Hi all there, thanks for your help.
Indeed, the percentWidth is what i was looking for, thanks a lot!
However, still I have this problem.
I have an HBox with two panels, side by side. My mainPanel and my helpPanel.
I have a 'hide helpPanel button' which does the obvious. This is my
actionscript behind this:
public function showHideHelp():void {
if (helpPanel.visible == true) {
mainPanel.percentWidth = 100;
helpPanel.visible = false;
} else {
mainPanel.percentWidth = 85;
helpPanel.visible = true;
}
For some reason, this does not works :-( My mainPanel does not resize to
100% as one would expect. Instead, it resizes just a bit more from it's
initial width (that is 85% and 15%).
Am I doing something wrong here?
thanks again,
George
