Awesome!

I don't know how to properly fix it, but as a hack how about appending a couple of line returns to the text? -Marc At 03:30 PM 2/15/2006, you wrote: I am using a small font and a small height in my combobox but the bottom of the text is getting cut off.

That might have worked by itself but the combo box didn't like it. I could still use some help. 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 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Hoffman Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 5:47 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Making the text centered vertically in a combo box I don't know how to properly fix it, but as a hack how about appending a couple of line returns to the text? -Marc At 03:30 PM 2/15/2006, you wrote: I am using a small font and a small height in my combobox but the bottom of the text is getting cut off.

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