Re: [flexcoders] UITextField - width anti-alias type - FEATURE REQUEST: more examples in documentation
Have you tried using getUITextFormat and then calling measureText on that?

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( );
yourGuessIsBetterTh anMine();
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
