There is a reason _width and _height are private. Use width and height. backgroundColor creates a true background. Canvas itself has no internal parts unless you use that style, therefore, by default it has no _width or _height, hence the need for wrapper getter/setters, width and height to hold values for setting it's size even though it's true MovieClip values have none.

Hello Guys, Can please someone explain to me next thing, let's review the code: <mx:Script> function showSize() { mx.controls.Alert.show(String(cv._width) + " " + String (cv._height)); } </mx:Script> <mx:Canvas id="cv" width="100%" height="100%" backgroundColor="#000066" creationComplete="showSize();"/> It shows some numbers > 0. That's ok. But if we just remove backgroundColor property, then it shows 0,0.
