height =" 100%" from actionscript

[mestdaght]

Hi
is there a way to set the height of a component to 100% or xx% like the way
you give an heigt in the mx:tag?
Action script expects an number while the tag works with a string.
I supose that somewhere in the component there must be a setHeight (val:String
) method or so

Regards
TM

I believe you just:
myComp.height="100%";

but if that doesn't work, you could the top and bottom properties to 0:
myComp.top=0;
myComp.bottom=0;

Hey TM,

if you want the equivilent of height="100%" in actionscript you use the
attribute called

percentHeight (percentWidth for width)

percentHeight is typed as a number so if you wanted 100% the code would
be as follows


yourComponent.percentHeight = 100;
