localToGlobal problems

i posted a few days ago about relative positions inside movieclips.

then i remembered localToGlobal.
duh.


apparently i'm implementing it wrong, as when i move the box anywhere else, it still repositions the box to the clip's x and y.

the code is in the 2nd box from the top on the far left.

2nd frame.

thanks for any help.


nolen

looked at the file was kinda messy so i didnt really understand.. but i think i can help


point = new Object();
point.x = this._x;
point.y = this._y;
localToGlobal(point);

box.beginx = point.x;
box.beginy = point.y;


is how you use the localtoglobal... it only works with objects formated object.x object.y (not sure if it can have more paramters or not, but i know it works this way).. so create a object tell it your local coordinate.. localtoglobal.. then it returns global posistions in object.x object.y

NOTE: need to recaculate if object is moved
something like

point.x = this._x;
point.y = this._y;
localToGlobal(point);
box.currentx = point.x;
box.currenty = point.y;
