Hi, Yes it does.
Here is the way it works, You need to figure out why you need a - offset because really, this does not fit into the framework. The only time, a negative offset is viable is an overlay(that is not measured with the component's children). Think 4th dimensionally here, why do you need the offset? The layout manager assumes every component is a rectangle inside it's x,y width and height bounds. This is where measure comes in. Your measured values must comply with the actual content you are measuring inside your UIComponent virtual rectangle. Any deviation from this will just result in layout bugs and unexpected behavior. Give me a little more info about what you are doing and I am sure I can suggest an alternative. Peace, Mike On 5/31/07, Mark Ingram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Does it matter that the border is drawn at -10, -10? Because obviously the x, y values of the control will perhaps be 70, 70, but the border will be at 60, 60. Hope that makes sense.

Hi, override protected function measure():void { super.measure(); measuredWidth = 120; measuredHeight = 120; } Note, that is just hard coding but, you will do your measurment calcs in that method.

Around this component is a rectangle which I have drawn to a depth of 10 pixels (i.e. there is a 10 pixel border around my component). What functions do I need to override so I can return the correct width and height of 120 (instead of 100).
