Thanks Ely! My thoughts exactly :) I just wanted to ask you first, before investing time into an alternate solution. That xOffset and yOffset would be a pretty cool addition to your future versions of SuperImage. Either way, you did a WONDERFUL job on this component. Just adding the Border and DropShadow properties, you increased the value of SuperImage versus the standard Image Component, by 10-fold... Thank you for sharing this component with the community, as well as everything else you've put out there. You are a very good programmer - I can tell just by examining your source-code - it's well thought out, clean, easy to read and most important, quite functional. Take care and thank you :) Mike

There is a _content property in the SuperImage, which is essentially the same as the Image.content property. However, the SuperImage actively maintains the size and position of the content, so I don't think you can guarantee that changes you make to its position will stick. So, two options: 1) Grab the source, and make the modifications you need. An 'offset' might be a nice property to add, and something we could integrate back into the main source. 2) Wrap the Super Image in a Canvas. And move the SUperImage around inside the canvas instead.

With the standard Flex Image Component, I can move the Content around inside the container, independent of the container itself. I do this quite often, if I have an Image that is quite large - and has a lot of extraneous background stuff that I don't want to be displayed. With the Flex Image, I size & place the container where I need it to be - then I move & scale the Content around within the container - in order to show only the parts that I want. The SuperImage Component doesn't have a Content Property - so this leads me to believe, that I can't perform the same functions as the Image. Is this the right assumption to make? If so, does anybody have any further ideas, on how I can get more control over the content when using the SuperImage? Thanks in advance, for any information offered on this topic. Mike
