Flash Component Problem in D11

Question

I have a project where I am using flash component CheckBoxes.  I loaded them onto the screen and when I try to make the sprite width of each checkbox wider, the sprite seems to disappear on the stage. If I dont mess with the width, they display just fine and work correctly.
Is this a common error for flash components in director 11?  Is it even possible to use lingo to adjust a flash component's sprite width?
BTW - the setting of the Flash Component's sprite width occurs on an exitframe, not on a beginsprite
Any help or info to point me in the right direction woiuld be appreciated.
Thanks guys

I specifically asked you for a file with a single component and a script attached that demonstrated what you were reporting. I asked for this so that I didn't have to waste time wading through extraneous code trying to figure out what was at issue.
Your problem is that when you set the width, the height drops to zero. I don't know why. In a simple test case with a single component and a behavior attached that sets the sprite.width in the #beginSprite handler this doesn't happen - the width changes and the (original) height is maintained. Perhaps it's a consequence of makeScriptedSprite() - possibly because there is no sprite in place to start with, and therefore no original height to maintain.
Here is your script "SetStaticProp" with my amendments:
property pMyLinkInfo
property pSetMyFlashProps
property mySprite
on new me, iNum, bSetProps, lInfo
  mySprite = sprite(iNum)
  pSetMyFlashProps = bSetProps
  pMyLinkInfo = lInfo
  return me
end
on endSprite me
  mySprite = VOID
end
on exitFrame me
  if pSetMyFlashProps = 1 then
    mySprite.static = not (pMyLinkInfo.enabled)
    mySprite.label = pMyLinkInfo.name
    tHeight = mySprite.height
    mySprite.width = 160
    mySprite.height = tHeight
    pSetMyFlashProps = 0
  end if
end
and here is the amended fragment from your "Generate Link Instance" parent script:
  --****Next Line causes CheckBox to go missing********
  --  sprite(CheckBoxSnum).width = 160
  myScript = script("SetStaticProp").new( CheckBoxSnum, 1, duplicate(myInfo) )
  sprite(CheckBoxSnum).scriptInstanceList.add(myScript)
  gItemSelectionList.add(myInfo)
