Thanks, that was a really helpful example. To fix it, I stuck the chart into a
canvas, and it seems to be ignoring that preferred size of 400x400 now.

That can't be right. Have you seen the Flex Dashboard app at http://examples.
adobe.com/ flex3/devnet/ dashboard/ main.html ? If you minimize all the panels
except the pie chart panel, you will note the pie chart gets much larger than
400x400 and piechart is derived from chartbase.
You should probably download the source from there and see how they do it.
