The ButtonBarHorizontalLayout class is a layout specifically designed for the Spark ButtonBar skins. The layout lays out the children horizontally, left to right.

The layout attempts to size all children to their preferred size. If there is enough space, each child is set to its preferred size, plus any excess space evenly distributed among the children.

If there is not enough space for all the children to be sized to their preferred size, then the children that are smaller than the average width are allocated their preferred size and the rest of the elements are reduced equally.

All children are set to the height of the parent.

Property Detail

gap

property
gap:int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The horizontal space between layout elements. Note that the gap is only applied between layout elements, so if there's just one element, the gap has no effect on the layout.

The default value is 0.
