Use validateNow() or validateClient(). ValidateSize is for internal use by the framework and calling it by itself isn't guaranteed to work.

Its how I would imagine it would work.

Flex visual components don't work like this. Typically when you set properties, the component enters a kind of "invalid" state until the LayoutManager updates it. If you wait until the component dispatches an updateComplete event, the width should then be correct. - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] <http://ups.com/> [mailto: flexcoders@ <mailto:flexcoders@> yahoogroups.com <http://yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Sandeep Malik Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 6:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com <http://ups.com/> Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Real size of components I guess you should use getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth() and getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight().
