Window.content

Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).

Edition

Flash MX 2004.

Usage

windowInstance.content

Description

Read-only property; a reference to the content (root movie clip) of the window. This property returns a MovieClip object. When you attach a symbol from the library, the default value is an instance of the attached symbol. When you load content from a URL, the default value is undefined until the load operation has started.

Example

The following example creates a window and then defines a complete handler that resizes the window to fit its contents. It uses the content property to reference the width of the window's movie clip content. You drag a Window component from the Components panel to the current document's library, and then add the following code to Frame 1:

/**
 Requires:
  - Window component in library
*/

import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.Window;

System.security.allowDomain("http://www.flash-mx.com");

var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"http://www.flash-mx.com/images/image1.jpg"});
var winListener:Object = new Object();
winListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
 my_win.deletePopUp();
};
winListener.complete = function(evt_obj:Object) {
 my_win.setSize(my_win.content._width, my_win.content._height + 25);
}
my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener);
my_win.addEventListener("complete", winListener);
