SharedWhiteBoard properties toolbar initialisation problem

Question

hey guys
ive got me a whiteboard here that i need to scale so one of the things i'm doing with it is adding the various toolbars to extenal canvases once they get added to the whiteboard so they aren't scaled with the whiteboard, in the way documented here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429196
which, as you'll see, is the technique nigel himself recommends.
so in order to remove the properties toolbars from the whiteboard i've got this listener & method:
_whiteBoard.addEventListener(
    WBCanvasEvent.PROPERTIES_TOOLBAR_ADD,
    _onWhiteBoardPropertiesToolBarAdded
private function _onWhiteBoardPropertiesToolBarAdded (event:WBCanvasEvent):void
    _currentPropertiesPopUp = _whiteBoard.currentPropertiesToolBar as UIComponent;
    meetingRoom.whiteBoardContainer.addChild(_currentPropertiesPopUp);
the problem IS that the props toolbars in question aren't properly initialised before this listener method is called. have a look at the tow attached images. the first is the visual result the first time the above method is called on the 'highlight recttangle tool', the second the second time it is called. as you can see, the second time is much the better result.
incidentally, i was listening to this whilst making this forum post:

Hi Dubya,
Can you add _currentPropertiesPopUp.validateNow(); in your _onWhiteBoardPropertiesToolBarAdded method.
private function _onWhiteBoardPropertiesToolBarAdded (event:WBCanvasEvent):void
    _currentPropertiesPopUp = _whiteBoard.currentPropertiesToolBar as UIComponent;
    _currentPropertiesPopUp.validateNow();
    meetingRoom.whiteBoardContainer.addChild(_currentPropertiesPopUp);
Hopefully this should resolve your issue ( Idea ofcourse stolen from the existing code base ).
Also seems like the property bar is overlapping the toolbar. You can save the X & Y co-ordinates of the ToolBar and move ur properties bar (ex. _currentPropertiesPopUp.move(_toolBar.x+_toolBar.width+2, _toolBar.y) )
Thanks
