I didn't run it, but I think you're off a level. Normally you either do:
var p:Point=box.localToGlobal(new Point(box.width,box.height)) or var p:Point=box.parent.localToGlobal(new Point(box.x+box.width,box.y+box.height)) because 'local' is local to box or box.parent. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schmitty Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ScrollEvent.SCROLL -- what comes after? Am I using/understanding updateComplete correctly? If you run this sample file, scroll with the mousewheel or the scrollbars it will trace the scroll and updateComplete values.
