RE: [flexcoders] Actual screen X and Y co-ordinates of a container

[Gordon Smith]

By "screen" do you mean the computer monitor, or the Flash "stage"?   You can use the localToGlobal() method to convert to stage coordinates. I don't think you can get monitor coordinates of DisplayObjects.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of pk_wasp Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 12:26 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Actual screen X and Y co-ordinates of a container   Hi I'm trying to find out what actual x and y co-ordinates of a container (that is inside another container) relative to the screen rather then relative to the parent container. Is there an easy way to find this out? can't seem to find anything in the docs etc cheers __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
