There are some reasonable approaches for some of things your looking for in CSS.
For X and Y positioning, you can use the CSS values Left, Right, Top, and Bottom to specify the pixels distance. For height, for controls like button, you can use your CSS paddings to, in a sense, define the height. For example, a button, setting PaddingTop and Padding Bottom will create a consistent height for buttons across all buttons with that styleName. You can play around with paddingTop and paddingBottom until you get the desired height ( http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExplorer. html) and use that to define height. -peter On 11/2/06 2:47 PM, "Brian Deitte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is there any thoughts on having x, y, width, and height in CSS?
