Flash Coordinate question

[CompleteDouche]

When i have a hitTest, i want it to set a player to a certain coordinate. Do i set coordinates with _xscale/_yscale, or can i just say _x/_y ?

onClipEvent(enterframe) {
if (this.hitTest(mario)){ 
mario._xscale = x,
 mario_yscale = y}
}

just wondering.

If you use xscale or yscale, you'll change the 'scale' - stretching.

You NEED to use x and y, as these are their coordinates, the xscale and yscale properties relate to the scale of the width and height - i.e. they stretch the MC.

_x and _y set particular coordinates for a MovieClip where as _xscale and _yscale change the % scale of that MovieClip. So something that is 100px wide has a value of _xscale or 100 but if you change this to say 50 the MovieClip will appear as 50px wide instead. Dont forget _x and _y are relative to the MovieClip your particular MovieClip is in.
