 Not exactly sure why using left/right/top/bottom constraints didn't work on 
 the bottom HGroup, but feel free to file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ 
 and Adobe can look into it.

I don't think this is bug because using top,left, right and bottom
properties would need a layout that uses absolute positioning, while
vertical, horizontal and tail layout are automatic layouts and don't use
absolute positioning.

I was actually using an absolute layout container, when I first noticed the 
problem. 
I'm not planning to file a bug. I'm still new to flex4 skinning. So was 
probably using it incorrectly.

Any way, since posting my orginal question I found s:BorderContainer to be a 
better candidate in what I want to achieve.


Flex4 skinning is very powerful and I have already been able to achieve 
something I couldnt do in Flex3.

thanks
