haxeui-openfl broken for openfl v8

[intoxopox]

Can't build for neko, windows, or html targets once updated to OpenFL v8.0. Seems haxeui Component's invalidate is in conflict with OpenFL's invalidate method in DisplayObject.

[Igazine]

The problem is with DisplayObject.invalidate() which is a new function in OpenFL 8.0 but was previously defined in HaxeUI but obviously wasn't an override. So now the two has incompatible signature and parameters effectively making HaxeUI unusable in the new environment. Would be great if someone could come up with a solution

Hmmm, is this openfl 8? Thats kinda annoying, i guess we could rename all "invalidate" functions to "invalidateComponent" :(

Its annoying and ill get round to it asap, but i have other work commitments at the moment - maybe in a day or so.

Thank you for looking into it. Great support as always

Ok, this should be fixed now. Can you retest and close if thats the case please?

Cheers, Ian

I'm experiencing very weird issues with layout container alignments, many things look off, not where they were originally placed. That being said, I switched back to OpenFL 7.1.2 but kept the newest HaxeUI and suddenly everything compiles and works fine. There's something not OK with OpenFL 8, but that's another story. So far HaxeUI works and renders perfectly. OP should also post a follow up I think

Thank you for making the changes

I can build for all targets again, but have seen some buggy behavior with component size. I'll see if I can make a simple to test to isolate, as I can't tell if it's related to at all to this fix.

Ok, an example would be great, openfl8 looks fine to me:

Button text / size i think is a few pixels off to be fair, but nothing major (unless that what you meant?)
