public _x : Number

An integer that sets the x coordinate of a button relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip. If a button is on the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of the Stage as (0, 0). If the button is inside a movie clip that has transformations, the button is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the enclosed button inherits a coordinate system that is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The button's coordinates refer to the registration point position.

Example

The following example sets the coordinates of my_btn to 0 on the Stage. Create a button called my_btn and enter the following ActionScript in Frame 1 of the Timeline:

my_btn._x = 0;
my_btn._y = 0;
