[Xerte] Reading X,Y

[Tenney Julian]

My own preferred way of doing this is to set a property on the icons
themselves, rather than access the XML directly. If you set up a load of
graphics, you can loop over them and set additional properties such as
'initX' or 'initY':
 
myIcon.initX = myIcon._x;
 
then it becomes much simpler to replace it:
 
myIcon.animate(myIcon.initX, myIcon.initY,10,'linearTween');

Hi

 

Am trying to send an item back to it's original x &y. Does anybody know
of a way of reading the x&y from the XML file through script? 

The first line works but is hard coded, we want to extract the initial
post position of the object just dropped so we can return it to its
start position. Second line doesn't work...

 

 

if(blnTargetFree==false){

//all targets are full, take action

 

//mf1.objectDropped.animate(100,100,20,'linearTween');

mf1.objectDropped.animate(mf1.objectDropped.XMLNode.attributes.x,mf1.obj
ectDropped.XMLNode.attributes.y,20,'linearTween');

 

}
