Hi,
I am working on a flash file that imports xml data. This data gets run through a for loop and each xml child gets its own movieclip. Then the various instances of menuItem are randomly placed on the stage.
So, how would I make sure they overlap either one of the corners?
Here as3 code which i use
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
