I am building a component in (Flex 3.3) that has to display an HBox of labels with various font sizes, with their baselines aligned.
I can do it by trial and error padding, but wonder if there is a way to do it with programatically. Label reserves space below the baseline, I guess for character descenders. How/can I calculate what this is for a given font size? If this was an absolute positioned container, I could use constraints, but then I would have to manually lay out everything horizontally. I have looked into the Text Metrics classes but they are pretty complex. I could use some suggestions. An efffective google search string would be valued as well! Tracy
