How to scroll to a flowelemnt

My question is quite simple: I retrieve a FlowElement instance by calling getElementById() on a textflow, now what I'd like to find out is the position of this flowelement, so I can call scrollToPosition() on an IContainerController instance.
What should I use to find out the required position for a given FlowElement?

thanks a lot in advance!

Correct answer rdermer
The position you want is flowElement.getAbsolutePosition(). That will scroll the very beginning of the element into view.

hi there,

There's no getAbsolutePosition() method, but I'm sure you meant getAbsoluteStart() :) So, thank you very much, this did save me a bunch of time of trial and error.

cheers!
