Issue with .getLocalBounds() ?

[VirtualVirgin]

I'm having a strange issue where .getLocalBounds() is returning "0" for x when the component is clearly not located at x 0.

Here the panel is located at x 100:

And here I get the local bounds and print:

And the console says x is 0:

Any ideas on how that would be?
There is nothing changing the x position in the script and on compile the panel is located at x 100.

getLocalBounds will always return 0 for the x and y because it's the "local" bounds, not the global position on the UI.

You either want .get("x") or .getGlobalPositionX() depending on what you need.

@d-healey Thanks. I thought "getLocalBounds()" would get the x and y from the parent component x and y , not the global x.
