Hi everyone. I need some help with a project i’m developing with Flash+ActionScript 3. I have a map in a MovieClip (mcMapa), and it’s larger than the screen. So I use some functions to navigate throw it (pan) almost like Google Maps. Then I have another MovieClip (the map marker) associated with a class (PinoJogador), and I want to put 4 markers inside my map in random points. I have a function to give me the points, and I have two type of errors: 1- When I create the marker objects PinoJogador, if I add them to the stage (stage.addChild) I have them inside the map, but when I do the pan they dont go along with the map (I understand why, but …). 2 - When I create the marker objects and add them to the mcMapa (mcMapa.addchild), they will never appear inside the map (they appear at the right of it). What I want is to put the 4 random markers inside the map and they stay still in the points when i pan the map. I know the problem is in local/global coordinates, but I just cant understand what to do. Here’s a link of what I’ve done: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38177989/Jogo%20NJI.zip](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38177989/Jogo%20NJI.zip) Help me please … I’m not used to Flash since 2004. Thanks in advance.
