Referencing item's textfield in Accordion (Tree) Menu V3

(2007-07-17 - views: 5316)
Q: How can I set the anti-alias for the text of Accordion (Tree) Menu's items
A: In order to access the textfield of the Accordion (Tree) Menu v3 to set the anti-alias option or other option you may want to modify, you have to use the actionscript below:

var listener:Object = new Object();

// You need to listen for the onDrawComplete
// event because by the time this event
// is dispatched, all the elements of the menu
// are created and can be referenced.

listener.onDrawComplete = function(evtObj:Object):Void {
    parseMenu(evtObj.target.childs);
}

accordionTreeMenu.addEventListener("onDrawComplete", listener);

// This function goes recursively through all the menu items.
function parseMenu(node):Void {
    var len:Number = node.items.length;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < len; i++) {
        // Here, with "myText", you can access the
        // text field within the menu item. Once
        // you have access to it, you can do whatever
        // you need. In this example, the anti-alias
        // setting of the text field is changed to "normal".

        node.items[i].header.myText.antiAliasType = "normal";
       
        // If the current menu item has any children
        // items, then parse each one of them.

        if (node.items[i].childs != undefined) {
            parseMenu(node.items[i].childs);
        }
    }
}


Good luck.

please, i need to do the same for AS3
item's textfield can not be accessed in AS3

Unfortunately you can not change the properties of those textFields because the item's textfield can not be accessed with the AS3 version of the component.
