Gordon, this is the delema, I'm not modifing it. I am 'getting' it. I am 'modifying' viewmetrics to add the heights of added bars into the Window.

Oh well, sounds like it's something that I have backasswarded, I will figure it out.

Thanks for your time peoplz

Peace, Mike

Okay, this one:

    override public function get viewMetrics():EdgeMetrics
    {
         var v:EdgeMetrics = super.viewMetrics;
         var b:EdgeMetrics = borderMetrics;

         trace("viewMetrics", v.left)
         trace("borderMetrics", b.left)

        if (dragEnabled) {
             if (direction == "horizontal") {
                 v.left = draggerButton.width;
             } else {
                 v.top = draggerButton.height;
             }
         }
         return v;
    }


> There is something that is fishy. I am NOT changing border metrics
but, when I go to qeury it after viewMetrics has run, it holds the
actual viewMetrics values not the simple values of 1 or 2 for solid,
outset etc...

Not sure why that's happening (don't have access to source at the
moment), but could you try making a *copy* of viewMetrics instead of
modifying the value returned by super.viewMetrics?
