Here is a sample app which does what you describe.

Hi,
Thank you for the help but non of these methods seem to help.
The repeater I use is in a canvas that sits in a tab navigator that
sits in a vbox in an application.
All in different components.
I have tried to open the dialog:
var pt:Point = new Point(event.stageX, event.stageY);
pt = event.target.contentToGlobal(pt);
this.renameTagDlg.x = pt.x;//
this.renameTagDlg.y = pt.y;//
I've changed the contentToLocal to all 6 possibilities but none of
them work.
contentToGlobal,contentToLocal,globalToContent,globalToLocal,localToCont
ent,localToGlobal
I have even tried to get the X,Y of the mouse globalyy and just open
the dialog there but that didn't work too.
I think that jer_ela was on the right track but I just can subtract
all the containers X Y.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.

or if your container uses absolute positioning you would need to use
contentToGlobal

Hey you might want to also look into localToGlobal
I.e
var comp : UIComponent = UIComponent(
event.target ); var point : Point = comp.localToGlobal(
new Point( comp.x, comp.y ) ); trace( point.x + : +
point.y );

The following code gets the x and y positions of an

Getting the coords
for a button should be pretty much the same.
stageX and Y are the x and y coords of the mouse
position relative to
the application stage. mainCanvas is a direct child of
the application
and is the container that I want the coords relative to.
If you have
additional containers between the stage and the one you
need coords
relative to, you have to subtract the x and y at each
level to get
from stage coords to that container's coords.
Subtracting the mouseX
and Y moves the coords from the point or the click to
the upper left
corner of the image.
selectedImage.x = event[stageX] - mainCanvas.x
- event.currentTarget.mouseX;
selectedImage.y = event[stageY] - mainCanvas.y
- event.currentTarget.mouseY;

Hi,
In my app I create a repeater the generats VBoxes each
with button
in it.
When the user clicks on the button I want to generate
a small dialog
that will open up under the button
