minWidth and minHeight seem to work for me :
<mx:Panel id="networkBrowserPanel" width="100%" height="100%" layout="absolute"
title="Network" >
<c:NetworkLayout container="{networkBrowserPanel}" width="100%"
height="100%"
outerAlpha="1" innerAlpha="1" outerColor="#ffffff"
innerColor="0x666666" circleRadius="200"
minWidth="400" minHeight="400"
/>
</mx:Panel>
OR, if you need to calculate it on measure() or somewhere else in your code
then:
override protected function measure():void
{
var rect:Rectangle = getBounds(container);
measuredWidth = rect.width;
measuredHeight = rect.height;
measuredMinWidth=circleRadius*2;
measuredMinHeight=circleRadius*2;
}
for example ...
I'm no great expert on this stuff however, so anyone is welcome to speak up if
it's not a good way to do it!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Drawn objects acting as children to components?
OK, so I am now 90% there with this now, thanks to Alex and Jim. I have
it working to auto-center if the panel re-sizes.
Now the last part I still don't know how to tackle: the drawn graphics
can still extend over the edges of the Panel component if the graphics
are very large or there are a lot of them. How do I get the Panel to
auto-trigger it's scrollbars and contain/mask the graphics being drawn?
I don't understand the Flex component framework enough to even know
where to begin. Here is the complete code, and thank you for looking at
this:
<mx:Panel id="networkBrowserPanel" width="100%" height="100%"
layout="absolute" title="Network" >
<c:NetworkLayout container="{networkBrowserPanel}" width="100%"
height="100%"
outerAlpha="1" innerAlpha="1" outerColor="#ffffff"
innerColor="0x666666" circleRadius="200" />
</Panel>
