myNewDisplayObj.transform = myOldDisplayObj.transform;

The new movie clip, myNewDisplayObj, now has the same values for its matrix, color

transform, and pixel bounds as the old movie clip,

myOldDisplayObj.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8

Example

The following example shows how to use a movie clip's

transform property to access and

modify a movie clip's location by using Matix positioning.

import flash.geom.Matrix;

var rect:MovieClip = createRectangle(20, 80, 0xFF0000);

var translateMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();

translateMatrix.translate(10, 0);

rect.onPress = function() {

var tmpMatrix:Matrix = this.transform.matrix;

tmpMatrix.concat(translateMatrix);

this.transform.matrix = tmpMatrix;

}

function createRectangle(width:Number, height:Number, color:Number,

scope:MovieClip):MovieClip {

scope = (scope == undefined) ? this : scope;

var depth:Number = scope.getNextHighestDepth();

var mc:MovieClip = scope.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_" + depth, depth);

mc.beginFill(color);

mc.lineTo(0, height);

mc.lineTo(width, height);

mc.lineTo(width, 0);

mc.lineTo(0, 0);

return mc;

}

If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method, which is

used in this example.
