How to correctly resize a component after loading using SWFLoader

Question

In an app, I load SWFs into an AIR app, which manages them.
The AIR app loads the SWF, then creates a 'master' component, which
manages the loaded SWF. 'manages' means resize, move or provide
persisted preference values.
My own test Flex SWFs work OK, while another SWF does not.
Here's a screenhot:

Note, that only some part of the loaded Clock resized
correctly.
The actual resize is done like this:
quote:
public function resize( newW:int, newH:int ):void {
var loadedSM:SystemManager = SystemManager( ( _inner as
SWFLoader ).content );
if ( ( null != _inner )
&& ( null != loadedSM )
&& ( null != loadedSM.application )
// BindingUtils.bindProperty( lblFromRemote, "text",
loadedSM.application, '_outChannel' );
// loadedSM.application[ 'inChannel' ] = 'New';
loadedSM.application[ 'width' ] = newW-20;
loadedSM.application[ 'height' ] = newH-20;
this.width = newW;
this.height = newH;
_inner.invalidateSize();
drawHandles();
If the Air app finishes loading the SWF, the master component
attaches a method to the managed SWF:
(_inner as UIComponent).addEventListener( Event.RENDER,
fixSizes );
Actually, Clock sample does not resize as expected at the
first time it appears.
Once the Clock is on stage, and I resize it using the mouse,
it resized as expected.
Could someone provide a hint?

maybe you need to calculate scaleX, scaleY instead?
