Interesting question:
package com.ipauland.view
{
import mx.containers.Panel;
public class TestPanel extends Panel
{
public function TestPanel()
{
super();
}
}
}
package com.ipauland.view
{
import mx.containers.VBox;
public class TestVBox extends VBox
{
public function TestVBox()
{
super();
}
}
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
xmlns:cont="com.ipauland.view.*" height="404" xmlns:comp="comp.*">
<cont:TestPanel x="20" y="10" width="250" height="268">
<cont:TestVBox borderColor="0xFF0000" borderThickness="20"
borderStyle="solid" x="10" y="20" >
<mx:Button label="button1" />
<mx:Button label="button2" />
</cont:TestVBox>
</cont:TestPanel>
<mx:Panel x="296" y="10" width="250" height="268" layout="absolute">
<cont:TestVBox borderColor="0xFF0000" borderThickness="20"
borderStyle="solid" x="38" y="31">
<mx:Button label="button1" />
<mx:Button label="button2" />
</cont:TestVBox>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
Flex completely ignores the x,y position inside my TestPanel.
Hmm.
