root position of nested clip

[ThaNigga]

Hi, i've got a clip nested like the following:
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7
Every clip can be rotated or moved randomly. How could i know the position
and rotation of clip7 in the root? I've tried with localToGlobal, but i
can't understand how it works. Thanks.

you're on the right track ... localToGlobal is the way to go

Finally I found the solution, and I post it, if anyone is interested:

I was trying to do that:

_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7poi nt=new Object();
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7.po int.x=_root.clip1.clip2.cl
ip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7._x;
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7.po int.y=_root.clip1.clip2.cl
ip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7._y;
localToGlobal(_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5. clip6.clip7.point);

But it didn't work. I tried this too:

_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7.lo calToGlobal(_root.clip1.cl
ip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7.point);

But still nothing. Finally the right way seems to be this:

with _root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7) {
this.point = new Object();
this.point.x = this._x;
this.point.y = this._y;
localToGlobal(this.point);
}

This works perfectly. The rotation is easy to know:

_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7._r otation +
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6._rotatio n +
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5._rotation +
_root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4._rotation + _root.clip1.clip2.clip3._rotation
+ _root.clip1.clip2._rotation + _root.clip1._rotation;

I hope this will help someone.

Reason your first ones failed is your stuffed it up with dots where they
shouldn't be etc .. you can do it simply like this.

var myclip = _root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7;
var point = new Object();
point.x = myclip._x;
point.y = myclip._y;
myclip.localToGlobal(point);

or maybe just

var myclip = _root.clip1.clip2.clip3.clip4.clip5.clip6.clip7;
var point = { x : myclip._x, y : myclip._y };
myclip.localToGlobal(point);
