Try calling invalidateProperties() before calling validateNow() to get

If it isn't on the stage; then invalidateProperties will have no
affect; because the SystemManager (is that the right class?) is not
aware of it; and will push the component through its validation process.
I pulled up the old code. This was my render method for both MX and
Spark components.
public function render(argInheritingStyles : Object):void{
this.createChildren();
this.childrenCreated();
this.initializationComplete();
this.inheritingStyles = argInheritingStyles;
this.commitProperties();
this.setStyle('paddingLeft',0);
this.setStyle('paddingRight',0);
this.setStyle('paddingTop',0);
this.setStyle('paddingBottom',0);
this.measure();
this.height = this.measuredHeight;
this.width = this.measuredWidth;
this.updateDisplayList(this.unscaledWidth,this.unscaledHeight);
}
Since it sounds like you want to 'use' and interact with the component;
you'll probably also need a method that does update cycles.
