Correct width of the main menu

(2008-09-30 - views: 266)

Q: Is it possible to find out the width of the menu because neither menu.width nor menu._width is returning the actual width value ?
A: Yes you can get the real width, but you have to access the container movie clip for all the main level menus: myMenu.subMenus.menus._width. This must be done after the onDrawComplete event of the component has been dispatched:

var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onDrawComplete = function(evtObj:Object):Void {
    trace("my width is :: "+myMenu.subMenus.menus._width);
}

myMenu.addEventListener("onDrawComplete", listener);

myMenu.subMenus doesn't exist in AS3

How can I get the above to work with my component in the AS3 version?

Unfortunately that no longer works for the AS3 version. On the AS3 version, there is no property called subMenu. You could however try the following line of code:

trace(myMenu.child.itemsMc[0].parent.width);

Please note that the code will only work after the DRAW event has been triggered.

The trial versions do have a major limitation. They will ONLY run into debugger flash player versions, such as the Flash IDE player and the activeX FP used by developers.

Switch from Free Trial version to Full version.

You can switch from Trial to Full versions in a blink of an eye.
