I'm pretty sure scrollrects are always positioned at 0,0. It essentially creates a mask of a certain size, positions it at 0,0, then only shows the pixels that would otherwise be displayed at x,y at 0,0

Wondering if anyone knows how to get the difference between the scrollRect x position relative to the components edges? I am building a pancontrol, similar to the ones found Google Maps or Yahoo Maps, for quick navigation. In order to setup my pancontrol I need to find out the following given this code: <Application... ...... <mx:Canvas id="compHolder" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" > <components:myComp id="vis" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" backgroundAlpha="0" scrollRect="{rec}" cacheAsBitmap="true" mouseUp="handleVisMouseUp()" /> </mx:Canvas> I need to find the distance or gap between the vis.scrollRect x&y position relative to the vis x&y position. My application width & height are 600 x 600. Vis width and height are 3000 x 900 so they extend off screen. I am using the scrollRect to limit what is viewable. But in order build my pancontrol I need to find the diff between the X & Y of the scrollRect in relation to the X&Y of the Vis. So how far off left, right, bottom, and top of the visible area does Vis extend. I need those numbers in pixels. TIA, J
