OK, glad you got it working. I didn't see those properties either.
FWIW: Your example had verticalAlign="bottom" which would force the hlist to the bottom but also was a factor in the images/movies moving up and down. I think you may want to use "absolute" layout and constraints. If you put real xml in your .xml file, you can load it via HTTPService instead of going through ExternalInterface. I had changed ImgViewer to look like this. It seems simpler as it reuses the same Image tag for both images and movies. You can remove centerImage() and use the align styles instead <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; backgroundAlpha="1.0" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" borderStyle="none" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import vo.MediaElement; import mx.effects.Fade; private var _me:MediaElement; [Bindable("mediaObjectChanged")] public function get mediaObject():MediaElement { return _me; } public function set mediaObject(me:MediaElement):void { _me = me; dispatchEvent(new Event("mediaObjectChanged")); } [Bindable("mediaObjectChanged")] public function get sourceURL():String { if (!_me) return ''; if (_me.imgSrc != '') return 'images/' + _me.imgSrc; return 'movies/' + _me.swfSrc; } public function centerImage():void { if (!imgCtrl.content) return; // if not as wide, center it imgCtrl.x = (width - imgCtrl.content.parent.width) / 2 } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Image id="imgCtrl" maintainAspectRatio="true" source="{sourceURL}" scaleContent="true" top="0" width="{width}" height="{height - 20}" updateComplete="centerImage()" completeEffect="Fade" /> <mx:Label id="captionLabel" text="{mediaObject.caption}" height="20" bottom="0" horizontalCenter="0" color="#FFFFFF"/> </mx:Canvas> ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of droponrcll Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 10:29 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: MultiPurpose ItemRenderer --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Don't forget, this is a free volunteer service, and not my real job.

I suppose it is comforting that it was more than a few minute fix for you, too. :-) But I found that the Image tag does, in fact, have a verticalAlign and horizontalAlign property, which fixes the problem quite handily! :-) Thanks!
