Hi,

I am wondering about the x, y position of objects. I place a shape at a the bottom of the stage, but then when i check its x, y coords its at 0, 0. Is this correct? so when i start to move it it starts from where i want it on the stage (at the bottom) but the x,y coords are starting at 0,0 also.

I am creating this with as3 through flex builder
