Subject: FLASH: tracking _x of object w/in MC (newbie)
From: Ted Buson

Hi all, stupid newbie question, hope you can help:

So I've got an MC, box_mc, contained within another MC, master_mc. When I
click on a button, the x position of master_mc changes. There's another
button, which when clicked changes the _x of another MC, circle_mc. What i
want to do is set the _x of circle_mc based on the _x of box_mc, but as it
relates to the _root, not master_mc. In other words, if I just grab
master_mc.box_mc._x, it always gives me the same number, because in relation
to master_mc it is always the same, but what I really want is the _x as it
actually relates to _root, i.e. where it actually looks like it is onscreen.
Does this make sense? Can this be done? Any help much appreciated.

Ted
