Actionscript change default coordinate

Question

I have a sprite inside another sprite
SpriteB is inside SpriteA
I would like to change the default coordinate(top left corner) to say 250,10
When SpriteB.x = 0, SpriteB.y = 0 puts SpriteB to 250,10 in SpriteA
Is this possible?

Answer 1

You should be able to use the transform.matrix property of the sprite:

SpriteB.transform.matrix = new Matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 250, 10);

Answer 2

any child is referenced by the coordinate system of the parent, therefore if spriteB is contained in SpriteA, the x and y of SpriteA are added to that of spriteB when position is worked out.

all you have to do is SpriteB.x=250; SpriteB.y=10; and it will work.
