application. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetProperty Returns the value of the specified property. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetPropertyList Returns a list of property names that can be retrieved for the given object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetRect Returns the size and position of this object. Per default the returned coordinates are relative to the parent window that contains this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetStyle Returns the style value for the given style. For available styles consider the Apache Flex sdk documentation. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)
HighlightObject Highlights this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
ImageClick Clicks on specified image asset. (Inherited from TestObject)

WaitForChildDisappearance Waits until the specified child object does not exist or until the timeout is reached. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForDisappearance Waits until the object does not exist or until the timeout is reached. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForObject Waits for an object that matches the specified locator. If no object matches within an timeout an ObjectNotFoundException is thrown. The default timeout is 5 seconds and you can change the timeout by setting the value of the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF. Use WaitForObject if the AUT takes a long time to display a specific object, for example when a transaction is processed before showing any results. By default, an action in the UI does not require a WaitForObject, because of the built-in synchronization. If you receive random timeout errors during normal script execution, consider increasing the default timeout instead of adding WaitForObject statements to your scripts. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForProperty Waits until the specified property has the specified value or until the timeout is reached.If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForPropertyNotEquals Waits until the specified property has a value that is different to the specified value or until the timeout is reached.If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForScreenshotStable Waits until the control is visually stable and does not change its position, by comparing screenshots taken with the specified interval. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_SCREENSHOT_STABLE will be used. The default interval is 200 milliseconds. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
