The ToolBar class used by the RichTextEditor is undocumented but the source code for it is available. In the SDK, it's at frameworks/project/framework/src/mx/controls/richTextEditorControls/Tool Bar.as. It implements its layout logic, as all UIComponents should, in its updateDisplayList() method. I think it simply lays out children left-to-right on row 1 until row 1 is full and then it starts laying out left-to-right on row 2., etc
I would expect a Spacer to take up empty space if you specify a width for it, but I don't think ToolBar has logic for children with percentWidth, or for right-aligning children. But you can write your own ToolBar that has such logic, using our code as a starting point. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team P.S. You're not a pest!

Ok - I'm doing so -- I've a queston about the Toolbar class -- it's not visual, correct? So there's no real way of laying out buttons? ie have one button hard right when less buttons are there? I just can't find any info on the toolbar in terms of layout - I read up on Container but there's no real layout of children as far as I can see -- even adding a spacer doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks for any info. Sorry if I'm a pest. On Apr 24, 2008, at 6:29 PM, Alex Harui wrote: The source is an MXML file.

So I'm removing buttons from the toolbar in the RTE - is there ways of r! esizing the container so that it's not a big gaping height?
