I’m trying to reposition a video window on full screen event. to global 0,0… and i’m having a hell of a time. I attached a diagram explaining my problem. basically it’s just figuring out how far to the negative x to move the window!

I know there is an easy way to do this and i’m trying to avoid using this.parent to reference the holder.

you guys rule.
