EZ AS3 Dynamic Buttons

Hi boazgol,

The length of the button is determined by the length of the text (font size and styling is controlled via CSS ) and the amount of padding you specify in the XML . If you have a button with text the way you want it, you could then increase/decrease the length of the button by adjusting its padding.

The font and characters embedded for the buttons is determined by you in your FLA . So long as you have the proper characters for the font embedded, you should have no problem assigning Hebrew instead of English.

Hi basslion,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having problems with the buttons. The documentation really only covers the creation of the button since that is what the actual product is, a button creator. The management of how the user handles the states of the button, and what they do with it is up to the user since it could be used in many different ways. If you will, please send us an email through the contact form, that way I can send you the update via email. I have created a sample setup that I believe will do exactly what you want to do. I’ll be posting an update shortly and I’ll look at the docs to see what I can include that will help ease this process.

In short though, to answer your question. You simply create a new button with a new label then use the standard btn.x, btn.y properties to position those buttons however you want. You can give it explicit x and y values, or there are methods included that will help you to automatically position the buttons side-by-side that I will show you.

I’ll make sure the update I send you has plenty of comments to walk you through the process. But please contact us through the contact form so that we’ll have your email to send that update.

var btn:DynamicButton = new DynamicButton(“My New Button Name”); var btn2:DynamicButton = new DynamicButton(“My Second Button Name”); var btn3:DynamicButton = new DynamicButton(“My Third Button Name”);

You will have to add them to the stage afterwards such as addChild(btn) and then you can position them such as btn.x = 20; btn.y=20; btn2.x=100; btn2.y=20; etc.

Also, I included the preview.fla file with the download that you should have that shows the full process that I created in making the preview. Granted, there are a lot of UI elements that are also in there that are not needed, but it may help you as well.
