I cross posted to the Fuse list and got an answer...
Unless you quote the value it should be absolute not relative you are right. (btw you can use scale:90 to do both at once)
AHH! well, that's probably it then, as these values are currently coming from an XML doc! I tried the values hard coded into my class and it worked flawlessly! Which leads me to my next point. I have in my xml: <region name="Europe" ref="EU" X="-1074" Y="-354" Width="2860" Height="1680" Scale="90"> so my numbers are coming in as strings, and are therefore being treated as relative values by Fuse, so I tried converting them to numbers... var intRegionX:Number = objRegionXml.attributes.X; var intRegionY:Number = objRegionXml.attributes.Y; var intRegionWidth:Number = objRegionXml.attributes.Width; var intRegionHeight:Number = objRegionXml.attributes.Height; var intRegionScale:Number = objRegionXml.attributes.Scale; mcCountry.intRegionX = intRegionX; mcCountry.intRegionY = intRegionY; mcCountry.intRegionWidth = intRegionWidth; mcCountry.intRegionHeight = intRegionHeight; mcCountry.intRegionScale = intRegionScale; but they're still being treated as Strings, any ideas how to do this? thanks, jon -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
