Hi,

I have a drawing that looks more or less like the attached image. image

The orange square is the currently selected selected sprite.

The sprites are all draws from coordinates that i receive from XML.

var sprObject:Sprite = new Sprite();

sprObject.graphics.beginFill(itemList.c.toString());
sprObject.name = strName;

sprObject.graphics.moveTo(iX, iY);
sprObject.graphics.lineTo(iX2, iY2);
sprObject.graphics.lineTo(iX3, iY3);
sprObject.graphics.lineTo(iX4, iY4);
sprObject.graphics.lineTo(iX, iX);
sprObject.graphics.endFill();
mainUI.addChild(sprObject);     // mainUI is a mx:UIComponent
g_Sprite.push(sprObject);        // array of sprites.

What I want to do is the following. If I'm currently on the orange square and I use my keyboard direction buttons (up/down/left/right). I want to deselect the current sprite and select the next sprite in the appropriate direction.

The problem I'm having is that I cannot get the x and y coordinates of the drawn sprites. If I look in the array, the x and y coordinates of the sprites are all 0. If I can retrieve that I can write an algorithm to determine the next sprite to select.

Any help would be appreciated.
