validateclient can validate subtrees, but can still be expensive. in general, the height is determined by the parent (suppose you requested a % height). There are calls like getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight that are commonly used to calculate layout. It might be worth reviewing the related chapters in the doc.

If not, please explain... Is there a better, more appropriate way to validate certain properties, like "height", after adding children to a UIComponent or subclass of UIComponent? Coming from AS2 I find it confusing that there isn't an easy way to access the height of a container after adding children. If later during runtime I need to access the height of dynamically created child container, what is the appropriate approach?
