No, if you call invalidateProperties(), then you're scheduling a call to commitProperties() only. invalidateSize() will schedule a call to measure(), and invalidateDisplayList() will schedule a call to updateDisplayList(). This gives you fine-grained control to only call the functions you really need. See this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html? content=ascomponents_advanced_2.html For more information. I think it just takes time and experimentation to get your head around it. I found that using the flash component kit's UIMovieClip, which doesn't include the standard invalidation methods, was a real eye opener to show me why the framework works as it does. HTH; Amy
