hmmm unless I am misunderstanding localToGlobal seems to relate to points - not 
sprites

You must have missed localToGlobal and globalToLocal.

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.

*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.

[Flashcoders] Using parent Sprites coordinates

2010-02-23 Thread Lehr, Theodore 
Is there a way to have a child sprite reference the parent sprite when seeting 
it's x and y say I have a Sprite:

var bgDad:Sprite = new Sprite();

then I add a child:


var bgSon:Sprite = new Sprite();
bgSon.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x00);
bgSon.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
bgSon.graphics.lineTo(100,100);

bgdad.addChild(bgSon);


I would like those coordinates [0,0 and 100,100] to be in relations to bgDad - 
not the stage... is this possible?
