or if your container uses absolute positioning you would need to use
contentToGlobal

repeater item
Hey you might want to also look into "localToGlobal"
I.e
var comp : UIComponent = UIComponent(
event.target ); var point : Point = comp.localToGlobal(
new Point( comp.x, comp.y ) ); trace( point.x + ":" +
point.y );

Getting the coords
for a button should be pretty much the same.
stageX and Y are the x and y coords of the mouse
position relative to
the application stage. mainCanvas is a direct child of
the application
and is the container that I want the coords relative to.
If you have
additional containers between the stage and the one you
need coords
relative to, you have to subtract the x and y at each
level to get
from stage coords to that container's coords.
Subtracting the mouseX
and Y moves the coords from the point or the click to
the upper left
corner of the image.
selectedImage.x = event["stageX"] - mainCanvas.x
- event.currentTarget.mouseX;
selectedImage.y = event["stageY"] - mainCanvas.y
- event.currentTarget.mouseY;
