3.4.4 Overflow
HTML uses rectangles to contain any element on the Stage, even if the element
does not appear as a rectangle because of its transparency. This bounding box
is one indication of the rectangular layout. The bounding box is a frame that
appears when an element has been selected to be transformed. Each element
is represented in the background by a DIV container in HTML. This bounding
box therefore indicates the exact dimensions of the DIV container. Since a DIV
container can contain other elements, there are several display options for the
child elements. (For more information on nesting elements, refer to section 3.5.)
Normally, the elements contained in a DIV container are no larger than the con-
tainer itself. In this case, you can simply ignore the Overflow option. However, if
the elements are larger than the container, such as when you want to create a
list with many elements and a scroll bar, you can change the container display
and scroll properties with these four options:
visible (default)
hidden
scroll
auto
. CSS Equivalent
This Edge Animate method corre-
sponds to the CSS display property.
The always on setting means the
display property does not change.
While on sets the display property
to block, the display of an element is
hidden when of is selected and the
value none is used.
The default setting, visible , means that all overlapping content (in the negative
coordinates) is displayed without any changes.
Figure 3.13
Set the Overflow option to visible so the
entire content will be displayed, even
when it goes outside of the container
boundaries
