Getting Cursor or X/Y co-ordinates when clicking on an image

[TheDigitalStylist]

I am using Flex3 and have an image which I would like to allow the user to click on to indicate the NEW center of the image. I would then re-arrange the image with then new x/y position in the center of the image (I can handle the re-arrangement bit :))

I need to know how to obtain the x/y from a mouseover then click operation.

I hope this makes sense.

Any help gratefully appreciated,

Thanks, Steve.

myImage.mouseX / myImage.mouseY
or
theMouseEvent.localX / theMouseEvent.localY

Also, keep in mind that if the image has been scaled, you'd need to "unscale" the values back.

Thanks for the quick response. I am a 'newbie' and unfortunately will need a little more guidance before it sinks in :)

My code;

<mx:Canvas id="DesHolder" height="150" width="171" toolTip="Your Design" x="90" y="165">

<mx:Image width="169" height="148" autoLoad="true" id="Thumb" cacheAsBitmap="true" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>

</mx:Canvas>

I would like to capture the MouseX/Y and call a suitable 'ReCenter' function when the user clicks on the image (I understand about rescaling the XY).

Could you expand on your example and provide the changes necessary to above code ? and any extra functions that may be needed to act upon the 'MOUSE_OVER' event ?

Bet you wish you'd never replied now :)

Thanks, Steve.
