If the itemcontainer parents the TA, its $height/$width should match the TA.
The $ values are basically the rubberband around all content. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bithroop Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 2:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] When $height != height... I've got a component called ItemContainer that extends UIComponent. Inside it has a TextArea. I want ItemContainer's height and width to update to match the height and width of the TextArea when the TextArea's are changed (I've got a resizer class that lets you drag a widget to change the width/height of the TextArea). What's happening is that the .width and .height of the ItemContainer are being set properly, but when I do a getBounds on that same ItemContainer the $height and $width from mx_internal are different. They are the same values as the previous time they were committed. I am not well versed in overriding updateDisplayList or commitProperties, so I'm wondering what order I need to do things in to make the internal $height and $width the same (ie, valid). This is also not an intra-frame ordering issue... the difference between $height and height persists until I manipulate it again which can be any number of frames later. Any thoughts on this would be great. -b
