Hi, I'm trying to get the bounding rectangle for a TextArea widget. e.g. =>
<mx:TextArea id="textArea"/> In AS => var r:Rectangle = textArea.getVisibleRect(); specifically, I am interested in consistently getting the top-left point of the the rectangle: var p:Point = r.topLeft; Most of the time this works as expected, but every now and again, depending on browser re-size, the topLeft point is actually calculated/returned as the topRight point. I need to anchor a tool tip at this point, and if it returns the top right coordinates, the tool tip is off the screen and unreadable. This seems like a fairly simple task, but the API isn't very clear to me here. For example, if I hover over the getVisibleRect( ) function it tells me it comes from mx.core.UIComponent, but I don't even see that listed on asdoc: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/core/UIComponent.html Is there a consistent way to calculate this? Thanks in advance, Davis
