Hi, You can get the width/height of root element using width/height variable in the same file(scope).
Assuming Canvas is root element of LoginView.mxml: <mx:Canvas width="600" height="600" xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Panel id="AOPScheduler" title="Login" dropShadow="true" x="{width/2} "/> </mx:Canvas> -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Morphis Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] centering a form.... I'm trying to center a form within a Canvas which is within a Panel. We're using multiple MXML files. I've got a loginView.mxml file and a main.mxml files. On the main.mxml file we use a panel and a viewstack to display the login and main views. Within the loginView.mxml page we have a Canvas, Panel and Form. I'm needing to center the Panel within the Canvas on the same file or utilize a control from the main.mxml file. I've tried to put the id field in the canvas but get errors... Error /com/alltel/rapid/aopscheduler/view/LoginView.mxml:6 id is not allowed on root node Is this possible to get the width of one of the other controls to use? I was thinking something like.. <mx:Panel id="AOPScheduler" title="Login" dropShadow="true" x=" { main.mainPanel.width - AOPScheduler.width / 2 } "> and then repeating the process for height for the y attribute.
