MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE - Y (Movieclip._Y Property); Ymouse (Movieclip._Ymouse Property)

526 ActionScript classes
_y (MovieClip._y property)
public _y : Number
Sets the y coordinate of a movie clip relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip.
If a movie clip is in the main Timeline, its coordinate system refers to the upper-left corner of
the Stage.as (0,0). If the movie clip is inside another movie clip that has transformations, the
movie clip is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip
rotated 90° counterclockwise, the movie clip's children inherit a coordinate system that is
rotated 90° counterclockwise. The movie clip's coordinates refer to the registration point
position.

this.createTextField("mouse_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 150,
66);
mouse_txt.html = true;
mouse_txt.multiline = true;
var row1_str:String = "&nbsp;\t<b>_xmouse\t</b><b>_ymouse</b>";
my_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
mouse_txt.htmlText = "<textformat tabStops='[50,100]'>";
mouse_txt.htmlText += row1_str;
mouse_txt.htmlText += "<b>_level0</b>\t"+_xmouse+"\t"+_ymouse;
mouse_txt.htmlText += "<b>my_mc</b>\t"+this._xmouse+"\t"+this._ymouse;
mouse_txt.htmlText += "</textformat>";
