Attributes

alpha: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

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

backgroundDisabledSkin: DisplayObject
Inherited from Scroller

A background to display when the container is disabled.

backgroundSkin: DisplayObject
Inherited from Scroller

The default background to display.

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

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.

clipContent: Boolean
Inherited from Scroller

If true, the viewport will be clipped to the scroller's bounds. In other words, anything appearing outside the scroller's bounds will not be visible.

To improve performance, turn off clipping and place other display objects over the edges of the scroller to hide the content that bleeds outside of the scroller's bounds.

clipRect: Rectangle
Inherited from Sprite

customHorizontalScrollBarName: String
Inherited from Scroller

A name to add to the container's horizontal scroll bar sub-component. Typically used by a theme to provide different skins to different containers.

See also:
feathers.core.FeathersControl#nameList
#horizontalScrollBarFactory
#horizontalScrollBarProperties

customVerticalScrollBarName: String
Inherited from Scroller

A name to add to the container's vertical scroll bar sub-component. Typically used by a theme to provide different skins to different containers.

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

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
feathers.core.ITextRenderer

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.

elasticSnapDuration: Number
Inherited from Scroller

The duration, in seconds, of the animation when a the scroller snaps back to the minimum or maximum position after going out of bounds.

elasticity: Number
Inherited from Scroller

If the scroll position goes outside the minimum or maximum bounds, the scrolling will be constrained using this multiplier.

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.

The following example gives the button 2 pixels of focus padding on all sides:

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.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the bottom edge only:

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.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the right edge only:

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.

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the right edge only:

button.focusPaddingRight = -2;

focusPaddingTop: Number
Inherited from FeathersControl

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

The following example gives the focus indicator skin -2 pixels of padding on the top edge only:

button.focusPaddingTop = -2;

hasElasticEdges: Boolean
Inherited from Scroller

Determines if the scrolling can go beyond the edges of the viewport.

hasVisibleArea: Boolean
Inherited from DisplayObject

read-only

Indicates if an object occupies any visible area. (Which is the case when its 'alpha', 'scaleX' and 'scaleY' values are not zero, and its 'visible' property is enabled.)

height: Number
Inherited from DisplayObject

The height of the object in pixels.

hideScrollBarAnimationDuration: Number
Inherited from Scroller

The duration, in seconds, of the animation when a scroll bar fades out.

hideScrollBarAnimationEase: Object
Inherited from Scroller

The easing function used for hiding the scroll bars, if applicable.

horizontalPageCount: Number
Inherited from Scroller

read-only

The number of horizontal pages, if snapping is enabled. If snapping is disabled, the page count will always be 1.

horizontalPageIndex: Number
Inherited from Scroller

read-only

The index of the horizontal page, if snapping is enabled. If snapping is disabled, the index will always be 0.

horizontalScrollBarFactory: Function
Inherited from Scroller

Creates the horizontal scroll bar. The horizontal scroll bar must be an instance of IScrollBar. This factory can be used to change properties on the horizontal scroll bar when it is first created. For instance, if you are skinning Feathers components without a theme, you might use this factory to set skins and other styles on the horizontal scroll bar.

This function is expected to have the following signature:

function():IScrollBar

See also:
feathers.controls.IScrollBar
#horizontalScrollBarProperties

horizontalScrollBarProperties: Dictionary.<String, Object>
Inherited from Scroller

A set of key/value pairs to be passed down to the scroller's horizontal scroll bar instance (if it exists). The scroll bar is an IScrollBar instance. The available properties depend on which implementation of IScrollBar is returned by horizontalScrollBarFactory. The most common implementations are SimpleScrollBar and ScrollBar.

If the subcomponent has its own subcomponents, their properties can be set too, using attribute &#64; notation. For example, to set the skin on the thumb of a SimpleScrollBar which is in a Scroller which is in a List, you can use the following syntax: list.scrollerProperties.&#64;verticalScrollBarProperties.&#64;thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

Setting properties in a horizontalScrollBarFactory function instead of using horizontalScrollBarProperties will result in better performance.

#horizontalScrollBarFactory
feathers.controls.IScrollBar
feathers.controls.SimpleScrollBar
feathers.controls.ScrollBar

horizontalScrollPolicy: String

maxVerticalScrollPosition: Number
Inherited from Scroller

read-only

The maximum number of pixels the scroller may be scrolled vertically (on the y-axis). This value is automatically calculated based on the height of the viewport.

Inherited from Scroller

Creates the vertical scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar must be an instance of Button. This factory can be used to change properties on the vertical scroll bar when it is first created. For instance, if you are skinning Feathers components without a theme, you might use this factory to set skins and other styles on the vertical scroll bar.

This function is expected to have the following signature:

function():IScrollBar

See also:
feathers.controls.IScrollBar
#verticalScrollBarProperties

verticalScrollBarProperties: Dictionary.<String, Object>
Inherited from Scroller

A set of key/value pairs to be passed down to the scroller's vertical scroll bar instance (if it exists). The scroll bar is an IScrollBar instance. The available properties depend on which implementation of IScrollBar is returned by verticalScrollBarFactory. The most common implementations are SimpleScrollBar and ScrollBar.

If the subcomponent has its own subcomponents, their properties can be set too, using attribute &#64; notation. For example, to set the skin on the thumb of a SimpleScrollBar which is in a Scroller which is in a List, you can use the following syntax: list.scrollerProperties.&#64;verticalScrollBarProperties.&#64;thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

Setting properties in a verticalScrollBarFactory function instead of using verticalScrollBarProperties will result in better performance.

Protected attributes

Constants

ALTERNATE_NAME_TOOLBAR: String

static

An alternate name to use with ScrollContainer to allow a theme to give it a toolbar style. If a theme does not provide a skin for the toolbar style, the theme will automatically fall back to using the default scroll container skin.

An alternate name should always be added to a component's nameList before the component is added to the stage for the first time.

In the following example, the toolbar style is applied to a scroll container:

var container:ScrollContainer = new ScrollContainer();
container.nameList.add( ScrollContainer.ALTERNATE_NAME_TOOLBAR );
this.addChild( container );

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.
