If I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.
I would like to be able to get rid of that space to where the text is completely flush to the top and bottom of the label. Changing the gap, padding, and leading didn't seem to help. Is it possible to get the text completely flush to the sides of a label?
I have a button with variable-length of label text. I have a User Setting that can turn on or off the label text on this button.
How can I implement this?
NOTE: the button's background has a gradient color.
I tried using BlendMode.LAYER, no luck;
I tried using Button.resizeHandler
private function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
if (event.oldWidth > this.width)
[Code]....
but it only worked if the initial UserSetting value is true.
How about embedded font? I don't know how to apply it to button

View 1 RepliesI am trying to remove all the padding from a Label contained in an HBox. I set paddingTop and paddingBottom to 0 in both the Label and HBox but there is still quite a bit of padding.

View 2 RepliesFlex's text-editing controls (mx:TextField, mx:TextArea) offer functions for doing "stuff" with the selected text (selectionBeginIndex, selectionEndIndex, setSelection), but the text-displaying controls (mx:Label, mx:Text) don't seem to offer anything of the sort.After some tinkering, I've tried subclassing Label then writing functions which give access to the underlying TextField instance... But even then, setting the selection didn't work![code]So, is there any better way to access/change the text which is selected in mx:Label and mx:Text controls? Are there "better" controls to use?

I'm trying to display some simple information in an Alert (I'd rather not use an alert, but I need a fast n' simple solution for a project that's got to be out the door asap)
how large I make the alert, my information never stretches out, and ends up being clipped.
I can actually scroll through the text with the mousewheel, but that's no good.
The image says it all. I can't imagine Alert just doesn't handle this.

Code:
var myAlert:Alert = Alert.show("The package you have selected includes a feature(s) you've already selected.
We have removed the individual features for you.");
myAlert.height = 150*2;
myAlert.width = 350*2;

View 2 RepliesI need to make a small app accessible to screen reader.I'm managing to make buttons accessible, but I would also like to have a section of text accessible by screen readers so that users can hear what the text says.
I can't seem to work out how to do this.. I've tried various text controls and set them as focusEnabled, tabEnabled, i've set the accessibility* attributes too but it never seems to work, I cannot tab to a text label and hear the content.
I'm honestly a little new to accessiblity in Flex so apologies if i'm missing something obvious.
I got very basic question. Why this is not working?!

var theLabel:Label = new Label();
theLabel.id = "123";
theLabel.text = "test";

I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline. I want to arrange the label vertically so I need to know the height of the label so I can place the next label properly, but when I try to read this property, after the labels is added through the addElement mehtod, it returns 0.
how to get the label height?
i have created a group in run time and then added in it two buttons and one label

How can i change the text of label using this event.currentTarget. How can i target the label
I'm a new to Flex, and I'm trying to add a second label to a text box.
like this: Label [_______] label 2
So the first label will describe the text box and the second the unit, for example:
cost of cleaning [_______] $ per hour
Can I do this with a label inside the form item?
what I have tried looks like this:
mx:FormItem label="cost of cleaning">
<mx:TextInput id="proSRO2YO" text="" width="120" maxChars="20"/>
<mx:Label text="dollars per hour"/>
</mx:FormItem>
but that results in a second label one line below, I need these on the same line.
I am using spark.label for Mobiles in Flex, I want gradient on label text instead of solid color. But performance should be kept in mind as it will run on mobile device.

View 2 RepliesThere is a white space above the flash file. My file is 360 pix high, but I need the default bar at the bottom. So I set it to be 400. But the extra 40 pix got shared by the bar and an unwanted white space on the top.
If I set it to 360, no space, but no bar either. In either case, there is an extra 2 pix double lines on top. I want to remove the space and double lines.

View 2 RepliesSuppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.
View 1 RepliesI have a text file that needs to be parsed correctly. The text file looks like this:
[header]
[header 2]
[ header3 ]
I can grab these headers by doing so
var expression:RegExp = /[ [a-z0-9 ]+ ]/igxm;
var items:Array = text.match(expression);
But I would also like to remove the white space from before and after the brackets, so the headers can align against the left edge. Also, for [ header3 ], I would like to remove the white space inside the brackets, before "h" and after "3". What would be the correct regex for something this?
I am trying to remove / replace white space from a string in as3. The string comes from xml and than written into text field. To compare the strings I am trying to remove white spaces
var xmlSentence:String=myXML.SENTENCE[thisSentence];
var tfSentence=e.target.text;
var rex:RegExp = /s+/;
trace(xmlSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
trace(tfSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
That code outputs like this:
She-has a dog
-She has a dog
I also tried different rex patterns. The problem is that though there are spaces in both string -which are same- it finds only one space but not the same one in both strings.
How I can remove whitespace from a string, but only if the white space is the first character?[code]...
