Hey guys... this.validateNow() doesn't work... the width property doesn't refresh after that call... and the listener for the updateComplete Event wouldn't work much for me, because i'm laying out the panels and I need the width and height immediatly... Is there any way to get the size immediatly? I could use the updateComplete handler, but rather leave it as a last choice...
