retrieving registration point coordinates 1

rds747 · Dec 2, 2005

If I created a button with a center registration point, would it be possible to retrieve through actionscript code its x and y coordinates?

If on the button:

Code:

on(release){
    trace(this._x);
}

If on the timeline:

Code:

buttonName.onRelease = function(){
    trace(buttonName._y);
}

The value returned is the location of the registration point. Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
