Awesome! That did it. 

cmb.doLater(this, "reposText");
function reposText() {
        cmb.text_mc.label._y = -.5
        cmb.text_mc.label._height = 15
}

box

the reason it does not work on the stage is because when you are setting it
theat component is most prob not created. remember that v2 components take a
frame (in some cases 2 frames ) to be created (love this about flex, you
have a creationComplete event). i would suggest trying to poll opver frames
(you can use doLater or an onterFrame (beacon is advised) to do this.
