[AS]
on (press) {
_root.ynew = this._y+(this._height/2);
}
[/AS]

when i use that with ‘this’ it doesnt work like i expect but when i give the object an instance name and replace ‘this’ with that name it does work like i think it should. Am i totally missing what ‘this’ does?

Thanks

when used ON buttons, this refers to the timeline the button is placed. When this is used ON movieclips, it refers to THAT movieclip.
