I have a component which is built based on user parameters. And I'm trying to make a Live Preview for it. The problem is that too many things, including the visual size, are determined at runtime and/or in component inspector. So, sometimes part of the picture (in Live Preview) is cropped. In

Michael, It seems your problem is similar to one I had with my components. The matter is that, unlike their behavior in AS2, in AS3 (CS3) components setters of [Inspectable] parameters are called lo-o-ong AFTER constructor As described here http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1181 So, even if I set

Yes, as allandt suggests, you should provide a default value for constructor param Unfortunately, it's not the only problem with components (at least in CS3) For me, the worst one is about [Inspectable] parameters (and their setters). As described here http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1181 setters
