Odd SDK code for the day

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

In mx:Label we have:

    mx_internal function getMinimumText(t:String):String
    {
         // If the text is null, empty, or a single character,
        // make the measured size big enough to hold
        // a capital and decending character using the current font.
        if (!t || t.length < 2)
            t = "Wj";
            
        return t;   
    }

The explanation makes sense ie says what exactly it does but why does it do 
this? It means that width of "9" greater than  width of "99" as it called by 
measure.
