PopUpManager subcompo-
nent styles
PopUp controls inherit their styles from the
Application if they were not explicitly set on the
PopUp control.
PopUp controls inherit styles from their owners.
ColorPicker alpha The ColorPicker control’s
alpha property is
lower, resulting in a lighter control.
The ColorPicker control’s alpha property is higher,
resulting in a darker control.
Form and FormItem layout FormItem layout percentage height is not calcu-
lated correctly.
FormItem layout code uses BoxLayout. Percentage
heights and widths are calculated correctly.
Also, Form and FormItem now support the
includeInLayout property.
Percent width rounding rule If two the width of a container is 275 pixels and
two children have the width set to 50%, each
component is 137 pixels. The extra pixel is
ignored.
If the width of a container is 275 pixels and two chil-
dren have a width set to 50%, the components widths
are 137 pixels and 138 pixels. The extra pixel is applied
to one of the components.
Run-time localization The _CompiledResourceBundleInfo class is not
autogenerated for SWC and SWF files.
The _CompiledResourceBundleInfo class is autoge-
nerated for SWC and SWF files.
Parsing rules for .properties
files
Parsing .properties files requires removing
certain sequences of characters. To use a double
quote, you use \\". To use a new-line character,
you use \\n. To use a backslash, you use \\\\.
Parsing .properties files use the same rules as Java.
For more information about how properties files are
parsed in SDK 3, see “Properties file syntax” on
page 1106 in the Adobe Flex 3 Developer Guide.
Metadata The
keep-as3-metadata compiler option is set
in flex-config.xml. The default metadata
preserved by the Flex framework includes Bind-
able, Managed, ChangeEvent, NonCommit-
tingChangeEvent, and Transient.
If you use a third-party library with custom meta-
data in your projects, you must add that meta-
data to the
keep-as3-metadata option.
SWC libraries define what metadata the linker
preserves when linking in code from that library.
When you compile a library, the
keep-as3-
metadata
option instructs the compc compiler what
metadata to declare. The option adds the metadata
names to preserve in the SWC file’s catalog.xml file.
If you use that library, you do not need to specify the
metadata when compiling your application.
Profiler Applications are not compatible with the profiler. Applications are compatible with the profiler.
