Thanks for the suggestion, Terry. Unfortunately, I have tried validateNow() in a couple different places without any change. I'm filling the main container with a couple of other containers, the largest of which is an HBox containing a couple of text fields. If I create an addEventListener (FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE) on the largest HBox and then look at that height property, I can at least set the height for that container correctly and then access that value for the infoWindow. BUT, that doesn't really work because the final addChild will happen without waiting for the CREATION_COMPLETE, and I can't seem to get the scope correctly set to be able to addChild from within the CREATIOn- COMPLETE, so I'm back at square one.
Also, if it helps, I'm creating a Sprite to hold the infoWindow content like this: var infoBoxContent:Sprite = new Sprite(); // Call the InfoWindowLocationContent Class infoBoxContent = new InfoWindowLocationContent(content); And InfoWindowLocationContent extends UIComponent. Thanks again for any and all help!
