No. You can set them in MXML as well.
<mx:Button width="50%"/>
is just a convenient alternative (and one familiar from HTML) to
<mx:Button percentWidth="50"/>

Actually percentHeight and percentWidth are for actionscript only.
IE: this.perrcentWidth = 90;
within mxml it would be width="90%"

Come on, really? This seems a very troubling shortcoming. I just know
one of you gurus has figured out a simple fix for this, right?
