getBounds doesn't really help, as I'm also tracing it, and it doesn't seem
to change one way or the other. (same
with getRect)
to Bernard: I have tried using localToGlobal and the other variant, but no
matter what I do
it doesn't really change values somehow (or maybe i'm doing it wrong). Could
you post
an example as to where, in the boxscaling example, localtoglobal actually
outputs
something different than say the common _x coordinate?
Actually the bigger scope of the problem is finding out the positions of
movieclips within a
parent movieclip which is scaled, I've twidled with some options, but none
seem to work :(.
and to Mark: I didn't actually mean to sound sarcastic, I really did thought
that perhaps
using the coordinates of the centerpoint in the algorithm would do something
meaningfull,
but alas, it didnt, but no hard feelings :).
thanks for the help,
Meinte
