Usage
my_txt._y:Number
Description
Property; the y coordinate of a text field relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip.
If a text field is in the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of
the Stage as (0, 0). If the text field is inside another movie clip that has transformations, the text
field is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip rotated
90
º
counterclockwise, the enclosed text field inherits a coordinate system that is rotated 90
º
counterclockwise. The text field’s coordinates refer to the registration point position.
