Bounds invalidation in TextField should affect parent

[Niel Drummond]

Hello,

I have a layout manager class that I use to dynamically position multiple elements and I need to get the correct width vals from each member. The problem I have is as follows: I have a Sprite into which I have added a TextField. If I trace out the width of the TextField it comes out as (e.g.) 130 BUT if I trace out the width of the parent Sprite it comes out as 0. Is this a fixable behaviour in Jeash? Are there similar behaviours I am going to encounter as I refactor my AS3 project to the html5 target?

Much thanks!

Sam

Test Case:

                var parent = new Sprite();

                var text = new TextField();
                text.text = "bounds invalidation test.";

                parent.addChild(text);

                assertEquals(text.width, parent.width);
                assertEquals(0., text.x);
