Dynamically Move Scalebar

Is there a way to dynamically move the scalebar to another location?

Thanks,
Glen

Not sure what you mean by dynamically, but this thread shows how to move the scale bar.

Thanks for the info Rhett. I have seen that for positioning.

By dynamically -- I have the scalebar in the bottom left of the map. A sliding panel moves over it and obscures it. I'd like to be able to move the scalebar x pixels to the right when the panel is open, and put it back when the panel is closed.

Thanks,
Glen

Here's a sample that shows how to get the style and change it at runtime:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"                xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags">      <fx:Script>         <![CDATA[             private function updateScaleBarPostion(leftValue:Number):void             {                 var style:CSSStyleDeclaration = styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("com.esri.ags.components.ScaleBar");                 style.setStyle("left", leftValue);             }         ]]>     </fx:Script>      <s:controlBarContent>         <s:Button click="updateScaleBarPostion(200)" label="Move ScaleBar"/>         <s:Button click="updateScaleBarPostion(5)" label="Reset ScaleBar"/>     </s:controlBarContent>      <esri:Map level="3">         <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer/>     </esri:Map>  </s:Application>

Thanks Dasa -- that was what I was looking for.
