Good suggestion. For good measure (groan) I added a few overrides of
measure() that call super, that I could set breakpoints in.
Recall that the hierarchy is like this:
TiledCanvas
PodChrome
ReportModuleA (not a real module, just a VBox)
ReportChrome
ReportA
Grid
I notice that ReportModuleA.measure() does not get called. I also
noticed in the debugger that ReportModuleA.parentApplication is not
set (the debugger gives a 1009 error) when you select that property).
Seems suspect, doesn't it?
ReportModuleA and PodChrome are instantiated in ActionScript, and
ReportModuleA is actually instantiated in the service layer via a
static method in its MXML file. Then a parent of TiledCanvas observes
a list of the pseudo-modules, wraps them in chrome and adds them to
the TiledCanvas. Seemed reasonable at the time.
