Variables
@:value(true)liveDragging:Bool = true
Determines if the slider dispatches the Event.CHANGE event every time
that the thumb moves while dragging, or only after the user stops
dragging.
In the following example, live dragging is disabled:
slider.liveDragging = false;
The slider's value cannot be larger than the maximum.
In the following example, the maximum is set to 100.0:
slider.minimum = 0.0;
slider.maximum = 100.0;
slider.step = 1.0;
slider.value = 12.0;
See also:
@:style@:flash.propertymaximumPadding:Float
The space, measured in pixels, between the maximum position of the thumb
and the the maximum edge of the track. May be negative to optionally
extend the draggable range of the thumb beyond the track's bounds.
In the following example, maximum padding is set to 20 pixels:
slider.maximumPadding = 20.0;
See also:
The slider's value cannot be smaller than the minimum.
In the following example, the minimum is set to -100.0:
slider.minimum = -100.0;
slider.maximum = 100.0;
slider.step = 1.0;
slider.value = 50.0;
See also:
@:style@:flash.propertyminimumPadding:Float
The space, measured in pixels, between the minimum position of the thumb
and the the minimum edge of the track. May be negative to optionally
extend the draggable range of the thumb beyond the track's bounds.
In the following example, minimum padding is set to 20 pixels:
slider.minimumPadding = 20.0;
See also:
@:style@:flash.propertysecondaryTrackSkin:InteractiveObject
The skin to use for the slider's optional secondary track. If a slider
has one track, it will fill the entire length of the slider. If a slider
has a track and a secondary track, the primary track will stretch
between the minimum edge of the slider and the location of the slider's
thumb, while the secondary track will stretch from the location of the
slider's thumb to the maximum edge of the slider.
In the following example, a track skin and a secondary track skin are
passed to the slider:
var skin = new RectangleSkin();
skin.fill = SolidColor(0xaaaaaa);
slider.trackSkin = skin;
var skin = new RectangleSkin();
skin.fill = SolidColor(0xcccccc);
slider.secondaryTrackSkin = skin;
See also:
When the slider's value changes, it may be "snapped" to the nearest
multiple of snapInterval. If snapInterval is 0.0, the value is
not snapped.
In the following example, the snap inverval is changed to 1.0:
slider.minimum = 0.0;
slider.maximum = 100.0;
slider.step = 1.0;
slider.snapInterval = 1.0;
slider.value = 10.0;
See also:
Indicates the amount that value is changed when the slider has focus
and one of the arrow keys is pressed.
In the following example, the step is changed to 1.0:
slider.minimum = 0.0;
slider.maximum = 100.0;
slider.step = 1.0;
slider.value = 10.0;
See also:
@:style@:flash.propertythumbSkin:InteractiveObject
The skin to use for the slider's thumb.
In the following example, a thumb skin is passed to the slider:
var skin = new RectangleSkin();
skin.fill = SolidColor(0xcccccc);
slider.thumbSkin = skin;
See also:
@:style@:flash.propertytrackSkin:InteractiveObject
The skin to use for the slider's track.
In the following example, a track skin is passed to the slider:
var skin = new RectangleSkin();
skin.fill = SolidColor(0xcccccc);
slider.trackSkin = skin;
See also:
The value of the slider, which must be between the minimum and the
maximum.
When the value property changes, the slider will dispatch an event of
type Event.CHANGE.
In the following example, the value is changed to 12.0:
slider.minimum = 0.0;
slider.maximum = 100.0;
slider.step = 1.0;
slider.value = 12.0;

Methods
Applies the minimum, maximum, and snapInterval restrictions to the
current value.
Because it's possible to set value to a numeric value that is outside
the allowed range, or to a value that has not been snapped to the
interval, this method may be called to apply the restrictions manually.
Inherited Variables
Determines if the component has been initialized and validated for the
first time.
In the following example, we check if the component is created or not,
and we listen for an event if it isn't:
if(!control.created)
{
control.addEventListener(FeathersEventType.CREATION_COMPLETE, creationCompleteHandler);
}
See also:
@:value(null)@:styledisabledAlpha:Null<Float> = null
When disabledAlpha is not null, sets the alpha property to this
value when the the enabled property is set to false.
Optional padding outside the bottom edge of this UI component when the
focusRectSkin is visible.
Optional padding outside the left edge of this UI component when the
focusRectSkin is visible.
Optional padding outside the right edge of this UI component when the
focusRectSkin is visible.
Optional padding outside the top edge of this UI component when the
focusRectSkin is visible.
An optional skin to display when an IFocusObject component receives
focus.
Determines if the component has been initialized yet. The initialize()
function is called one time only, when the Feathers UI control is added
to the display list for the first time.
In the following example, we check if the component is initialized
or not, and we listen for an event if it isn't initialized:
if(!control.initialized)
{
control.addEventListener(FeathersEvent.INITIALIZE, initializeHandler);
}

The class used as the context for styling the component. If a subclass
of a component should have different styles than its superclass, it
should override the get_styleContext getter. However, if a subclass
should continue using the same styles as its superclass, it happens
automatically.
When a component initializes, a style provider may be used to set
properties that affect the component's visual appearance.
You can set or replace an existing style provider at any time before a
component initializes without immediately affecting the component's
visual appearance. After the component initializes, the style provider
may still be changed, and any properties that were set by the previous
style provider will be reset to their default values before applying the
new style provider.
See also:
May be used to provide multiple different variations of the same UI
component, each with a different appearance.
Indicates if the display object is currently validating.
Inherited Methods
private@:dox(show)initialize():Void
Called the first time that the UI control is added to the stage, and
you should override this function to customize the initialization
process. Do things like create children and set up event listeners.
After this function is called, Event.INIT is dispatched.
The following example overrides initialization:
override private function initialize():Void {
super.initialize();
}
move(x:Float, y:Float):Void
Sets both the x and y positions of the control in a single function
call.
See also:
Sets all four padding properties to the same value.
See also:
setSize(width:Float, height:Float):Void
Sets both the width and height dimensions of the control in a single
function call.
See also:
private@:dox(show)setStyle(styleName:String, ?state:EnumValue):Bool
Determines if a style may be changed, and restricts the style from being
changed in the future, if necessary.
private@:value({ minHeight : 0.0, minWidth : 0.0 })@:dox(show)saveMeasurements(width:Float, height:Float, minWidth:Float = 0.0, minHeight:Float = 0.0, ?maxWidth:Float, ?maxHeight:Float):Bool
Saves the calculated dimensions for the component, replacing any values
that haven't been set explicitly. Returns true if the reported values
have changed and Event.RESIZE was dispatched.
Indicates whether the control is pending validation or not. By default,
returns true if any invalidation flag has been set. If you pass in a
specific flag, returns true only if that flag has been set (others may
be set too, but it checks the specific flag only. If all flags have been
marked as invalid, always returns true.
The following example invalidates a component:
component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true
Calls a function that temporarily disables invalidation. In other words,
calls to setInvalid() will be ignored until the function returns.
Call this function to tell the UI control that a redraw is pending.
The redraw will happen immediately before OpenFL renders the UI
control to the screen. The validation system exists to ensure that
multiple properties can be set together without redrawing multiple
times in between each property change.
If you cannot wait until later for the validation to happen, you
can call validate() to redraw immediately. As an example,
you might want to validate immediately if you need to access the
correct width or height values of the UI
control, since these values are calculated during validation.
The following example invalidates a component:
component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true
Sets an invalidation flag. This will not add the component to the
validation queue. It only sets the flag. A subclass might use
this function during draw() to manipulate the flags that
its superclass sees.
See also:
private@:dox(show)update():Void
Override to customize layout and to adjust properties of children.
Called when the component validates, if any flags have been marked
to indicate that validation is pending.
The following example overrides updating after invalidation:
override private function update():Void {
super.update();
}
