Resizing HBox width to fit content

actionscript-3apache-flexmxml

I have an HBox with a fixed Width and Height and a Border. In that HBox I have a viewStack with a few different views.
When the viewStack changes views, I want the HBox container to keep resizing to its content. Currently it stays at the fixed width.
Is there any way to do that with an HBox setting?

You have to remove all sizing on the HBox. So remove any width or percentWidth attributes. Also make sure your ViewStack is resizing first.

Flex: Scale an Image so that its width matches contentWidth

Got the answer on Adobe forum. My solution was almost there, just need to use callLater(), like:

private function scaleImage():void {
    img.width = img.contentWidth;
}

updateComplete="callLater(scaleImage)"

Xml – MXML: combobox width is larger than parent width

You might be able to use minWidth instead. Set it to zero or some other low value. I know it works with containers like HBox and VBox to make them stop growing larger than their parent container, so it might work with ComboBox too. Basically, what happens is that minWidth="0" overrides the measuredMinWidth, which is a value that the parent container normally respects as the minimum possible size, and it may be bigger than the container's own bounds.
