[FLEX-13606] Application: Run time changes to width/height are not executed as expected.

• Type: Bug

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the width and height of the Application to X pixels (where X is some number < Y).
2. Once the application is loaded, set width = Y and height = Y.

Actual Results:
If Y > X, then only a portion of the application is visible (as the size of the embedded application window in the browser does not change). Using percentWidth/percentHeight causes changes relative to the size of the application at startup (not relative to the browser window). This issue is seen with both percentage and pixel based width / height.

Expected Results:
Embedded application in window would change size.

Workaround (if any):
Set the application.width and application.height as well as use ExternalInterface/JavaScript to change the HTML container's width/height.
I modified the index.template.html template in Flex Builder and added the following code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setFlexContainerSize(w,h) {
window.${application}.width = w;
window.${application}.height = h;
}
</script>
