Hi

I'm trying to detect the latitude and longitude of the cursor as the user moves their mouse around a map. Should be straightforward I thought - if I use LatLonRect data and then calculate based on _xmouse and _ymouse data and the height and width of the movieClip containing the map, I should be able to do this right?

Weird problem is that flash reports the _height and _width of the movieclip incorrectly.

I have a movieClip "mapTable_mc" in which there is a map named "map"

The actual dimensions of the movieClip (and also the map) are 400 X 300 pixels.

trace(mapTable_mc._height)
…output is 1280
trace(mapTable_mc._width)
…output is 1280

Trace mapTable_mc.map._height
…output is 1280
Trace mapTable_mc.map._width
…output is 1280

Height and width are not only incorrect but also the same as each other!

If I trace _xmouse and _ymouse values, they are exacly as expected.

Can anyone shed any light?

David
