Have to agree with Richard on this one.
it's CONTENTheight/width... child layers have there own content..
if you don't put any normal text as content in the parent, the
contentheight/width is 0
child-layers should not be counted as content
Michael's post with the getChildrenContent could be used as new method,
this way if you
want you can still get the full content size (including child layers) but
the normal contentwidth/height returns just that: contentwidth/height of the
layer.
