BorderSkin on top of childrenSheesh...I just wasted half a day trying to figure out how to get a borderSkin to appear on top of all the children in a custom component I was building. It was a subclass of Canvas, so it was really easy...now that I know, it seems so obvious I want to kick myself. Anyway, you just need to do:
Actionscript:
-
override protected function layoutChrome(unscaledWidth:Number,unscaledHeight:Number):void{
-
super.layoutChrome(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
-
-
//move the border in front of the children
-
rawChildren.setChildIndex(rawChildren.getChildByName('border'), rawChildren.numChildren - 1);
-
-
}
