Hi Arjun, You need to provide those attributes to Panel's container. For example, if your Panel is in Application container, you can set Application's horizontalAlign=true (defualt) & verticalAlign=true..
###info.mxml### <mx:Application width="800" height="600" xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" initialize="appInit()" verticalAlign="middle"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function appInit() { } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="300" height="150" dropShadow="true" horizontalAlign="center" panelBorderStyle="roundCorners" verticalAlign="middle" title="Sign In"> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> Hope that helps... -abdul -----Original Message----- From: Arjun [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 5:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Aligining a panel Hello I want show a panel that is centered in my application, but not sure how to do it, basically i have created a seprate .mxml file that displays some data which i need to vertically and horizontaly align to center, even though i have provided both the attributes in the panel component i am still not able to achive the desired functionality any help/sample would be appreciated. horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" info.mxml <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="300" height="150" dropShadow="true" horizontalAlign="center" panelBorderStyle="roundCorners" verticalAlign="middle" title="Sign In"> blah.... </mx:Panel> Thanks Arjun Yahoo!
