CCTextFieldTTF does not give correct dimension or content size

@
if (!*description) {
*description = CCLabelTTF::create(“”, “Arial”, 100*MULTIPLIER);
}
if(*description){
*description~~>setHorizontalAlignment;
*description~~>setString;
_description~~>setContentSize);
CCLOG ("\nDimension: %f %f\nSize: %f %f",_description->getDimensions().width,*description~~>getDimensions().height,_description~~>getContentSize.width,_description~~>getContentSize().height);
}
@
it gives me
@
Dimension: 0.000000 0.000000
Size: 1748.000000 0.000000
@
is this a bug or i am doing something wrong?
