Hi,
You can get the mouse pointer co-ordinates in global level from mouseX and
mouseY properties. FYI! if you want to move an object in Canvas, you will
need to covert these co-ordinates to Canvas's co-ordinate system.
##globalToLocalExample.mxml##
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
mouseDown="onMouseDownEvent();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function onMouseDownEvent(event)
{
//create a point object containing x,y
co-ord of Mouse pointer.
var point = {x:mouseX, y:mouseY};
_ta.text = "mouseX in Global co-ordinate
system: " + point.x + "\nmouseY in Global co-ordinate system: " + point.y +
"\n";
//transform co-ords to Canvas's system
cvs.globalToLocal(point);
_ta.text += "mouseX in Canvas co-ordinate
system: " + point.x + "\nmouseY in Canvas co-ordinate system: " + point.y +
"\n";
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="cvs" width="300" height="300"/>
<mx:TextArea id="_ta" width="200" height="150"/>
</mx:Application>

Thank you for the information Manish.
Setting the x and y... Is there some function to call the mouse pointer
location?

You can freely reposition using drag and drop within a Canvas.
Repositioning involved setting the x and y properties of the object
(or calling the 'move' method).

canvas.getChildAt(index).x <= x-position of child at index
Similarly y, width and height...
