[flexcoders] Finding the x/y position of an object

[Shannon Hicks]

I have a nested 
object (an HBox) in my app, and I'm trying to figure out the global x/y position 
of it.
 
I've tried 
this:
            var pt:Point 
= new 
Point(this.x,this.y);           
this.localToGlobal(pt);
 
But it always 
returns 0/0. Even if I do this:
 
           var pt:Point 
= new 
Point(parent.x,parent.y);           
this.localToGlobal(pt);
It's returning an 
odd value, like 0/90.... the actual x/y position of the object is somewhere 
around 350/275
 
Any 
ideas?
 
Shan
