[JS] Hide Extra Space in Dynamic Script UI

when hiding/showing sections, i'm getting space don't want. haven't been able figure out how remove space.

 

there's post @ http://forums.adobe.com/message/3708111 adapted simple example below. when section toggle on/off hidden, you'll see there space between first , second static text. there should less space (as seen between second , third static text). ideas of how avoid space?

 

thanks in advance.

var null_size = [0,0],      max_size = [1000,1000];  var u,      w = new window('dialog', 'test'),      p = w.add('panel'),      s1 = p.add('statictext', u, "this static text"),      // collapsible group      g = p.add('group'),      e = g.add('edittext', u, "edit text..."),      r = g.add('checkbox', u, "blablablabla"),      // ---      s2 = p.add('statictext', u, "this more static text"),      s3 = p.add('statictext', u, "this static text"),      b = w.add('button', u, 'toggle');  g.orientation = 'column';  // initial state : hidden // --- g.visible = false; g.maximumsize = null_size;  // toggles container's visibility // --- b.onclick = function() {      g.maximumsize = (g.visible ^=1) ? max_size : null_size;      w.layout.layout(true); };  w.show();  

put s1, g, , s2 in group , change spacing half of current spacing when g hidden, restore spacing when g visible.

 

var null_size = [0,0],      max_size = [1000,1000];  var u,      w = new window('dialog', 'test'),      p = w.add('panel'),            g1 = p.add('group');       s1 = g1.add('statictext', u, "this static text"),      // collapsible group      g = g1.add('group'),      e = g.add('edittext', u, "edit text..."),      r = g.add('checkbox', u, "blablablabla"),      // ---      s2 = g1.add('statictext', u, "this more static text"),      s3 = p.add('statictext', u, "this static text"),      b = w.add('button', u, 'toggle');  g.orientation = 'column'; g1.orientation = 'column'; g1.spacing = p.spacing/2;  // initial state : hidden // --- g.visible = false; g.maximumsize = null_size;  // toggles container's visibility // --- b.onclick = function() {      g.maximumsize = (g.visible ^=1) ? max_size : null_size;            g1.spacing = g.visible ? p.spacing : p.spacing/2;           // alert(g1.spacing);      w.layout.layout(true); };  w.show();
