Basically, whenever something gets updated which may change the size of
component X, call X.invalidateSize (usually from within X itself).

Sorry fpr the late reply,
my Problem is in fact not implementing teh measure() method. It is more the
problem how
to deal with composites and detecting changes of components that are
embedded in my
custom component.
My current strategy is dispatching an event when the displaylist of my
embedded
composite changes in order to call measure of my container.
Example: i have a container which is a composite of my own list component.
When i
change the contents of my list, the diaplaylist of the list will be updated
and the container
will be informed in order to call measure. Layoutcontainers are now able
refresh the
layout with the right sizes.
Is that a good strategy or is there something else i missed to detect
changes in the
container automatically? Do i have to dispatch events by my own or is their
some kind of automatism i did not think of?
Best regards.

Hi,
Search the archives for this, I know I have explained it quite a bit. :)
If you can't find it there read up on Creating Custom Components.
You problem has to do with the fact you have not overridden measure() and
set measuredWidth and measuredHeight of you component.
If you don't do this, the layout manager will set the size of your
component
to 0,0.

I have a UIComponent which Dimensions never change?! When i add a
child
in the overriden
createChildren i expect the dimensions to be changed... but nothing
happens...
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();
if (!this._uibase) {
this._uibase = new UIBase();
this.addChild(_uibase);
}
The UIBase class is a component made with the Flex Component Kit and it
has
width an
height 0.
I have no clue what i am doin wrong...
