How to determine a sub movieclip position related to the stage?

Hi i have some movieclips like this one: game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand and inside the rightHand i have a thread_mc like this: 

game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc

Ok so here is the thing, i need to access the thread.x and thread.y position related to the stage or substage_mc i don´t really care, but if i do this:

trace(game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc.x);

I only get the thread position related to the rightHand and not to the stage. Any help here?.

Try localToGlobal:

var posX:int = game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc.x;
var posY:int = game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc.y;
trace(game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc.localToGlobal(new Point(posX, posY));

there is a function on the DisplayObject class called localToGlobal

that will give you the coordinates, but you need to keep scale in mind

You have to use the localToGlobal() method.

Here you can find some useful explanation:
