That's bs!

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);
}

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/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:

Oh, and Jesse… Remind me to get you a beer next time we meet up.
