buttons
I want to dynamically change the size of the buttons depending on the lenght of the text contained in it. the text is getting dynamically loaded from an XML file and the length of the text may vary from button to button.
If the text in one button is very long the buttons start overlapping..
can somebody help me out with this.
Thanks

An idea just off the top of my head: Given that same font would be used you could acquire a base measurement of how much space is necessary for each letter. I would gain this by checking how much space the widest letter would need. Now if the button in question can hold 5 letters you would need to create a script which would compare the amount of letters imported and adjust the width of the button accordingly.
If you have a question, need some help, email me: chosenson

That, is no good to the poor guy
Have something like on your button:
onClipEvent(load) {
_width=_root.variableName.length*100
}
 ?
