Hi Amy,
I looked at the code, this is the width calculation.
There are four (4) parts to each of the tree node display:
1) the indent, from _listData.indent Only value id _data is
not null
2) the disclosureIcon.width
3) icon.measuredWidth
4) label measured or explicate width
The positions are calculated by:
1a) disclosureIcon.x = the indent
1b) disclosureIcon.setActualSize = disclosureIcon.width,
disclosureIcon.height
2a) icon.x = the indent + disclosureIcon.width
2b) icon.setActualSize = icon.width, icon.height
3a) lable.x = the indent + disclosureIcon.width + icon.width
3b) lable.setActualSize = lable.width, lable.height
The label width:
label.width: the size of the visible portion of the label in
the parent. It may be clipped/truncated.
label.textWidth: the total size of the text in the label
Maybe I can get the code finished today.
BTW, as I'm moving through this processes of learning flex,
the one thing I've noticed is the lack of a concise MVC model or at
least a breakout of the more complex UI components. I'd assume for
such a strategic product, there would be more investment by Adobe
in these technical areas. But, I guess its easier putting people on
a bus and send them to city to city.
