Constraints should work in a application parent container. Are you certain that the application is resizing correctly? Set up a onResize listener for debugging purposes and make sure it is getting fired on browser resize.
If it is, and constraints are still not woking, then you can use that listener to reposition you component. Here is an example that positions a popup component on application resize, it should help if you need to go the manual route.

I think the better way is to anchor my component manually :-( Share your thoughts. dennis ...we are what we are doing... P Think! before you print.

Either extend one of those for your component, or size and position your child component manually.

Any other suggestion how to anchor an UIComponent object? dennis From: dennis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 19, 2009 12:12 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [SPAM] RE: [flexcoders] Re: constraintColumns/constraintRows on extended Sprite object REFdn6025643069 Hi Tracy. I hope you are ok. I do the follow: var d:PanelGradient=new PanelGradient(0,0,stg.width/2,stg.height/2,30,30,stg.width/2*1.5,stg.width/2 *1.5); d.setStyle("right",10); d.setStyle("bottom",10); addChild(d); In the above code, setting the "right" and "bottom", I expect, in case of resizing the browser, the PanelGrandient must be kept anchored in the right bottom corner. What I do wrong? p.s. The PanelGradient extends the UIComponent and in real is a container of a Shape with a matrix. dennis ...we are what we are doing... P Think! before you print.

So to use constraints in AS, you need to define them in a style sheet, and/or use setStyle().

I work only with AS, I mean with no MXML. I tried to use the Canvas container but using the mx.containers.Canvas, there is no right property (even top, bottom, left).
