Coordinates problem

1

how do I position a child movieclip of another movieclip on the stage relative to the stage, and still be able to position it relative to it’s parent when wanted?
[whisper]i hope that makes sense[/whisper]

I hope I understood you correctly:

Let’s say you have MC1 and MC2, MC2 is child of MC1


function posToStage(yourX:Number,yourY:Number){
MC2.x = yourX - MC1.x;
MC2.y = yourY - MC1.y;
}

function posToParent(yourX:Number,yourY:Number){
MC2.x = yourX;
MC2.y = yourY;
}
