Why is a Spark TextArea tiny, when a Height and Width are set?

Without knowing any of the surrounding mxml, you may want to set width and height to 100%. If that doesn't work, post some more of your mxml and we'll try to figure it out. Hope that helps.

As you said, this is a problem with the graphite textarea skin. I created a new skinClass for my textarea(based on graphite text area skin). And replaced the scroller and richeditabletext with the Spark text area ones.

And added textAlign = "left". And it started working fine. Let me know if this helped.

Thanks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
