Yep. You will have to instantiate a point object with the x and y properties of your sprite, apply any localToGlobal/globalToLocal changes*, and then set your sprite's x (and y) to the new point's x and y.
Once you do this a few times it might be time to write yourself a few helper functions - ex. a function that takes a sprite and global x and global y and positions the sprite, for example. -jonathan *The way I'm writing this makes it sound like the localToGlobal() function alters the point it's passed, when actually I think it returns a new altered point. Don't get caught by this.
