[Dunn, Jeff]

Yes, it's something like:

SetVariable "x"=GetProperty (movieclip, xposition)

SetVariable "y"=GetProperty (movieclip, yposition)


You can then move a clip by adding or subtracting from the variable:

SetVariable "x"=x+1

SetProperty (movieclip,xposition)="x"


This is really a simplified answer, but you get the idea.

Subject: FLASH: this may be a stupid question but.....



I was looking at the Demon Systems site (www.demonsys.com) .....and a

thought occurred to me....how does the pointer (or any object in a movie

clip) know where it is? Meaning, if you click on any of the buttons, the

pointer makes the same motion, moving a few spaces past where you click and

then going back.


What I'm wondering is, did the designers have to create a separate movie

clip for every possible click of the mouse? Or is there some way to tell the

clip "where it is"?
