Same thing here, text wouldn't fit buttons, bottom of windows were cutting off controls, controls that were previously horizontally aligned were no longer in line, listboxes without default selections that previously returned 0 as the selected index returned -1 in Flex 3. We went through all the apps and adjusted everything, it was far from a drop-in-place upgrade for us and we don't really have any complicated code or layouts. Jeff
RE: [flexcoders] Flex2 versus Flex3 font size
We fixed some padding bugs in the Button classes. In Flex 2, if you
explicitly set a width, the button would ignore the padding in order to
fit the label. In Flex 3, we fixed this behavior so that padding is
always respected.
One solution for you is to adjust the paddingLeft/paddingRight values of
your buttons. You can try setting these on a Button type selector to see
if it works.
mx:Style
Button
{
paddingLeft: 0;
paddingRight: 0;
}
/mx:Style
Ultimately, I'd recommend creating a class selector and referencing it
using the styleName property on all of your precisely sized buttons.
mx:Style
.myButton
{
paddingLeft: 0;
paddingRight: 0;
}
/mx:Style
mx:Button label=Try this width=40 styleName=myButton/

There's a versioning flag that might help. I think the defaults for the
kind of embedded font rendering changed as well and that may be what the
problem is.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2 versus Flex3 font size
I switched to Flex3 the other day and found that the font sizing for
the default font has changed! So on most of my applications where I
painstakingly sized buttons so that they exactly fit the text label, I
know see the text does NOT FIT anymore and has ... at the end!
I'm wondering how can this be easily resolved? Obviously I don't want
to go through a resizing on all my buttons.
Thanks
