Even if you trigger notifications, the "preferred size" (which is what determines the amound of space it takes) for the object is calculated only on the basis of the preferred sizes of its children -- not taking the rotation into account. If you want the parent container to size itself correcrtly, you'll have to override the child's getPreferredWidth() and getPreferredHeight() <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"> <mx:Button click="innerBox._rotation = 45;" /> <mx:Box id="outerBox" backgroundColor="blue" marginLeft="5" marginRight="5"> <mx:Box id="innerBox" backgroundColor="red" marginLeft="5" marginRight="5"> <mx:TextInput /> </mx:Box> </mx:Box> </mx:Application> Here the preferred width and height of 'innerBox' remains the same, even after rotating. You can override it to return new values after taking _rotation into account. Yahoo!
