Menus get parented by the systemManager so you have to translate to its coordinate space var pt = new Point(0,0); pt = linkButton.localToGlobal(pt) menu.show(pt.x, pt.y)

I thought I could use the link buttons x y (minus the height and width of the button) to position the menu in the middle under the button but it is not working. The LinkButton is a child of an HBox and its x y is always 0. I have been able to position the menu where the mouse x,y at time of click was (using Application.application.mouseX,Y) but I would prefer to have the menu always show at the same position relative to the button. Does anyone know how I can do this? Cheers, Greg
