get Position of dynamically placed childs

hello adobe community

 

maybe had same problem before... create child symbols on stage, give childs x , y startposition , tell them float left. works good.
but x , y position of each child object able move position. there function actual x , y coordinates of symbol on stage?

cheers

you need use css('left') , ('top').

 

example:

var elementleft =  sym.$('ellipse').css('left');

var elementtop = sym.$('ellipse').css('top');

alert('the ellipse @ ' + elementleft + ' left , ' + elementtop + ' top.');

 

it returns left  , top position example 234px , 20px. need use number interger, need parse it.

 

or ytou can use position():

 

var positiont = sym.$('ellipse').offset().top;

var positionl = sym.$('ellipse').offset().top;

alert(positiont + ' , ' + positionl  );

 

this returns integers without px no need parse.
