I have 3 files. 2 actionscript files and a html file. I want the image to show up at the 0 X coordinate. It shows up at a non-zero position in the browser (firefox 3.\*) after I compile everything with flex SDK and run the html file. BUG with flex? The embedded png image is 1019 pixels wide. What’s going on? Attached is a picture of what I see in firefox.

package  
{  
// first file.  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.display.Bitmap;  
[SWF(width=“1019”, height=“15”)]  
public class myblackRectangle extends Sprite  
{  
[Embed(source=“images/mybar.png”)]  
private var rectangleImage:Class;

```
    public function myblackRectangle()
    {
    var aSprite= new rectangleImage();
    addChild(aSprite);
    }
}

```

}

package  
{  
// Adds the sprite defined in first file as a child to this sprite.  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import myblackRectangle;

```
public class mycanvas extends Sprite
{
    public function mycanvas()
    {

       var aSprite = new myblackRectangle();
       aSprite.x = 0; // WTFreak is going on? 
                           //the sprite shows up in                           
                            //middle of the swf
       aSprite.y = 0; 
        addChild(aSprite);
    }
}

```

}

finally, the basic html embedding stuff.
