| Button._width Property | Flash 6 |
| width of the button, in pixels | read/write | Description The floating-point _width property stores a nonnegative number specifying the current width of theButton, in pixels. If theButton has no content, _width is 0. The _width property measures the content of a button as the distance between the leftmost occupied pixel and the rightmost occupied pixel, even if there is empty space between those pixels. By setting _width, we change the size of theButton, affecting all of its states (its Up, Over, and Down frames). Note that the _width of a button can change as it switches between these states. Button._width is directly analogous to MovieClip._width; see that property entry for full details. Example// Check start_btn's width trace(start_btn._width); // Set start_btn's width to 200 start_btn._width = 200; // Create a text field 10 pixels to the right of start_btn, assuming // that start_btn's top left corner is at the registration point start_btn._parent.createTextField("theField_txt", 1, start_btn._x + start_btn._width + 10, start_btn._y, 200, 20); theField_txt.border = true; theField_txt.text = "Click the button to start."; See Also Button._height, MovieClip._width |
