Plenty of other folks have had the same frustration in Flex so you're not alone. We'll close out the bug when it gets over here. It probably should have been filed against Flex SDK instead of Apollo.

My husband has been sitting over there laughing at me cussing a blue streak. I went back to Matt Chotin's example and saw that it worked regardless of the different image sizes, so I looked again at his code. In the Image tag I found this text: verticalAlign="bottom" horizontalAlign="center" So it appears these properties have existed since at least FB 2 but they are not documented and do not appear in code hinting. If this post helps one other person struggling with this issue, I feel this entire week or so I have spent wrestling with this problem will have been worth it. Thanks for your patience, Alex, and for being a good sport through all my frustration! -Amy
