It is a known bug that % width/height doesn't work in modules and using percentWidth/Height is the workaround.
Can't think of any reason for the second behavior. I'll look at a test case if you want. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 7:04 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Why are modules so buggy? I've admittedly only been using them for a short time but they seem phenomenally fickle. Our basic setup is that we have States defined in the main app, each of which holds a module and sets its visibility accordingly. Couldn't be much more straightforward. The other day my module stopped appearing when I set the layout property of one of its child components (TeaserWindow). The way I ended up fixing it was by changing the mx:Module tag from width="100%" height="100%" to percentWidth="100" percentHeight="100". Today my module has stopped showing up when I changed one of TeaserWindow's child components (a Button) from being added to rawChildren to being added as a regular child. TeaserWindow has 3 child buttons and only this specific one being in children causes this issue. The (totally illogical) "fix" of using percentWidth and percentHeight is not preventing this latest absurd behavior. I am at a complete loss as to how the child composition of a child of the Module or the layout mode of a child could cause the entire module not to show. Note that even when it doesn't show it reports its visible property as true and width and height as being correct. Am I taking crazy pills?
