my_mc._x:Number

Description

Property; an integer that sets the x coordinate of a movie clip relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip. If a movie clip is in the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of the Stage as (0, 0). If the move 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 90º counterclockwise, the movie clip's children inherit a coordinate system that is rotated 90º counterclockwise. The movie clip's coordinates refer to the registration point position.

Example

The following example attaches a movie clip with the linkage identifier cursor_id to a SWF file. The movie clip is called cursor_mc, and it is used to replace the default mouse pointer. The following ActionScript sets the current coordinates of the movie clip instance to the position of the mouse pointer.

this.attachMovie("cursor_id", "cursor_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
Mouse.hide();
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
   cursor_mc._x = _xmouse;
   cursor_mc._y = _ymouse;
   updateAfterEvent();
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
