Hi guys,

After an hour of frustration I noticed that the DisplayObject.x and DisplayObject.y values don’t behave the same way that a Number does. I was adding a small increment to them, over and over, and they weren’t increasing.

I did the exact same operation on a Point.x and Point.y and it worked as expected.

Is there a reason for this ?

Thanks.
