Availability

Usage
document.viewMatrix
Description
Read-only property; a Matrix object. The viewMatrix is used to transform from object space to
document space when the document is in edit mode. The mouse location, as a tool receives it, is
relative to the object that is currently being edited.
For example, if you create a symbol, double-click to edit it, and draw with the polyStar tool, the
point (0,0) will be at the registration point of the symbol. However, the drawingLayer object
expects values in document space, so if you draw a line from (0,0) using the drawingLayer, it will
start at the upper left corner of the Stage. The
viewMatrix provides a way to transform from the
space of the object being edited to document space.
Example
The following example gets the value of the viewMatrix property:
var mat = fl.getDocumentDOM().viewMatrix;
