In the constuctor I am trying to create an ApplicationControlBar that is the same as this: <mx:ApplicationControlBar right="5" left="5" top="55" id="mainACB" /> I am having a problem with trying to create the same effect as right="5" and left="5". I assume that I need to put the x="5" (hence the left="5") and then do the math to find out the 'stage' size and subtract the other side (5) for the width. However what do I use to do the math? I tried Application.application.stage.width, but I keeping getting a null value error. How can I detect the size of the swf at 100%x100% and do the math or is there an easier way to do this. Didn't see a mainACB.right. Here is what I do have: var mainACB:ApplicationControlBar = new ApplicationControlBar(); mainACB.x = 5; mainACB.y = 65; mainACB.height = 30; mainACB.width = Application.application.stage.width - 5; Application.application.addChild(mainACB); Em can you not just add mainABC.setStyle("right","5") or am I missing something? I think that this is what you want? Regards, Wesley
