Thank you for the tips.
Here, I cleaned up the code some more (sorry to have left stuff over last
time),.
I added some explanations to make my issue clearer
\startusableMPgraphic{myFrame}
draw OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor green;
draw (currentpicture enlarged 2cm) withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled
2pt;
\stopusableMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[myOverlay][\useMPgraphic{myFrame}]
\defineframedtext[myStatement][frame=off]
\setupframedtexts[myStatement][background=myOverlay,offset=overlay,autowidth=force]
\starttext
\framed[strut=no]{\startmyStatement FIRST TEST\stopmyStatement}
In the first test, I would like the black box to have the dimensions of the
red box.
\defineframed[myStatement][background=myOverlay, offset=overlay,width=fit]
\dontleavehmode\framed[strut=no, offset=2cm]{\myStatement{FIRST TEST}}
In the first test, I would like the black box to have the dimensions of
the red box.
\blank[big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\startmyStatement SECOND TEST\stopmyStatement}
In the second test, I'm going to demonstrate the issue by flowing text around
the framed text, the green color {\em and the red color} shouldn't touch the
flowing text as I want the float box to include the text box {\em and the
overlay box.}
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[strut=no,offset=2cm]{\myStatement{SECOND
TEST}}}
....
If needed, you can hide this behind macros:
\def\startmyStatement
{\framed[struct=no, offset=2cm]\bgroup\myStatement\bgroup}
\def\stopmyStatement
{\egroup\egroup}
