I don't see how that would help--I'd like to place the button on the lower-right of the container, 10 pixels from the bottom edge, and ten pixels from the right edge. I'm not even so much interested in getting this specific scenario to work (I suppose I could set horizontalAlign="right" on the panel to get what I want, which would also shift the form, but the form is constrained to be centered anyway), but I'd like to know why this isn't working as I would expect--what am I missing? It seems that if I set the button constraints like that, it should be 10px from the bottom and 10px from the right (unless, of course, other constraints come into play).

I've been doing a fair amount of Actionscript, and am now getting to do some mxml layout. I I have a component with a login control (this is the only child in the component, and the parent is a VBox with width and height set to 100%): <mx:Panel id="loginPanel"> <mx:Form id="loginForm" left="10" right="10" bottom="10" top="10"> <mx:FormHeading label="Welcome"/> <mx:FormItem label="User Name"> <mx:TextInput id="username"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Password"> <mx:TextInput id="password" displayAsPassword="true"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> <mx:Button label="Log in" click="handleLogin(event)" bottom="10" right="10"/> </mx:Panel> This does what I expect for the form, (it has a margin of 10px), but the button is clinging to the bottom left of the panel. I think I'm missing something. Any suggestions? -Maciek
