I think we're in the 4.0.0.14173 area now. I'd definitely recommend downloading the latest nightly Flex 4 SDK build and using that instead.

SO the skinClass was not the problem - Thanks for your help! -Erik My mistake – it was a an s:filters tag that seemed to be skewing things – in the skinclass I had a drop shadow filter and when I removed that – it was not happening.

After some testing it looks like it has something to do with a skinClass I have that's in a skinnable container which is a parent of the VideoPlayer. Had some trouble posting code here using the ampersand l t ; etc.., so will try to do so in a separate reply. But the skinclass was actually based on http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/03/22/setting-a-background-image-on-an-fxapplication-in-flex-gumbo/ so it may well be something regarding an older SDK. (I had originally used modules but for testing put the video on the application level and got the same result. Just in case the blog won't accept it, this is my structure APPLICATION (Basic Layout) ** Group ****Group ******SkinninableContainer (with skinclass) **********VGroup **************VGroup *******************VideoPlayer When I take out the skinless the position of the VolumeBar is fine. Will try to post code now. I can figure out a workaround regardless, but will see what is up with the SDK version. Thanks again! Erik Thanks a lot, Peter – the SDK: 4.0.0.10485.

If so, can you please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ and include a simple test case. I've never seen this issue before, but I'm not sure if you're using modules or some nesting I've never tried. Thanks! Peter @Erik Hendin,

See home page link: http://www.chefsinthecity.net/. When I roll over the volume area of the video player it appears at the top left of the screen. It's as though the application is not recognizing the Group container's position that is containing my video player, so it's displaying the volume bar in the position as if the videoplayer were on the top left of the screen. Have you seen this bug before? I noticed in the VideoPlayer.as file, that there doesn't seem to be any reference to x and y positioning for the VolumeBar itself. My mxml is much stronger than my actionscript so I'm a little reserved about editing the VideoPlayer.as file. I also notice a reference to spark.skins.spark.mediaClasses.normal.VolumeBarSkin but I'm not sure how to access that or how to go about addressing this bug. Thanks, Erik Hi Peter,
