Kobe,
One thing that I found (and continue to find helpful) when trying to figure out how to set "things" for an object is to refer to Adobe's LiveDocs (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html). If the "thing" you want to set is found in the "properties" table for the class in question you will not be able to set that property via a style sheet or in Action Script via the setStyle() method. The class will typically provide setters and getters for these properties. Additionally, you can bind the property value. If the "thing" you want to set is found in the "styles" table, then it is a style item and you can use a style sheet, setStyle() etc. for setting the value of that style.

You can try using constraints IE top,left,bottom,right.
