Handle the DateField's "open" event and set the position of its dropdown. The dropdown property is in the mx_internal namespace (which means it is subject to change without notice) but you can stil access it.

A DateField pops up its DateChooser in a location relative to the DateField.

In what sense do these appear to be missing? I see them in the Language Reference as inherited properties. - Gordon ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lincoln Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 4:03 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] DateChooser X and Y? There appears to be no x and y attributes for this component but is it still possible to define exactly where the DateChooser will appear? Linc
