Hi,

I’m having problems understanding the X&Y position of an object in Flash CS4. I have an object on the stage, and the X&Y in the properties panal are set to X:400.00 and Y:198.85. At the end of my tween the same object is in almost exactly the same location of the stage (maybe a millimeter off) and the position of the object is shown as: X 0.40, Y: 172.85 in the properties panel.

Am I missing something here? I want to use the X&Y to make sure both objects are in exactly the same place on the stage…
