It’s a bug. Seems like
<mx:Text> doesn’t like getting created dynamically with a percentage
width on a container that isn’t visible? It’s very confusing.
When I used a hardcoded number instead of a % things worked themselves out.
Sorry about the bug, guess it’s fixed in 2.0 J
Matt,
Thanks for the semi-useful suggestion ;)
Tried to set creationPolicy="all" on the
view stack and it has the
same behavior. For kicks, I also tried
moving the call to
initLayout to the creationComplete event on the
second VBox, this
did not help either. Any other ideas?
