RE: [flexcoders] Problems with alligning

[Tracy Spratt]

A quick look at the docs (and a test) indicates that textAlign will have no effect here, rather, left align is the default of the VBox.  Remember, alignment goes on the container, and affects the children.   “textAlign : Alignment of text within a container. Recognized values are left, right, or center. The default value is left. For the Button, Link, and AccordionHeader components, the default value is center. For these components, this property is only recognized when labelPlacement property is left or right. If labelPlacement is top or bottom, the text and any icon are centered.”   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 6:38 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Problems with alligning   The problem is that the second vbox is really only as wide as its child label, so you can’t see any alignment.   Add width="100%" to the VBox and see what happens.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 1:47 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Problems with alligning   Sorry for mentioning this again but I am still having problems alligning the code I want to the left. I will however post some code so that maybe I can clear up what it is that I am trying to do. I want the label that says "Allign this text to the left" to appear on the left side of the page and I was thinking that maybe the textAllign attribute could do that but I guess not. Can someone give me tips on how i might want to go about alligning it?   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"      marginTop="8"    verticalGap="0">               <mx:HBox >                     <mx:Label text="Allign label below" fontSize="20"/>   </mx:HBox>   <mx:VBox>         <mx:Label text="Allign this thext to the left"  textAlign="left" fontSize= "20"/> </mx:VBox>          </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
