I posted this on StackOverflow.com but thought I'd see if you guys might have any ideas as well:
First and foremost, I apologize for any vagueness in this question. At this point, I'm simply trying to get some new ideas of things to try in order to diagnose this bug. Anyway, the problem I'm having is with an application that's using a custom moduleloader. That moduleloader has been compiled into an swc and the moduleloader is being instantiated via its namespace. This all works perfectly fine. The problem I'm encountering is specific to mx:button controls used within modules. For whatever reason, their labels are being truncated so, for example, Sign In is showing up as Sign ... After quite a bit of fooling around I have been able to establish the following: 1. This problem only seems to occur within modules. If a button control is used in the main mxml, the label does not get truncated. 2. The button control whose label is being truncated does not have a width specified (setting its width to 100% or a specific pixel width doesn't fix the issue) 3. The button control is using the default padding (messing with the padding by setting left and right to 5 or any other value doesn't help matters either). 4. We are not using any embedded fonts so I've ruled that out as a possibility as well. 5. mx:CheckBox and mx:LinkButton are equally impacted by this problem although mx:CheckBox also seems to not want to show its checkbox, it just shows the truncated label. A potential side affect of this is that attaching a dataprovider to mx:ComboBox causes the combobox control to throw a drawing error but I'm not entirely certain that it's related to the above problem. One interesting thing I did find while perusing the net for an answer was a mention of fontContext and its relationship to IFlexModuleFactory. There's no specification for fontContext within our implementation of moduleloader so I'm not entirely certain if this could be the issue. In any case, if anyone has any ideas, it would be hugely appreciated. On the other hand, if you know exactly what ails me and can provide me with an answer, I might just wet myself with excitement. It's late. I'm tired. I NEED my Flex app to play nice. Thanks in advance, --Anne Edit: To clarify what I'm looking for with this question, I really just need to know the following: 1. Could this issue be caused by a namespace conflict? 2. What else can potentially override the default behavior of labels if no CSS has been implemented? 3. Has anyone encountered a problem with inheritance being lost while using a custom implementation of moduleloader? 4. Has anyone encountered this problem or a similar problem with or without using moduleloader? I'm not sharing any code with this question simply because I'd have to share the entire application and, unfortunately, I can't do that. Again, I'm not looking for the end all, be all solution, just some suggestions of things to look out for if anyone has any ideas.
