Hey! I may have found a simpler version: MovieClip.getBounds seems to have a parameter for the "target space". Example:
var bounds = mc.getBounds(_root); ..which, I believe, should convert the bounding rectangle automatically to the _root coordinates. (I think it uses localToGlobal and globalToLocal internally). cheers, B. 2006/4/24, Zeh Fernando <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > When I found this out It confused the hell out of me as > > localToGlobal had never worked like that before - I just > > assumed I'd never used it with anything scaled by hand before > > and wrote that off as the reason. > > Now if what you're saying is true then it gets even more confusing. > > > > One difference may be that I'm actually attaching an MC to point MC and > > trying to get it's coords?
