Uhm, I’m sure this should be allot easier so i though I’d ask here…

Ive got a two classes “Cell” and “Grid”, a movie clip “Cell”, and a sprite “Cell Sprite”.

I use the Grid class to add new Cell classes, each Cell class adds a Cell movie clip to the Cell Sprite.

I’ve added an “MouseEvent.CLICK” event to the Cell movie clip inside the Cell class. My problem is that it thinks its X and Y are (0,0). I have also got it to display it’s first X and Y coordinates but when the Cell movie clip is dragged around the X and Y coordinates are not updated.

To sum up I’m trying to find the X and Y or a movie clip.

Thanks allot
