Problem with automated height/width after applying effect

Question

Hey guys,
I have a panel that automatically resizes after some other contents is being added. All the time there is a scale-effect. Whenever I move the mouse over any of those children they zoom in and there the height & width of the parent container automatically resizes.
However I have a minimize button for that one along with a resize effect. I can resize the complete container to a minimize size (e.g. 40x40), but when I resize back with the same effect, the panel does not automatically resizes with added children anymore.
I did not set any special properties on the panel from the beginning, but some property must be different now. It is not "autoLayout" and also the "percentageWidth/Height" does not work properly as that command will cause the panel to stretch over the complete stage. Any suggestions here?

Mmmh...that does not seem to solve the issue for me. Even when setting the width and height to NaN before the effect is played, it will still lead to a fixed height and width of the parent panel container. When I add new children the parent container is not properly resized, means that the chiildren just go beyond the parent container's border.
Setting these parameters after the effect is done leads to the following crash: ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

Here is my code...anything wrong here.
private function recreateWindow(e:MouseEvent)//thrown once the user moves his mouse over the minimized panel
     myResizeEffect.heightFrom = 40;
     myResizeEffect.heightFrom = 40;
     myResizeEffect.heightFrom = lastHeight;
     myResizeEffect.heightFrom = lastWidth;
     myResizeEffect.play();
     myResizeEffect.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,resetMinimizeValues);
private function resetMinimizeValues(event:EffectEvent):void
     myResizeEffect.removeEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,resetMinimizeValues);
     //adding the old listeners before the panel was minimized
     this.width = NaN;//crash
     this.height = NaN;//crash
Any suggestions?
...and how can I remove the "Question answered"-tag...?
