Re: [flexcoders] Finding the stage xy of a nested object

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?

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?
