How to use Actionscript to specify Flex "fit to content"

Flex Builder defaults some components to "fit to content" if you don't specify a set width or height. I'm trying to fill a mx:Tile component with Actionscript, but the layout has some strange spacing when I don't specify the width of a component I add to it. Is there a way to set the components to "fit to content" using Actionscript?

Do you still need the tiles to align in columns/rows, or do you want them all to be fit-to-content? If you want the former, good luck, and I hope someone else can answer for my benefit. If you want the latter, you could use FlowContainer (which I got from Appdivision).

// AS3 way
var c:UIComponent = <your component that should fit into parent's content>;
c.percentWidth = 100;
c.percentHeight = 100;

// MXML way
<mx:Canvas>
   <mx:Button id="c" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</mx:Canvas>
