Hello,

Any chance of getting scale-9 support for catalyst-created skins? It seems like FXG 2.0 supports scaleGrid attributes on its Graphic element (spark.primitives.Graphic right?) and Catalyst creates root graphic elements out of its "Optimized Graphics". Can we have some way of setting the scale grid in catalyst on an optimized graphic that would get coded in the .FXG's created by the Export to .FXPL process? Currently my Flash-to-FXG-to-Catalyst-to-FlashBuilder skins don't scale gracefully.

I've been trying to figure out the correct manual method of adding scaleGrid to the Graphics element, and the proper constraints on all the parent Groups (left=0, right=0, etc) but so far my rounded corners are still distorting.

Short of having this added to catalyst, I'd love any tips on how to achieve this manually in the meantime. Haven't found much help with my googling so far...

I did find this blog post (http://workflowflash.com/39116/flex-4-%E2%80%93-dynamic-fxg-path-data.php) where someone

Support for defining 9-Slices or some kind of resizable, percentage-based components is ESSENTIAL if this is to be used for any real application. An app where everything is fixed size is unmaintainable and quite ridiculous. I can't even make tabbed navigation with catalyst because it can't handle resizing the tabs based on the inner text.

 

 

Sure I can fix these issues post-catalyst in Flash Builder, and I can prevent my code being stomped on by keeping everything in external files but it's a drama to worry about the child order or reworking the id's on code after exporting it from Catalyst -> Flash Builder.

 

 

This article sums up many of my issues fairly precicely:

 

I know you've addressed resizing in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/486207 but I'd like to post here to see what kind of support such a feature would get regarding votes. 

 

 

Thanks!
