Description
The floating-point _ ymouse property indicates the
vertical location of the mouse pointer’s hotspot relative to
the coordinate space of mc. If
mc is a main movie, _ ymouse is measured from the Stage’s top edge. If
mc is an instance, _ ymouse is measured from the instance’s registration
point. To obtain a consistent _ ymouse coordinate
that is always measured relative to the Stage, use _root._ ymouse.
Example
Placing the following code on a clip causes it to mirror the mouse pointer’s vertical position relative to the Stage (it moves up and down in a straight line):
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_y = _root._ymouse;
