Hello,

I want to draw a simple circle behind my class both **center aligned** , but I’m getting problems with the coordenates of my class/movieclip.

Here is my class.

> 

public class SM extends MovieClip {

```
public var auxx:Number;
public var auxy:Number;
    
public function SM() {
    this.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
    this.graphics.drawRect(10,10,30,75);
    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,on_Release);
}

private function on_Release(e:Event) {
    auxx = this.x;
    auxy = this.y;
    MovieClip(root).graphics.beginFill(0xBBBBBB,0.3);
    MovieClip(root).graphics.drawCircle(auxx,auxy,120);
}

```

}

And here is my main in frame 1 where I create the instance and put it in the place I want.

> 

var sm1:SM = new SM(0);  
addChild(sm1);  
sm1.x = 100;  
sm1.y = 50;

I think that my class/movieclip isn’t at (100,50) because when I manually substitute ‘auxx’ and ‘auxy’ in drawCircle for 100 and 50, still not ok.

Thanks in advance.
