RE: [flexcoders] Percentage based width in ActionScript
percentHeight and percentWidth are for actionscript only No. You can set them in MXML as well. mx:Button width=50%/ is just a convenient alternative (and one familiar from HTML) to mx:Button percentWidth=50/ - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Tretola Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 11:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Percentage based width in ActionScript Actually percentHeight and percentWidth are for actionscript only.

Re: [flexcoders] Percentage based width in ActionScript
percentHeight and percentWidth work in actionscript code... the document you reference says: In ActionScript, you use the height and width properties to specify the dimensions in pixels, and use the percentHeight and percentWidth properties to specify the dimensions as a percentage of the parent container.
