OK, this is what I am trying to do:
I have a component that extends mx.controls.Label. Its text is set
dynamically by use of the statement below:
return title + new mx.controls.Spacer("{width:75%}") + ttlRecs + recCount;
so to use this object above, I have in mxml:
<mx:Label text="{ myObj.text }"/>
What displays on the screen is "Some text"[object Object]"more text"
**** quotes are mine - not displayed***.
What I want to see on the screen is "Some text ....big space....more
text"
So I need to somehow make the output of the Spacer drawing itself be
contained within my text.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Libby
