Hi Ben -- Here's what I have: Application BaseContainer, which extends VBox and contains a viewstack (each of the maps is a canvas in the viewstack)
So then for each map itself I've got this: <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> <mx:Image width="100%" height="100%" source="com/alandalus/assets/images/wideMap.jpg" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="true"/> <mx:Image id="line" source="com/alandalus/assets/images/5line100percent.png" alpha=".5"/> <mx:Button icon="@Embed (source='com/alandalus/assets/images/history.jpg')" x="255" y="373" width="42" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true" mouseOver="line.alpha=1" mouseOut="line.alpha=.5" click="playMP3()" toolTip="Click to Play Audio"/> </mx:Canvas> Thanks, David --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Ben Throop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey David... > > How are things currently laid out and in what container?
