I noticed a problem with VerticalFlexLayout in IE11 (and presumably older
IE browsers).
The JS output causing problems has
child.dispatchEvent(new Event("layoutNeeded"));
The reason is that the org.apache.flex.events.Event import is missing from
the
COMPILE::JS build scope
So it is falling back to what I assume is the native html Event class (via
externs)
This works fine in Chrome, but not so in IE11.
Changing the actionscript source for VerticalFlexLayout to add
import org.apache.flex.events.Event;
to cover javascript as welll as SWF, fixes the issue.
I then unzipped all the JS swcs and file-searched in the js output for 'new
Event'
It looks like there are a total of 14 cases of output in the js which are
new Event('something') instead of new
org.apache.flex.events.Event('something')
These are in
org.apache.flex.core.ApplicationBase (x6)
org.apache.flex.svg.GraphicContainer (x3)
org.apache.flex.html.beads.layouts.VerticalFlexLayout (x1)
org.apache.flex.html.beads.layouts.HorizontalFlexLayout (x1)
org.apache.flex.textLayout.edit.Clipboard (x3)
I suspect these are import omissions that may cause bugs (perhaps only in
certain older browsers).
But thought I would check before doing any changes in case I am missing
something that I don't understand about the events in js....
What do others think?
