RE: [Flashcoders] Making the text centered vertically in a combo box

2006-02-16 Thread Judah
Awesome! That did it. 

cmb.doLater(this, reposText);
function reposText() {
cmb.text_mc.label._y = -.5
cmb.text_mc.label._height = 15
}

the reason it does not work on the stage is because when you are setting it
theat component is most prob not created. remember that v2 components take a
frame (in some cases 2 frames ) to be created (love this about flex, you
have a creationComplete event). i would suggest trying to poll opver frames
(you can use doLater or an onterFrame (beacon is advised) to do this.

 I used XRAY specticles to find the label in the combobox but none of my
 changes take effect outside of using the trace/exec window in XRAY.

 // this code works inside XRAY exec window but not on the stage oddly???
 cmb['text_mc']['label']['_y'] = -5;
 cmb.focusTextField.label._y = -5
 cmb.text_mc.label._y = -5

 I don't know how to properly fix it, but as a hack how about
 appending a couple of line returns to the text?

 Here is how to reproduce it:
 
 
 
 1. drag a combo to the stage and name it cmb
 
 2. in actionscript:
 
 
 
 cmb.setSize(cmb._width, 16);
 
 cmb.setStyle(fontSize, 10);
 
 cmb.addItem({label:10});
 
 cmb.dropdown.rowHeight = 14;
 
 
 
 notice the text is cut off at the bottom!

cmb.setSize(cmb._width, 16);

cmb.addItem({label:10});
