In the code example below it looks like you set the x,y of the rectangle that is IN the sprite to 15,337. The sprite default position of the sprite is 0,0
Sprite.x = 0; Sprite.rectangle.x = 15; -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Lehr, Theodore Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 7:58 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite wow - this is something I am ging to have to wrapped my head around.... 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: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Cor [c...@chello.nl] 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: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] 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 Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders No virus found in this incoming message.
