> I can't seem to get my text to measure properly You may be having timing issues. For example, if you ask for the width and height immediately after setting the text, they won't be correct because the LayoutManager hasn't run a validation pass (i.e., commitProperties(), measure(), and updateDisplayList() haven't executed). But if you wait for an updateComplete event, they will be correct.

I can't seem to get my text to measure properly, it's anywhere between 5 and 80 pixels off. It's a subject of much frustration, unfortunately, the the Text component has a lot of protected properties. Any suggestions on a free component as a replacement, etc. Thanks, Patrick
