<p style='margin-left:72.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I'm
attempting to build a table using multiple text icons. I'm using individual
text icons for each cell in combination with drawBorder in a script icon. I've
been manually computing the y coordinate by adding the height of the previous
icon to the y coordinate of the previous icon. It's time consuming, and I'm
thinking there must be a better way. I've tried variations of
icon.previousSibling._y, but it seems to be returning 0 (or, more likely, undefined)
because it always ends up at y=0.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:72.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I've
currently got icon.previousSibling.attributes.y +
icon.previousSibling.attributes.h as the y property, but that makes the text
disappear completely (perhaps it's off the stage?). Do I just have the wrong
property, or is this because the properties of the previousSibling are unknown
when the next icon is encountered?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
