First of all, when you add a component via MXML there is a lot more going on. Check out the details on the liveDocs
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ help.html?content=ascomponents_advanced_2.html#203434 Scroll down a bit and get to the "About the component instantiation life cycle" section. It will explain what happens and you can see what to do about getting your styles right. As for percents in the width and height parameters, there is actually a percentWidth and percentHeight parameter that you can use. MXML just does this step automagically.
