Example

The following example scales a button called my_btn. When you click and release the button,

it grows 10% on the x and y axis. Enter the following ActionScript in Frame 1 of the

Timeline:

my_btn.onRelease = function(){

this._xscale ~= 1.1;

this._yscale ~= 1.1;

};

_x (Button._x property), _y (Button._y property), _yscale (Button._yscale

property)

_y (Button._y property)

public _y : Number

The y coordinate of the button relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip. If a

button is in the main Timeline, its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of the

Stage as (0, 0). If the button is inside another movie clip that has transformations, the button

is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip rotated 90

degrees counterclockwise, the enclosed button inherits a coordinate system that is rotated 90

degrees counterclockwise. The button's coordinates refer to the registration point position.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
