Callout

alpha: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The opacity of the object, 0 = transparent, 1 = opaque.

arrowOffset: Number

The offset, in pixels, of the arrow skin from the horizontal center or vertical middle of the background skin, depending on the position of the arrow (which side it is on). This value is used to point at the callout's origin when the callout is not perfectly centered relative to the origin.

On the top and bottom edges, the arrow will move left for negative values of arrowOffset and right for positive values. On the left and right edges, the arrow will move up for negative values and down for positive values.

If you use Callout.show() or set the origin property manually, you should avoid manually modifying the arrowPosition and arrowOffset properties.

In the following example, the arrow offset is set to 20 pixels:

callout.arrowOffset = 20;

See also:
#arrowPosition
#origin

arrowPosition: String

The position of the callout's arrow relative to the callout's background. If the callout's origin is set, this value will be managed by the callout and may change automatically if the origin moves to a new position or if the stage resizes.

The supportedDirections property is related to this one, but they have different meanings and are usually opposites. For example, a callout on the right side of its origin will generally display its left arrow.

If you use Callout.show() or set the origin property manually, you should avoid manually modifying the arrowPosition and arrowOffset properties.

In the following example, the callout's arrow is positioned on the left side:

callout.arrowPosition = Callout.ARROW_POSITION_LEFT;

See also:
#origin
#supportedDirections
#arrowOffset

backgroundSkin: DisplayObject

The primary background to display.

In the following example, the callout's background is set to an image:

callout.backgroundSkin = new Image( texture );

base: DisplayObject
Inherited from DisplayObject

read-only

The topmost object in the display tree the object is part of.

blendEnabled: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObject

Enables or disables blending. If set to false, there will be no blending and there may be performance gains.

blendMode: BlendMode
Inherited from DisplayObject
The default value is BlendMode.AUTO

The blend mode determines how the object is blended with the objects underneath.

See also:
loom2d.display.BlendMode

bottomArrowGap: Number

The space, in pixels, between the bottom arrow skin and the background skin. To have the arrow overlap the background, you may use a negative gap value.

In the following example, the gap between the callout and its bottom arrow is set to -4 pixels (perhaps to hide a border on the callout's background):

callout.bottomArrowGap = -4;

bottomArrowSkin: DisplayObject

The arrow skin to display on the bottom edge of the callout. This arrow is displayed when the callout is displayed above the region it points at.

In the following example, the callout's bottom arrow skin is set to an image:

callout.bottomArrowSkin = new Image( texture );

bounds: Rectangle
Inherited from DisplayObject

read-only

The bounds of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.

cacheAsBitmap: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObject

If true, the untransformed contents get cached into a texture at render time. The contents remain static until you turn off caching or use invalidateBitmapCache to update the cache manually.

calloutFactory: Function

static

Returns a new Callout instance when Callout.show() is called with isModal set to true. If one wishes to skin the callout manually, a custom factory may be provided.

This function is expected to have the following signature:

function():Callout

The following example shows how to create a custom callout factory:

Callout.calloutFactory = function():Callout {
    var callout:Callout = new Callout();
    //set properties here!
    return callout;
};

See also:
#show()

calloutOverlayFactory: Function

static

Returns an overlay to display with a callout that is modal. Uses the standard overlayFactory of the PopUpManager by default, but you can use this property to provide your own custom overlay, if you prefer.

This function is expected to have the following signature:

function():DisplayObject

The following example uses a semi-transparent Quad as a custom overlay:

Callout.calloutOverlayFactory = function():Quad {
    var quad:Quad = new Quad(10, 10, 0x000000);
    quad.alpha = 0.75;
    return quad;
};

See also:
feathers.core.PopUpManager#overlayFactory

#show()

clipRect: Rectangle
Inherited from Sprite

closeOnKeys: Vector.<Number>

The callout will be closed if any of these keys are pressed.

In the following example, the callout close when the Escape key is pressed:

callout.closeOnKeys = new <uint>[Keyboard.ESCAPE];

See also:
#closeOnTouchBeganOutside
#closeOnTouchEndedOutside

closeOnTouchBeganOutside: Boolean

Determines if the callout is automatically closed if a touch in the TouchPhase.BEGAN phase happens outside of the callout's bounds.

In the following example, the callout will not close when a touch event with TouchPhase.BEGAN is detected outside the callout's (or its origin's) bounds:

callout.closeOnTouchBeganOutside = false;

See also:
#closeOnTouchEndedOutside
#closeOnKeys

closeOnTouchEndedOutside: Boolean

Determines if the callout is automatically closed if a touch in the TouchPhase.ENDED phase happens outside of the callout's bounds.

In the following example, the callout will not close when a touch event with TouchPhase.ENDED is detected outside the callout's (or its origin's) bounds:

callout.closeOnTouchEndedOutside = false;

See also:
#closeOnTouchBeganOutside
#closeOnKeys

content: DisplayObject

The display object that will be presented by the callout. This object may be resized to fit the callout's bounds. If the content needs to be scrolled if placed into a smaller region than its ideal size, it must provide its own scrolling capabilities because the callout does not offer scrolling.

In the following example, the callout's content is an image:

callout.content = new Image( texture );

defaultTextEditorFactory: Function
Inherited from FeathersControl

static

A function used by all UI controls that support text editor to create an ITextEditor instance. You may replace the default function with your own, if you prefer not to use the StageTextTextEditor.

The function is expected to have the following signature: function():ITextEditor

See also:
http://wiki.starling-framework.org/feathers/text-editors
feathers.core.ITextEditor

defaultTextRendererFactory: Function
Inherited from FeathersControl

static

A function used by all UI controls that support text renderers to create an ITextRenderer instance. You may replace the default function with your own, if you prefer not to use the BitmapFontTextRenderer.

The function is expected to have the following signature: function():ITextRenderer

See also:
http://wiki.starling-framework.org/feathers/text-renderers

depth: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

If depthSort is enabled on parent, this will be used to establish draw order. Higher values are drawn closer. Matching values have undefined order.

depthSort: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

If depth sorting enabled, direct children will use their depth property to establish draw order.

disposeContent: Boolean

Determines if the callout's content will be disposed when the callout is disposed. If set to false, the callout's content may be added to the display list again later.

In the following example, the callout's content will not be disposed when the callout is disposed:

callout.disposeContent = false;

disposeOnSelfClose: Boolean

Determines if the callout will be disposed when close() is called internally. Close may be called internally in a variety of cases, depending on values such as closeOnTouchBeganOutside, closeOnTouchEndedOutside, and closeOnKeys. If set to false, you may reuse the callout later by giving it a new origin and adding it to the PopUpManager again.

In the following example, the callout will not be disposed when it closes itself:

callout.disposeOnSelfClose = false;

#closeOnTouchBeganOutside
#closeOnTouchEndedOutside
#closeOnKeys
#close()

focusIndicatorSkin: DisplayObject
Inherited from FeathersControl

If this component supports focus, this optional skin will be displayed above the component when showFocus() is called. The focus indicator skin is not always displayed when the component has focus. Typically, if the component receives focus from a touch, the focus indicator is not displayed.

The touchable of this skin will always be set to false so that it does not "steal" touches from the component or its sub-components. This skin will not affect the dimensions of the component or its hit area. It is simply a visual indicator of focus.

focusManager: IFocusManager
Inherited from FeathersControl

The current focus manager for this component.

focusPadding: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

Quickly sets all focus padding properties to the same value. The focusPadding getter always returns the value of focusPaddingTop, but the other focus padding values may be different.

object.padding = 2;

focusPaddingBottom: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's bottom edge and the bottom edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

button.focusPaddingBottom = -2;

focusPaddingLeft: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's left edge and the left edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

button.focusPaddingLeft = -2;

focusPaddingRight: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

The minimum space, in pixels, between the object's right edge and the right edge of the focus indicator skin. A negative value may be used to expand the focus indicator skin outside the bounds of the object.

layoutData: ILayoutData
Inherited from FeathersControl

Extra parameters associated with this display object that will be used by the layout algorithm.

leftArrowGap: Number

The space, in pixels, between the right arrow skin and the background skin. To have the arrow overlap the background, you may use a negative gap value.

Inherited from DisplayObject

The name of the display object (default: null). Used by 'getChildByName()' of display object containers.

nameList: TokenList
Inherited from FeathersControl

read-only

Contains a list of all "names" assigned to this control. Names are like classes in CSS selectors. They are a non-unique identifier that can differentiate multiple styles of the same type of UI control. A single control may have many names, and many controls can share a single name. Names may be added, removed, or toggled on the nameList.

See also:

Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

read-only

The number of children of this container.

origin: DisplayObject

A callout may be positioned relative to another display object, known as the callout's origin. Even if the position of the origin changes, the callout will reposition itself to always point at the origin.

When an origin is set, the arrowPosition and arrowOffset properties will be managed automatically by the callout. Setting either of these values manually with either have no effect or unexpected behavior, so it is recommended that you avoid modifying those properties.

In general, if you use Callout.show(), you will rarely need to manually manage the origin.

In the following example, the callout's origin is set to a button:

callout.origin = button;

See also:
#supportedDirections
#arrowPosition
#arrowOffset

invalidate ( flag: String = ): Void
Inherited from FeathersControl

Call this function to tell the UI control that a redraw is pending. The redraw will happen immediately before Starling renders the UI control to the screen. The validation system exists to ensure that multiple properties can be set together without redrawing multiple times in between each property change.

If you cannot wait until later for the validation to happen, you can call validate() to redraw immediately. As an example, you might want to validate immediately if you need to access the correct width or height values of the UI control, since these values are calculated during validation.

See also:
feathers.core.FeathersControl#validate()

Removes a child from the container. If the object is not a child, nothing happens. If requested, the child will be disposed right away.

removeChildAt ( index: Number , dispose: Boolean = false , fireEvents: Boolean = true ): DisplayObject
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Removes a child at a certain index. Children above the child will move down. If requested, the child will be disposed right away.

removeChildren ( beginIndex: Number = 0 , endIndex: Number = , dispose: Boolean = false ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Removes a range of children from the container (endIndex included). If no arguments are given, all children will be removed.

removeEventListener ( type: String , listener: Function ): Void
Inherited from EventDispatcher

Removes an event listener from the object.

removeEventListeners ( type: String = null ): Void
Inherited from EventDispatcher

Removes all event listeners with a certain type, or all of them if type is null. Be careful when removing all event listeners: you never know who else was listening.

removeFromParent ( dispose: Boolean = false ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObject

Removes the object from its parent, if it has one.

removeLMLChildren (): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Remove (and destroy) all LML children from this node.

setChildIndex ( child: DisplayObject , index: Number ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Moves a child to a certain index. Children at and after the replaced position move up.

setChildrenUnsafe ( ordered: Vector.<DisplayObject> ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

setSize ( width: Number , height: Number ): Void
Inherited from FeathersControl

Sets both the width and the height of the control.

show ( content: DisplayObject , origin: DisplayObject , supportedDirections: String = , isModal: Boolean = true , customCalloutFactory: Function = null ): Callout

static

Creates a callout, and then positions and sizes it automatically based on an origin rectangle and the specified direction relative to the original. The provided width and height values are optional, and these values may be ignored if the callout cannot be drawn at the specified dimensions.

In the following example, a callout displaying a Label is shown when a Button is triggered:

button.addEventListener( Event.TRIGGERED, button_triggeredHandler );

function button_triggeredHandler( event:Event ):void {
    var label:Label = new Label();
    label.text = "Hello World!";
    var button:Button = Button( event.currentTarget );
    Callout.show( label, button );
}

showFocus (): Void
Inherited from FeathersControl

If the object has focus, an additional visual indicator may optionally be displayed to highlight the object. Calling this function may have no effect. It's merely a suggestion to the object.

Important: This function will not give focus to the display object if it doesn't have focus. To give focus to the display object, you should set the focus property on the focus manager.

object.focusManager.focus = object;

#hideFocus()
feathers.core.IFocusManager#focus

sortChildren ( compareFunction: Function ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Sorts the children according to a given function (that works just like the sort function of the Vector class).

swapChildren ( child1: DisplayObject , child2: DisplayObject ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Swaps the indexes of two children.

swapChildrenAt ( index1: Number , index2: Number ): Void
Inherited from DisplayObjectContainer

Swaps the indexes of two children.

toString (): String
Inherited from Object

native

Returns a String that describes the Object. This can be overriden to provide extra details when printing objects using trace().

unflatten (): Void
Inherited from Sprite
