How to define label offset in FlxButton

[Rabí Hernández Corona]

Hello,
I have a FlxButton with a custom image, and I need to offset the label. I have not idea for wath is the sintax. Can you help me?

As far as I remember, you can access the label directly: FlxButton.label (FlxText). Example:

button.label.x = 50;
button.label.y = 50;
// as well change other properties like size, color, etc

It was the first thing that I've tried. It doesn't return any error, but there's no visible result.

This should do the trick :)

button.labelOffset.set(50, 50);

No, it shouldn't, it's not labelOffset but labelOffsets, an Array<Int> that defines the offsets for each button status. You should be able to use button.label.offset as a "global offset" though, that seems more convenient.

x / y position changes to the button label will be overriden by internal logic.

Yep, sorry, I took my snippet from an old project (Gorilla Go!), API has changed since then. As always :)

[Rabí Hernández Corona]

Well, I've seen that labelOffsets is an FlxPoint, but it's a little hard to find the correct syntax (I'm almost new in haxe and haxefliel). Looking in the FlxTypedButton class, I figure to use

        btn.labelOffsets = [FlxPoint.get(0,10)];

and it works, but honestly I don understan the whole logic.

[varomix WEY]

this works MyButton.labelOffsets[0].x = 30;

just tested

[Gama11]

There is one offset in the array for each button state. Only setting the first like varomix suggested would lead to issues when the button state changes.

Ideally, you'd do something like this:

var customOffset = 10;

button.labelOffsets[FlxButton.NORMAL].x += customOffset;

button.labelOffsets[FlxButton.PRESSED].x += customOffset;

button.labelOffsets[FlxButton.HIGHLIGHT].x += customOffset;

Or much simpler, just set button.label.offset like I suggested earlier and leave labelOffsets alone. However, here you have to subtract:

button.label.offset.x -= customOffset;

You can think of label.offset as a global modifier. The offsets in labelOffsets are relative to it, and depend on the current button status.

Thanks, Gama11!  That's a full explanation. Now I understand perfectly.
