Hi Tracy
Thanks. Yes, I tried localToGlobal, however it's not really as helpful
as I hoped it might be. It doesn't seem to work within an embedded
module, for instance (it gives you the coordinates relative to the
module container by the look).
I thought Flash would know the stage.x and y of everything and so
there'd be some way to readily access this but I guess not...will I
have to roll my own solution?

You want the coordinate system methods like localToGlobal and
globalToLocal. Look for “coordinate system” in the docs for a full

Subject: [flexcoders] Finding the stage xy of a nested object
Hello
I though this ought to be easy but can't figure out how to do it. I
have controls that are nested in layout containers and I want to find
their xy in stage coordinates. Their x and y values are relative to
their containers, so that doesn't give me what I want. There must be
an easy way to find their stage x and y...is there?
