Hi all,  
I have the following case:  
VERSION 1  
// var r:Rectangle = UIComponent(rectangle).getBounds(bigCanvas));  
// var p:Point = UIComponent(bigCanvas).localToContent(r.topLeft);

VERSION 2  
var p:Point = UIComponent(rectangle.parent).contentToGlobal(new Point(figure.x, figure.y));  
p = UIComponent(bigCanvas).globalToContent§;

just for info: bigCanvas is the canvas where the rectangle is draw.

Do you have any idea, why, though the 2 codes are equivalent, the result is not the same? (for VERSION 1 the border of the menu is drawn 2px and semi-transparent)  
)

Thanks,  
Stephanie
