Hi, The properties with $ signs mean they are wrapped and mx_internal. The $height and $width are the actual Flash Player version of height and width.
At what point are you trying to get the height and width? Do you know for sure the canvas has children and has been measured and updated? If you can see the canvas (with children), there is no way the width and height will be zero. The borderColor property help with debugging to actually see the canvas if it has no borderStyle, set to solid.
