And after 2nd try, I need to update previous post info.

The value of width, contentWidth, contentHeight will be sent in following order to updatecomplete event procedure:

1st time: 0, 0, 0
2nd time: (correct value), 0, 0
3rd time: (correct value), (correct value), (correct value)

Thanks, your article is quite helpful! After trying the updatecomplete event, I found the 1st call to updatecomplete will present value 0 for width, height, contentWidth & contentHeight. One has to write code to prevent this case.

John, thanks for comment. I know there are better ways… but my intention was to write every event in order to really see the event types in the code and in what order those are triggered.

” hope you won’t be offended by the fact that I created one event method for each event type instead of having just one method and “switching” for the type inside it. ”

No, but you might save 1 page of space and write the debug output messages in 1 line
private function handleEvent(e:Event):void
{
_debug += e.type+”\n”;
}
No harm intended.
Cheers.
