I want that hbox to fill 90% of the width of "this". I see on this page http://livedocs. <http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000518.html> macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000518.html a comment about "percentHeight, percentWidth In MXML tags only..."
