Why is the attached movieclips appearing in the corner???

[Glenn Ko]

Code: [Select]


graphDrawer.moveTo( this["xPos"] , this["yPos"]);
this.attachMovie(mySym, "rangeSym"+i, 10+i, {isLower:true} );
graphDrawer.lineTo( this["xPos"], this["yMax"] );
this.attachMovie(mySym, "rangeSym"+i, 1000+i, {isLower:false} );

The attached movies appear on the stage displaced at the corner instead of being at xPos, yPos, and yMax respectively.. I understand that moveTo only affects the drawing start point fo r the drawing API. However, i did this:

Code: [Select]


graphDrawer.moveTo( this["xPos"] , this["yPos"]);
graphDrawer.attachMovie(mySym, "rangeSym"+i, 10+i, {isLower:true} );
graphDrawer["rangeSym"+i]._x=this["xPos"];
graphDrawer["rangeSym"+i]._y=this["yPos"];

graphDrawer.lineTo( this["xPos"], this["yMax"] );
graphDrawer.attachMovie(mySym, "rangeSym"+i, 1000+i, {isLower:false} );
graphDrawer["rangeSymUp"+i]._x=this["xPos"];
graphDrawer["rangeSymUp"+i]._y=this["yMax"];

Still no result. The attached movies displaced at the corner.

BTW, the lines draw correctly, so there's perfectly nothing wrong with my this '["xPos"] ' variables and such.

Also, does anyone know how to use initalisation propreties (ie. create customisable initialisation prpoerties) for your particular movie clip in the library? Am i doing it the right way? (ie. just dump in the variable "isLower=false" into the movieclip??).

Try:

graphDrawer.attachMovie(mySym, "rangeSym"+i, 10+i, {_x:10, _y:10, isLower:true} );
