im using it with in the gaia framework do you know it? below is my loop and
'navbut.x' is what im trying to find, i need to add all the widths of all
the dynamic textfields sequentially and then space them out evenly
horizontally ,
im just totally stuck!
for each (var section:XML in siteNav.section) {
navbut = new navItem();
navbut.label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
//Insert the menu text (li...@name reads the
link's "name" attribute)
navbut.label.text=secti...@name;
//Assign an url to a menu item
navbut.linkto=secti...@src;
navbut.keepopen=secti...@keep;
navbut.isclicked=secti...@highlight;
//Insert the menu button to stage
navbut.y=0;
trace(total);
navbut.x= ?;
nav1.addChild(navbut);
//Make the button look like a button (hand
cursor)
navbut.buttonMode=true;
navbut.mouseChildren=false;
navbut.alpha=0;
navbut.name=secti...@url;
TweenMax.to(navbut, 0.5, {alpha:1});
//Add event handlers (used for animating the
buttons)
navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
navbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);
//trace(navbut.x);
//Increment the menu button counter, so we
know how many buttons there are
i++;
}
}
