Hello there  
im just wondering if theres a way to get the real x and y positions of an object in the real movie ( the root screen) that is locted in another movie

i have an object which is within 2 movie clips, first one and then another , and then my object, now i want to know what the real x and y positions of it is, not the locations realtive to the movieclip it is inside.

Thanks )
