Usage
sprite(whichSpriteNumber). mapStageToMember(whichPointOnStage)

Description

of the cast member. This properly accounts for any current transformations to the sprite using
quad, or the rectangle if not transformed.
This is useful for determining if a particular area on a cast member has been clicked even if there
have been major transformations to the sprite on the Stage.
If the specified point on the Stage is not within the sprite, this function returns
VOID.
Parameters
whichPointOnStage
Required. A point from which an equivalent point is returned.
