Linking x poisitions between to symbols?

[cliffy]

I know this should be an easy question for a lot of you, but I haven't been able to find anything in the book that I have on simple linking of attributes, everything in the books is on event-driven stuff.

Basically I have a circle that is bouncing and I have a shadow that I want linked to an object to allow the shadow to follow the object on the x-axis and vary in size depending on the ball's y-position.

If anyone can help me on this one I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks

actually from what I read it would seem that:

ball1._x = ball2._x

would work

or if the script has to be belong to the object that is being controlled then:

this._x = _root.ball2._x

but of course that doesn't work either, otherwise I wouldn't be asking. Thanks for the help

welcome to the forums
your code would work fine but just fire it within an onEnterFrame()

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately even when using the command that you said I cannot get it to work.

The reason that I wanted a script of this sort was to control a shadow for a bouncing ball. If anyone knows of a tutorial that would go over something like this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the help
