Senocuar's Layout Class issue, scaling image on resize

i've been running into weird problems regarding Senocular's Layout Class. It's a nice little framework to align and scale objects in a fluid layout, though.

Some images in the background (currentContainer) don't resize all the way to fit stage's height, and sometimes they get really small in a corner.

Code:

---

bgLayout = new Layout(currentContainer);
                        bgLayout.minHeight = 600;
                        bgLayout.maintainAspectRatio = true;
                        bgLayout.percentHeight = 1;
                       
                        stageLayout.addChild(bgLayout);
                        stageLayout.draw();

---

each time the currentContainer mc gets a different bitmap images (with varying dimensions) on it, it gets assigned to bgLayout , whis is added to the stageLayout.

actually, do I need to do that ? Or maybe I should remove bgLayout from stageLayout before assigning it again?

Which are the best practices here?

Does anybody knows a class that do this job ?

Here is the context in which the code above finds itself:

Code:

---

private function onBackgroundLoaded(e:Event):void
                {

                        switchContainers();
                       
                        loader.getBitmap("bg").smoothing = true;
                        currentContainer.addChild(loader.getBitmap("bg"));

                        bgLayout = new Layout(currentContainer);
                        bgLayout.minHeight = 600;
                        bgLayout.maintainAspectRatio = true;
                        bgLayout.percentHeight = 1;

                        stageLayout.addChild(bgLayout);
                        stageLayout.draw();
                       
                        TweenLite.to(currentContainer, 0.3, {alpha:1});
                        TweenLite.to(otherContainer, 0.3, {alpha:0, onComplete: cleanContainer});
                       
                        loader.removeAll();

any help is greatly appreciated !

Do some search. Here is a start:

i've been quite lazy, sorry.

i found a great little class here, by Julian Kussman:

http://juliankussman.com/blog/2009/0...-layout-class/

and added that to it:

Code:

---

// match stage dimensions;
$disp.width = _stage.stageWidth;
$disp.height = _stage.stageHeight;
       
if (_registeredObjects[$disp].fitStageHeight == true && _registeredObjects[$disp].fitStageWidth == true)
        break;
       
// adjust proportionally to fill stage width or height;
if (_registeredObjects[$disp].fitStageHeight == true)
        $disp.scaleX = $disp.scaleY
if (_registeredObjects[$disp].fitStageWidth == true)
        $disp.scaleY = $disp.scaleX
else
        ( $disp.scaleX > $disp.scaleY ) ? $disp.scaleY = $disp.scaleX : $disp.scaleX = $disp.scaleY;

---

i want to implement also minWidth and minHeight and change the way the arguments are passed to be something more friendly like a tween call where i can pass args in no specfic order…and like "minWidth = false" instead of just true or false. maybe ...rest argument. hum..

ideas are welcome!
