margin in menubar

[aner77]

Hi ,I try to remove the left margin from the menubar control, but I dont know how. I tried to set marginWidth to 0 but the Adobe flex builder doesnt compile it. Is there a simple way to remove it?

It might be paddingLeft.

Aactually there isnt paddingLeft attribute.
from looking in the source code of mx:menubar i have found that there is private static memeber margin_width that initalized to 10.
so still no solution....

Oh, I see. MARGIN_WIDTH is actually a static constant. It is always used for positioning, and there is no way to change it through a property or a style. You'll need to subclass MenuBar and change the way it draws in updateDisplayList.
