That's bs! :: goes to find dang MC ::
Got it. You need to use localToGlobal, taking into account your lowest container. AND, you need to wait a frame since the Alert takes a while to init. So, something like (assuming yourMainForm is in a Canvas): function theAlert() { my_alert = Alert.show("something"); doLater(this, "onPos"); } function onPos() { var theX = yourMainForm.x + (yourMainForm.width / 2); var theY = yourMainForm.y + (yourMainForm.height / 2); theX -= my_alert.width / 2; theY -= my_alert.height / 2; var point = {}; point.x = theX; point.y = theY; theCanvas.localToGlobal(point); my_alert.move(point.x, point.y); } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Cascais" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Positioning Alert Ok… sorry for the late reply (my day seems to only have 12 hrs). I tried using the 4th parameter in show() and the results are exactly the same. You can see two screenshots here: http://www.cascais.cl/images/deletable/alertposition1.png http://www.cascais.cl/images/deletable/alertposition2.png The first one is using "this" as a parent reference, which has the same outcome when I use the accordion as a parent. The second is using no parent reference, which gives the same result as referencing the Application. I included another image that shows just about where the Alert should appear: http://www.cascais.cl/images/deletable/alertposition3.png Oh, and Jesse… Remind me to get you a beer next time we meet up. -- Daniel Cascais -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
