Problem in Setting CompositionHeight

Check this out:

Setting the scaleX/scaleY on the ContainerController's container (the Sprite) will do a visual scale of the text. Calling setCompositionSize on the ContainerController keeps the text the same size, but changes the amount of space available to it for laying out text. So which one you want depends on which kind of change you want. In either case, calling contentHeight won't change anything. However, if you want to set the container to be big enough vertically to fit all the text, you can get the contentBounds (call getContentBounds) and then resize it to the width and height of the content bounds. If you have more text than fits, you may need to call textFlow.flowComposer.composeToPosition() before calling getContentBounds to insure that all the text is composed first.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

I think you should use ContainerController.getContentBounds() to get the bounds and set the height from the returned Rectangle instead of using

contentHeight.  It's going to be the same value.

The container is a Flash Sprite object not a TLF object.  Setting width/height properties of a Sprite does indeed set the scaleX/scaleY.  If you don't want to scale the container its better to treat Sprite width/height properties as read-only.  I think the solution is to not set width/height of the Sprite but rather track desired width/height in separate variables perhaps by subclassing Sprite and set those values into TLF.

Hope that helps,
