Description

Reproduction Scenario #1 (call setSize from mouseOver event):
1. Load the bugfile bugresizemouseover.swf
2. Mouse over the title bar of the Alert.
source for bugfile:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="600" height="600"
creationComplete="runTests()">

<mx:Script>
var a1:Alert;
function runTests() {
a1=Alert.show('I am an alert that zooms', 'showEffect test');
a1.addEventListener("mouseOver", resizeAlert);
}

function resizeAlert(event:Event)

{ event.target.setSize(250,300); }

</mx:Script>
<mx:Text width="300" fontSize="15" text="Alert - setSize" />
<mx:Text text="Mouse over the alert and watch it resize." width="400" />

</mx:Application>


Actual Results: The Alert resizes to the right size, but the message text and OK button are gone. The whole alert is just gray.

Reproduction Scenario #2 (call setSize from keyDown event):
1. Load the bugfile "bugResizekeydown.swf"
2. Press any key except the spacebar.
source for bugfile:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="600" height="600"
creationComplete="runTests()">

<mx:Script>
var a1:Alert;
function runTests() {
a1=Alert.show('I am an alert that zooms', 'showEffect test');
a1.addEventListener("keyDown", resizeAlert);
}

function resizeAlert(event:Event) { event.target.setSize(250,300); }

</mx:Script>
<mx:Text width="300" fontSize="15" text="Alert - setSize" />
<mx:Text text="Press any key and watch the alert resize." width="400" />

</mx:Application>

Actual Results: The Alert does not resize, but all of the contents can no longer be seen, you just see a halo green line.

Expected Results: In both scenarios, the Alert should have resized to 250x300.
