Hi

I have a few items on the stage with different types of item.  
cube\_0 ++  
square\_0 ++  
triangle\_0 ++  
and so forth

I have this scroll bar to rotate each item. When a user click outside of it, it will close down(removeMovieClip)  
I want to store the last x and y coordinates of [let’s say] cube\_0 's scroll bar… so that when a user re-opens the scrollbar, it will be at the last coordinate when they close it.

I’m thinking to do an array, but I don’t know how to do it.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
