Please post some relevant code. Are you sure you're picking up the TW's metrics and not the application's?

The Flex 2 API doc has this to say about CREATION_COMPLETE: "Dispatched when the component has finished its construction, property processing, measuring, layout, and drawing." The problem is that at this time, my component's "borderMetrics" property has a value of 0 for each of its properties -- top, right, bottom, and left. However, when the component appears in the UI, it clearly has a 3-pixel border (that I specified in the component's MXML using "borderThicknessTop", "borderThicknessRight", etc) and not to mention the standard title bar that appears for all TitleWindows. I would have assumed that the widths and heights of these borders, and the title bar header, would be reflected in the TitleWindow's borderMetrics property, but they are not*. Can anyone explain why this is? Thanks, Erik * I have verified that they are not being drawn in some futuree frame *after* CREATION_COMPLETE by putting in a simple click event listener and checking after the window has completed drawing itself. The TitleWindow.borderMetrics's properties are still all zero.
