I think I understand what you're asking, but I might miss. Have you
tried making your lnotification component and then just popping it up
using PopUpManager? As far as I'm aware, anything that's popped up with
PopUpManager shouldn't move when the user scrolls, resizes the browser,
etc. You can pull some ideas from my callout component if that would
help: http://aaronhardy.com/flex/advanced-callout-component/
If you're talking about anchoring your trigger button (the button that
pops up the tooltip), then that's different. Make sure your main
application is set to absolute layout, then set your button's bottom
property like so: bottom=0. Here's an example:
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Button bottom=0 label=show popup/
/mx:Application
That will always keep it at the bottom of your application.

Hello Everyone,
I want to create a notification icon like the the red one in the
bottom right-hand corner of Facebook. I tried using a ToolTipManager
to create a tooltip but since Tooltips appear in their own layer in
Flex and, as far as I am able to figure, cannot be anchored to any
part of the page. When the user uses the browser's scrollbar, they move.
Thank you in advance for any assistance,
Orville
