Hi Flashies, I’ve been having trouble with a simple generic object. I took this example from the help file : var myPoint:Object = {x:50, y:20}; When I paste it into a new flash file and trace it, I get x = 50 and y = 20 . As expected. When I paste it into a file I have been working on, in the root, on it’s own layer, I get “undefined” for the x & y properties. There are no other variables in my file called “myPoint”. Can anyone suggest how I may go about trouble shooting this? Has anyone see this before? Thanks in Advance.
