Seems to work. It returns an _x of 0 because that's where this line : var loaderBox_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("loaderBox_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
creates the clip. The coordinates you're drawing on are relative to the loaderBox_mc but they don't in fact change the position of loaderBox_mc Hope that makes sense to you. On 3/23/07, Lee Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all Just trying to create a box in actionscript into an empty movieclip. I then wanted to reurn the _x postion of the box, but it's just not happening for me. Here is my code. Any ideas?
