Hi,  
I’m trying to position a sprite on a page, but for some reason it just isn’t working.  
I create a printJob and I can get the object printed, but I just can’t seem to position the sprite on the printed page.

This is part of my code:

```auto

var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.addChild(grids*);

myPrintJob.addPage(mySprite);

```

I’m pulling the object from an array, which works fine, but always puts it in the top left hand corner. Now I want to set the x and y position of it. No matter what I do it just doesn’t want to move.

Any help would be much appreciated.
