Mark,
I've tried VBox with the same results. How do I "auto-arrange" the
children so I don't have to worry about the Y coordinate? I'de like
to just call addChild() for all of my components. I tried the following
var myVBox:VBox = new VBox();
myVBox.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#FFFFFF');
myVBox.autoLayout = true;
myVBox.creationPolicy = 'auto';
What am I missing? Is it because I'm creating the VBox control in
actionscript instead of in the mxml code?
Thanks
Tony
