Hi,

I am trying to get the Position of an element on the screen and store in JavaScript, is there I a way I can reference it like the DOM in html.

Supposing my element is:

How do I do something like Rect.Position, or getElementByName(Rect).Position in Fuse JavaScript?

I checked the link out and it seems the Placed Event only fires when the Element’s position is changed… What I want to do is get the position when the page loads.

Any way I can do this?

Did you test it? It should fire also on the first layout.
