Actually percentHeight and percentWidth are for actionscript only.

IE: this.perrcentWidth = 90;

within mxml it would be width="90%"

Re: [flexcoders] Percentage based width in ActionScript

[Brendan Meutzner]

percentHeight and percentWidth work in actionscript code...

the document you reference says:

"In ActionScript, you use the height and width properties to specify the
dimensions in pixels, and use the percentHeight and percentWidth properties
to specify the dimensions as a percentage of the parent container."
