Correct: drawrect(0,0, yourwidth, yourheight); Unless you would like to add more then one thing in the sprite.
Look at the sprite as a container/holder/box. You can move the thing in the box around without moving the position of the box itself.

I set the x,y of the sprite at creation to: 15, 337 (with a w,h of 646,207) BUT the x/y traces as 0,0.... if I do: spret.x = 15; it moves it 15 as related to the original 15... so it is REALLY at 30 on the stage AND then when I move it 15 (which should really be 30) it traces to 15.... It just occired to me that maybe I should create it at 0,0 and then move it to where I want it to be.... ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cor [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 7:38 AM To: 'Flash Coders List' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite Your sprite position is 0 and IN there, there is the rectangle at 15 px. trace(mSprite.width); // //set mSprite's x mSprite.x = 15; -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lehr, Theodore Sent: donderdag 25 februari 2010 13:29 To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite given the following: var msprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); mSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,.1); mSprite.graphics.drawRect(15,337,646,207); mSprite.graphics.endFill(); addChild(mSprite); trace("mSprite.x = "+mSprite.x); I would think that I should be tracing "mSprite.x = 15" instead I get "mSprite = 0" Anyone know why? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders No virus found in this incoming message.
