Hi Everyone… my first post on kirupa \<wohoo\>

I tend to learn more when i read treads that talk about general concepts than those with lots of codes, so i’ll ask my question in a general manner.

Like many others I am new to as3. I was playing with caurina tonight and was trying to make a simple interface with cubes, making them tween with an onClick function.

The thing is that everytime I click on them, although i make them tween to stage.width/2 this reference seems to vary… weird enough… I remember reading somewhere that every object now has its own stage… that is also very abstract to but anyways… I was wondering how do we tell a mc to move right in the middle of the …i mean THE stage… I tried with parent.width/2 but got no luck … If someone has a good understanding of the new concept of stage in as3, would be nice to have a little discussion here, not only the coded solution (although of course it will also help) 🙂 Cheers.
