[flexcoders] Label component - problem with truncateToFit

[Daniel Wabyick]

Ah, found an answer. truncateToFit doesn't work with percentWidth, or 
when not specifying a width.  The following works:


<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
        <mx:HDividedBox width="300">
                <mx:VBox id="b1" width="100%" height="100" borderStyle="solid" 
horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
                        <mx:Label text="test truncate" width="{ b1.width }" />
                </mx:VBox>
                <mx:VBox id="b2" width="100%" height="100"  borderStyle="solid" 
horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
                        <mx:Label text="test truncate" truncateToFit="true" 
width="{ b2.width 
}" />
                </mx:VBox>
        </mx:HDividedBox>
</mx:Application>
