Instead of changing the height, which will not affect the size
at all, you need to change the scaleX/scaleY properties:
scaleX += .2;
scaleY += .2;

Yeah, but for some reason when I do getBounds(this) and

Also, zooming is tough because if I simply increase or
decrease width and height, it seems to move the graphic instead of
change it's size...
public function zoomIn():void
{
height += 100;
width += 100;
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
public function zoomOut():void
{
height -= 100;
width -= 100;
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);

You want the bounds of what you drew, so
getBounds(this) should be correct.
If you set scaleX/Y to zoom, you shouldn't need
to do anything. If you set scaleX/Y on an internal thing to zoom or in
the case of the circle, multiply the radius by some zoom factor, then
you have to report that new measuredWidth/Height in measure() and maybe
call invalidateList if you have some property like zoomFactor that we're
not already watching for changes

I thought the container reference was needed by
the getBounds() method - it requires an argument of a UIComponent of
some kind, I thought the custom component would need to know the new
size of the container when it got re-sized. If I don't need the
container reference, then maybe I could just say getBounds(this) instead
and it would work.
Also, I want to implement a method to scale the
graphics up and down, I have that working, but I'm back to the graphic
not being centered and not staying within the boundaries of the Panel
container again when the zoom occurs. I tried calling updateDisplayList
again when the zoom action happens, but that didn't work. Any thoughts
there?

I think in the general case, you'll need
to set minHeight/minWidth to zero or something small on the Panel or
have fixed width/height on the Panel to get the Panel to consider
putting up scrollbars.
The graphics object should compute
measuredMinWidth/measuredMinHeight to be the same as
measuredWidht/Height so the Panel will not try to shrink it past its
dimensions.
If you can compute the measurements w/o
drawing then you don't need commitProperties and just draw in
updateDisplayList.
I don't know why you need a container
reference unless it is to get the bounds of the container to determine
where to draw, but if you've set up % widht/height you'll be given those
dimensions in updateDisplayList.

Hey Jim, passing minWidth and minHeight
to the custom UI component worked perfectly for me - now the drawn
graphic is contained in the Panel container - thank you!
