You'll want to create a method that does something like this: var target:Point = localToGlobal( new Point( hbox.x, hbox.y ) ); popup.move( target.x, target.y );
Call the method after you add the popup and when the container is scrolled. In some cases localToContent is more appropriate. -TH --- In [email protected], "s_grollins" <s.groll...@...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to work out a specific problem I'm having with positioning in Flex > using the PopUpManager.
