    So I have a panel with 2 text elements and I want to set their position relative to their parent in a script , however my script isn't setting the position right : / Link for reference ... http://imgur.com/CJveSbG

    what's the correct way of positioning a text element relative to it's parent?

    Sorry for so many questions lately , but this UI stuff is pretty new for me

    after some extensive googling and fiddling around with the anchors of my text elements if got it working :D
    solution was to use drag the anchors of the text element to the corners of the parent element and set the pivot to the bottom left
