Hi, Thank you for the help but non of these methods seem to help. The repeater I use is in a canvas that sits in a tab navigator that sits in a vbox in an application. All in different components.
I have tried to open the dialog: var pt:Point = new Point(event.stageX, event.stageY); pt = event.target.contentToGlobal(pt); this.renameTagDlg.x = pt.x;// this.renameTagDlg.y = pt.y;// I've changed the contentToLocal to all 6 possibilities but none of them work. contentToGlobal,contentToLocal,globalToContent,globalToLocal,localToContent,localToGlobal I have even tried to get the X,Y of the mouse globalyy and just open the dialog there but that didn't work too. I think that jer_ela was on the right track but I just can subtract all the containers X & Y.
