I think I need more context. If I had a component with a circle and triangle and the browser window resized, if I set the component's widht/height to use %, updateDisplayList will be called with different numbers and I would just set scaleX/scaleY on either the entire component or the circle and triangle. Also look at stage.scaleMode. We use noScale by default.
