Arguments

integer The local x coordinate of the movie.

instancename The name of a movie clip instance.

Description

Property; sets the x coordinate of movie relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip. If a movie clip is in the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of the Stage as (0, 0). If the move clip is inside another movie clip that has transformations, the movie clip is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip rotated 90º counterclockwise, the movie clip's children inherit a coordinate system that is rotated 90º counterclockwise. The movie clip's coordinates refer to the registration point position.
