    increase heigth of label of the menuBar component

    I am working with Flash cs6 as2 components, menu and menuBar.

    The bottom of the letters that have a tail get cutoff. when viewing the menu.

    I have tried to change the font size, which does increase the font, but the problem still exists. I have also tried the standard fonts..

    Anyone know how I can increase the height of the drop-down label in the component?

    Hi,

    Mess around with the numbers to suit.

    menu.rowHeight = 30;
    menu.fontSize = 24;


    rowHeight is the one you require most I think to combat the font cutting

    if you need greater customisation and hints try here http://www.ultrashock.com/tutorials/...mponents13.php

    Hi,

    well row height should fix that exact problem, maybe attach your *.fla and lets sort it out.

    Or at least post the code you use

    Heres a file

    http://fruitbeard.net/uploaded/menubar.zip

    and here is the code used
    PHP Code:
    import mx.controls.Menu;
    import mx.controls.MenuBar;

    var 
    menuBar:MenuBar;

    var 
    menu:Menu menuBar.addMenu("Prent");
    menu.addMenuItem({label:"Drop menu 1"data:"A"value:"1"});
    menu.addMenuItem({label:"Drop menu 2"data:"B"value:"2"});
    menu.addMenuItem({label:"Drop menu 3"data:"C"value:"3"});
    menu.rowHeight 40;
    menu.fontSize 14;

    var 
    mbListener:Object = new Object();
    mbListener.change = function(e:Object)
    {
        var 
    menuClick:Object e.menuItem;
        
    trace("Label: " menuClick.attributes.label);
        
    trace("Data: " menuClick.attributes.data);
        
    trace("Value: " menuClick.attributes.value);
    };

    menu.addEventListener("change",mbListener);
