Flash and XML
XML: Can be any XForms group type defined in the
XSLT. The XSL skins provided with ColdFusion MX
support the following types:
• horizontal: align child tags horizontally within a form
and put this tag’s
label attribute to the left of the
children.
• vertical: align child tags vertically within a form and put
this tag’s
label attribute to the left of the children.
• fieldset: corresponds to the HTML
fieldset tag, which
groups its children, typically by drawing a box around
them and replacing part of the top line with legend text.
To specify the legend, use the
label attribute. To
specify the box dimensions, use the
style attribute with
height and width values. You must explicitly use
cfformgroup type="vertical" inside this formgroup to
align its child tags vertically.
Flash: Must be one of the following:
• repeater: dynamically creates an instance of the
cfformgroup’s child tag or tags for each row of a query
object, without requiring ColdFusion to recompile the
Flash SWF file when the number of rows changes.
• horizontal: aligns child tags horizontally within a form
and put this tag’s
label attribute to the left of the
children. Use this tag to arrange individual controls
horizontally.
• vertical: aligns child tags vertically within a form and
puts this tag’s
label attribute to the left of the children.
Use this tag to arrange individual controls vertically.
• hbox: aligns children horizontally. Use this type to
arrange groups of form controls horizontally. Do not
use this attribute to align individual controls
horizontally, because the child controls do not align
properly; use the horizontal type instead.
• vbox: aligns children vertically. Use this type to arrange
groups of controls vertically. Do not use this attribute to
align individual controls vertically, as the child controls
will not align properly; use the vertical type instead.
