Flexmasters: I've tried this a dozen ways, what's the best way to get the width of a UITextField and I've brought it up a few times. I won't stop asking till somebody can help me then these results then they will be search friendly! I know you have better things to do than help me, so it's appreciated greatly. I made my own graphical bar chart and want the number planted evenly in the middle of my bar and I can't do that without the width of my my UITextField. My application looks terrible without this aligning in the center. Right now, I have a bunch of if statements to try to size my textfields and that's totally dumb...etc.
I've tried: validateNow(); inValidateNow() updateDisplayList(); yourGuessIsBetterThanMine(); I always get back 100 I just need an example -- please- also measureWidth requires anti-alias not set to null, how does one set that correctly? I wish Adobe would add more examples in the documentation about textfields, i mean look at the posts about textfields, wordwrap etc. a lot of people have questions about these new tools and not everybody migrated from flex 1.5, like me. There's a bunch of stuff that should have simple examples. Actually shouldn't every class have examples, in a perfect application development world? UITextField has no examples. Will there be more actionscript examples in flash because i notice that most examples in flex documentation are reserved for mxml than AS. I really miss the old days of mytextfield._width... I'm done venting for tonight. ;) Thanks, Patrick
