tabOffset of TabNavigator not processed by SuperTabNavigator ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi all,

I'm trying to put an offset in order to not have the left and right buttons
"over" tabs.

I see that : "Inheritance   SuperTabNavigator Inheritance
mx.containers.TabNavigator" so I try the "tabOffset" CSS attribute of
TabNavigator to do my stuff.

But in fact, this doesn't work. There is no compilation error but there is
no offset :/

What is wrong ?

Note : I've try to set the offset by a SuperTabNavigator style in my .css,
and by "offset=X" in the <SuperTabNavigator .../> in my mxml.

I have the same issue.

After looking at the sources, I found that SuperTabNavigator.updateDisplayList()
doesn't seem to take in account the tabOffset. Is there any reason for this, or 
is
this just something that was forgotten.

*** from TabNavigator.updateDisplayList() ***
var leftOffset:Number = getStyle("tabOffset");

if(tabBarWidth < canvasWidth) {
        switch (getStyle("horizontalAlign"))
        {
        case "left":
            tabBar.move(0 + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
            break;
        case "right":
            tabBar.move(unscaledWidth - tabBar.width + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
            break;
        case "center":
            tabBar.move((unscaledWidth - tabBar.width) / 2 + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
        }
}

I'm not a contributor on this project (ie I don't have access to commit to the 
source
repo). The change that needs to be made is incredibly simple:

Go to the updateDisplayList and replace lines 966 - 980 with the following:

[CODE]
var leftOffset:Number = getStyle("tabOffset");

            /* we only care about horizontalAlign if we're not taking up too
               much space already */
            if(tabBarWidth < canvasWidth) {

                switch (getStyle("horizontalAlign")) {
                    case "left":
                        tabBar.move(0 + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
                        break;
                    case "right":
                        tabBar.move(unscaledWidth - tabBar.width + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
                        break;
                    case "center":
                        tabBar.move((unscaledWidth - tabBar.width) / 2 + leftOffset, tabBar.y);
                }
            }
[/CODE]

Notice that I'm using exactly what Adobe's TabNav ( the parent class ) is doing 
in
their algorithm.
