Flex 4 map.addChild(element) with constraints

[LukeEvans]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to add a couple of things (north arrow and copyright information) as children of a Map object.  The north arrow and copyright info components both have constraint values set.  I've tried using

setConstraintValue("bottom", 40) and bottom = 40 for these but to no effect.  The child items just get added at 0,0 it seems.  I can specifically set the x and y values of these and it will move them but that's not really ideal.

Can anyone suggest where I may be going wrong?

Thanks

Luke

Try adding the objects to map.staticLayer

map.staticLayer.addElement(component)

I show an example here adding lat/long coordinates

The docs for Map state, "StaticLayer is useful for adding legends, logos and other items that should not be moved when the map is panned or zoomed."

That should work.
