RESIZE delay?

Hello,

I have a file in which I use this stage resize function. However if I resize really fast (like maximize button) it doesn't resize the Timeline.

Code:

---

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resizeStage);

private function resizeStage(e:Event):void
                {
                        resetVideo();
                        _controlbar.resetControlBar(stage.stageWidth);
                       
                        _barlength = _clickbar.width;
                        _levelstart = _level.x;
                       
                        _Controls.y = stage.stageHeight-BAR_HEIGHT;
                }

                public function resetControlBar(_width:int):void
                {
                        // get all properties
                        _basics = Shape(mcControlBar.getChildByName("_basics"));
                        _controls = MovieClip(mcControlBar.getChildByName("_controls"));
                        _volumebar = MovieClip(mcControlBar.getChildByName("_volume"));
                        _timebar = MovieClip(mcControlBar.getChildByName("_timeline"));
                       
                        // resize the basic shape
                        _basics.width = _width;
                       
                        resetControls(_width);
                        resetTimeline(_width);
                }
               
                private function resetControls(_width:int)
                {
                        // resize the controls
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x = _width-(_volumebar.getChildByName("_base").width+PADDING);
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_level").x = _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x+1;
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_clickbar").x = _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x+1;
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_scrub").x = _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x;
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_mute").x = _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x-_volumebar.getChildByName("_mute").width-PADDING;
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_unmute").x = _volumebar.getChildByName("_base").x-_volumebar.getChildByName("_unmute").width-PADDING;
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_line").x = (_volumebar.getChildByName("_mute").x-PADDING);
                        _volumebar.getChildByName("_line2").x = (_volumebar.getChildByName("_mute").x-PADDING)-1;
                       
                        // resize the timeline
                        _volumestart = (_volumebar.getChildByName("_mute").x-PADDING);
                }
               
                private function resetTimeline(_width:int)
                {       
                        var _shapewidth:int = _width-(_play.x+_play.width+PADDING);
                        _shapewidth-= _width-_timedisplay.x+PADDING;
                       
                        // dynamic bars
                        var _bwidth:int = _shapewidth-2;
                       
                        _timebar.getChildByName("_timedisplay").x = _volumestart-_timebar.getChildByName("_timedisplay").width-PADDING;
                        _timebar.getChildByName("_base").width = _shapewidth;
                       
                        var _click:MovieClip = MovieClip(_timebar.getChildByName("_clickbar"));
                        var _child:Shape = Shape(_click.getChildAt(0));
                        _click.removeChild(_child);
                        // the shape
                        var _clickshape:Shape = new Shape();
                        _clickshape.graphics.beginFill(SEC_COLOR);
                        _clickshape.graphics.drawRect(0,0,_bwidth,_timebar.getChildByName("_progress").height);
                        _clickshape.graphics.endFill();
                        _click.addChild(_clickshape);
                }

So to be exactly this part stays behind (oddly enough it does set the _timedisplay on the right spot):

Code:

---

_timebar.getChildByName("_base").width = _shapewidth;
                       
                        var _click:MovieClip = MovieClip(_timebar.getChildByName("_clickbar"));
                        var _child:Shape = Shape(_click.getChildAt(0));
                        _click.removeChild(_child);
                        // the shape
                        var _clickshape:Shape = new Shape();
                        _clickshape.graphics.beginFill(SEC_COLOR);
                        _clickshape.graphics.drawRect(0,0,_bwidth,_timebar.getChildByName("_progress").height);
                        _clickshape.graphics.endFill();
                        _click.addChild(_clickshape);

Is there a way to solve this (without using a timer)?

Thank you

I have never had this problem with the resize event. I don't think a timer is going to help. Are you sure the resizeStage function is not being called, or that stage.stageWidth is returning an incorrect value? Also, I don't see the following stage props being set anywhere in your code, which is crucial for a liquid layout:

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

I have those declared. I figured out I declared the _shapewidth var too soon. - it is fixed now. Thank you anyway :)
