Re: FLASH: ActionScript Help

[Gregg Caines]

If the object is a movie clip, and the animation including its

motion path is also a movie clip, you can get the x and y

position of the object by targeting the object MC within the

motion MC.


It would be something like

GetProperty(/motion_mc/object_mc/,_x)

or whatever its Flash 5 equivalent is...
