Re: [flexcoders] Re: adding control bar to panel programitically

[Harish Sivaramakrishnan]

Calling createComponentsFromDescriptors () would invoke Panel'smethod which adds the ControlBar as the lastChild irrespective of the order in which it is added. Making an explicit call to the method will do the layouting for us.

            You can add the children in any order as long as you call this function at the end of adding all children    createComponentsFromDescriptors ();ThanksHarishPS: This works when you extend from Panel.

            Hello aaron,

i had the same problem recently...

you just have to change the order of you components when you add 
them to the panel, as far as i know the controlBar has to be the 
last one to be add in order to be under the white content area of 
the panel, try the following...

p.addChild( tb );
            cb.addChild( tb2 );
            p.addChild( cb );
            addChild( p );  

and ill work fine.
