Thanks, all. I called: myLabel.validateNow()
and declared a handler on the myLabel.resize event, did my event logic in there, and all seems to be working fine.

Any suggestions? You should try calling validateNow() on the Label object. Either that, or call your own invalidateDisplayList() and let updateDisplayList() take care of triggering the effect. public function set marqueeText(value:String):void { if (label.text != value) { label.text = value; invalidateDisplayList(); } } override protected function updateDisplayList(...):void { // do the effect here if necessary } Manish -- www.manishjethani.com ------------------------------------ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62 079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!
