>From the docs for IGraphicElement: "Group organizes its IGraphicElement children in sequences that share and draw to the same DisplayObject. The DisplayObject is created by the first element in the sequence."

I am sure this DisplayObject is subject to the behaviors of the layout of the Group, as in BasicLayout vs. VerticalLayout, just like any other child of the Group. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Florian" <florian.saliho...@...> wrote: > > Ah, thanx. that clearifies a lot.
