I am a relatively new flash user and I am self taught.
I am building a site for myself and cannot wrap my head around why the xy coordinates will not be the same from one page to the other.
For example: I will have a symbol at x=0 y=0 position on one page and when I copy it to another page and I type in the same coordinates it will be positioned in a different place. If I do a test on a new document with one element, there is no problem.
Does it change anything if the elements are more than one level deep? I have several movie clips inside of other movie clips. When I do this how does it affect the coordinates?
