Hi,
as far as I know, there is no clean solution to this problem.
However, if you feel hackish, this /could/ work:
var w = myClip._width;
var h = myClip._height;
var clip = myClip.createEmptyMovieClip( "foobar",
myClip.getNextHighestDepth() );
with( clip ) {
beginFill( 0x00ff00, 100 ) {
lineTo( w, 0 );
lineTo( w, h );
endFill();
}
var x = myClip._width - w;
var y = myClip._height - h;
clip.removeMovieClip();
Now, (x, y) should be the coordinates of your origin (i.e., top left
is at (-x, -y)).
Maybe. I haven't tested it.
Good luck...
