Hi, When you explicitly set the width OR height of a component, the measure() method will not be called since you have already "locked" in the dimensions of the component canvas.
Use this method instead v1.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight() You will see it traces your set height. Now, take out the height and width assignments in MXML and you will see that it now traces; Height: 32 Measured Height: 32 Mike -- Teoti Graphix, LLC http://www.teotigraphix.com Teoti Graphix Blog http://www.blog.teotigraphix.com You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
