Problem with my _x and _y properties...

[JoeyDude]

Hi,
I'm trying to make an Arkanoid type of game in flash, and I'm having a problem.

When I make the instance of the bar (that you are controlling) and the instance of the ball, I put them both at x: 400, y: 400.

But they are not at the same point.

The ball is 50 pixels below the bar, but the y axie is correct.

I tried to make a trace of that, and flash tells me that both objects are at x:400, y:400.

I also attached a screenshot of what my code does, in this post (below).

Anyone knows what my problem could be?
Thanks a lot for your help guys

var initPalX:Number = 400;
var initPalY:Number = 400;

var initBallX:Number = 400;
var initBallY:Number = 400;

var ballSpeed:Number = 20;
var paletteSpeed:Number = 10;

var theball:Ball = new Ball(mc_passball, initBallX, initBallY, ballSpeed, initX, initY);
var thepalette:Palette = new Palette(mc_pal, initPalX, initPalY, paletteSpeed);


this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
	if (Key.isDown(39))
	{
		thepalette.moveRight();
		theball.followPalette(thepalette.getx(), thepalette.gety());
	}
	
	if (Key.isDown(37))
	{
		thepalette.moveLeft();
		theball.followPalette(thepalette.getx(), thepalette.gety());
	}
	
	if (Key.getCode() == 32)
	{
		theball.rebound(90);
	}
}

Here is my Ball class:

class Ball extends MovieClip
{
	var ball_mc:MovieClip;
	var x:Number;
	var y:Number;
	var speed:Number;
	var lx:Number;
	var ly:Number;
	
	public function Ball(pass_mc:MovieClip, pass_x:Number, pass_y:Number, pass_speed:Number, pass_lx:Number, pass_ly:Number)
	{
		ball_mc = pass_mc;
		ball_mc._x = pass_x;
		ball_mc._y = pass_y;
		speed = pass_speed;
		lx = pass_lx;
		ly = pass_ly;
	}
	
	public function getHitAngle()
	{
		var a:Number = Math.abs(lx - ball_mc._x);
		var b:Number = Math.abs(ly - ball_mc._y);
		var c:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2));
		var angle:Number= Math.asin(a / c);
		
		return angle;
	}
	
	public function rebound(angle:Number)
	{
		var scale_x:Number = Math.cos(angle);
		var scale_y:Number = Math.sin(angle);
		
		var velocity_x:Number = (speed * scale_x);
		var velocity_y:Number = (speed * scale_y);
		
		ball_mc._x -= velocity_x;
		ball_mc._y -= velocity_y;
	}
	public function followPalette(pass_x:Number, pass_y:Number)
	{
		
		ball_mc._x = pass_x;
		ball_mc._y = pass_y;
		//trace(pass_obj._x);
	}
	
	public function setlx(pass_lx:Number)
	{
		lx = pass_lx;
	}
	
	public function setly(pass_ly:Number)
	{
		ly = pass_ly;
	}
	
	public function getx()
	{
		return ball_mc._x;
	}
	
	public function gety()
	{
		return ball_mc._y;
	}
	
}

Here is my bar class:

class Palette extends MovieClip
{
	var mc_palette:MovieClip;
	var speed:Number;
	
	public function Palette(pass_mc:MovieClip, pass_x:Number, pass_y:Number, pass_speed:Number)
	{
		mc_palette = pass_mc;
		mc_palette._x = pass_x;
		mc_palette._y = pass_y;
		speed = pass_speed;
	}
	
	public function moveLeft()
	{
		mc_palette._x -= speed;
	}

	public function moveRight()
	{
		mc_palette._x += speed;
	}
	
	public function getx()
	{
		return mc_palette._x;
	}
	
	public function gety()
	{
		return mc_palette._y;
	}
}
