Whoops, that should say:
someComponent.setStyle(“horizontalCenter”, 0);

Styles can be set in any number of ways in Flex - through an CSS stylesheet, in an mx:Style block, through the style manager and also with the setStyle() method provided on every UIComponent. So your example can be simplified even further to:

var someComponent:SomeComponent = new SomeComponent();
someComponent.setStyle('top', 10);
style.setStyle("horizontalCenter", 0);

and voila, your component will relayout anchored appropriately.

The UIComponent Class has a setStyle method which you can call directly.
