Hi Guys,
       how to create a movieclip content dynamically. say for example i have a movieclip with a single tile. At runtime i have to create a movieclip with n(variable) number of tiles. suppose a number given is 5 then the newly created movieclip should contain 5 copies
of the movieclip(which has tile) in a horizontal or vertical order.

umm... Two questions. Are you using 'Actionscript2' or 'Actionscript3'? Plus are you using Flash Professional or Flex(Flash Develop, Flex Builder, mxlmlc.exe)? Sorry for not being that helpful but we kinda need to know these things.

Hi,
im using as3(flash professional) its in the topic heading itself. anyway i solved the problem now my question is how to convert local coordinates to global coordinates. i have generated a movieclip at runtime and when i drag the movieclip its giving local coordinates and i want its global coordinates how to do that?

I usually use something like this:

Code:

/* Get a locale from a nested movie clip in relation to another movie clip */
public static function localToLocal(p:Point, mc0:DisplayObject, mc1:DisplayObject):Point{
	p.x = p.y = 0;
	p = mc0.localToGlobal(p);
	p = mc1.globalToLocal(p);
	return p;
}

post code - what you're doing should work but we can't see why you've cocked up

set mouseChildren to false on the container clip, that'll make all mouse events be dispatched from the container and you won't have to deal with the children.

also, post code!
