How come if you take two different movie clips and set their X and Y to the same, it doesn’t go to the same spot? One could be at the middle of a stage, another one completely off it. I want to know this, because I want my V-cam to follow a guy that moves around by repeatedly setting it’s X and Y to the same as the guy, but it doesn’t work.  
Please help.

Also, where can I find a tutorial on Arrays? I’ve used them before, but just not in flash.
