I have a problem understanding the theory of the x and y position of a circle movie clip in Flash. Is the x and y position of the circle the middle of the circle or the top left hand corner of the bounding box for the movie clip containing the circle.
In regards to game design, for example, to determine whether a particular point at (x, y) is touching a circle, you would indeed need to know the distance from the middle of the circle to the particular point and then determine whether that distance is less than or equal to the radius, therefore confirming that the point is touching the circle.
Again, the very basic question would be
circle_movie_clip._x = the middle of the circle movie clip?
Thank you for all your help in advance
