basically agree, but I fear these changes involve massive code changes...!? zl> getGlobalTransformationMatrix() zl> getGlobalCxform() "global" would imply to me that this is a matrix that is globally applied to any character (like a "master matrix") - *additionally* to it's local matrix and of it's parents. still prefer the term "world" in this case. Or perhaps "getFinalTransformationMatrix"() very long name, btw.. zl> // get the stage matrix required for mapping characters calculated zl> from SWF to GUI zl> getStageMatrix() here we come back to the original discussion, which is about "stage matrix" being ambiguous (matrix TWIPS<->mouse or TWIPS<->renderer?) we could also have a TWIPS <-> GUI <-> renderer scenario, where "<->" is a matrix. But this would add one additional matrix concatenation for each character during rendering. zl> The problem for "world" is that it is a too general word, thus you can zl> assign it random meanings according to your own background zl> knowledge(not from Flash directly). When the meaning is not so obvious zl> to the others, it just confuses people. Probably. But I would feel safe if we define "world" to describe completely transformed coordinates in TWIPS.
