I have an application with width/height of 100%. I have several nested groups within and their measurements are all not set, instead being defined as top=5 or left/right=10, etc.

I’m trying to get the actual with of a group that should be 390. I’ve set the swf object size to be 400 from the html embed code, and the group is inside another group that is width=100%. The group has a left=5 and right=5 so the width should be 400-10. When I display the .width and .measuredWidth of this group, the width is always 400.

I’m fairly new to flex/flash. Do I need to have explicitly set widths in order to get the width of child containers? Is there something I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks!

    It turns out there was an inner group with a path that was throwing the layout off. When I removed this element, the .width property worked as it had before.

    One thing that surprised me is that .measuredWidth and getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth() both returned 10 when .width returned 390.
