Doug and Matt (thanks for suggestions).
Matt, your suggestion worked in my simple test (a doLater() did the
trick).
However, when i tried to migrate this into a general utility class
it still gives height=0.
code as follows (important bits)
class myUtils { //actually a singleton
var myMenu:Menu;
function createmenu(mypanel, mydp):Void
{
var myMenu:Menu = Menu.create(mypanel, mydp);
myMenu.doLater(this, "positionMenu");
}
function positionMenu():Void
{
trace(myMenu.height + "|" + myMenu.width);
}
}
any ideas thanks.
