[RESOLVED] _x _y coordianates

[calmchess]

Whats the easies way to determine the _x _y coordinates of the stage without compiling the .swf to see where an object is located?

[kortex]

You mean the x and why of a specific object on the stage?

[calmchess]

no i mean the x y of where i would like to place an object

[joran420]

the info panel has x,y mouse coords inside the flash movie...im kinda confused by the question...

[kortex]

Well you could just create a temporary object that you drag to various places on the stage to get the coordinates and then just delete it from the stage before you publish the movie.

[calmchess]

yeah kortex thats a good idea think I'll just do that ....thanks

[calmchess]

nope that didn't work its off by a mile

[joran420]

the clip is placed based on its registration point(usualy the topleft corner)

not sure if that has anything to do with your problem

[calmchess]

that has everything to do with it because the x y coordinates that I trace seem to be going to the center of the object and thats where the registartion point currently is at.....I think you are a genius

[joran420]

glad to have helped :P hehe I figured that was too obvious...Ive seen some of your posts and you seem to have a pretty good idea aboput coding so i figured you already knew that :P
