im sure there is a tuturial on this somewhere but i cant find it. i have a movieclip in a movieclip, and want to find its \_x \_y on the stage, not just to its \_parent, i usualy just use"this.\_x + \_parent.\_x. But when i rotate the parent it doesnt work, how can i get the \_x,\_y of an object in an object thats rotating?
