How to (correctly position) childSymbols on mouse click.

hi folks,

 

i found tutorial here for how create childsymbols on mouse click , works fine - long doing on main stage.

 

here code:

 

var circle = sym.createchildsymbol("flower", "rectangle");

 

var circleelement = circle.getsymbolelement();

 

var posx = (e.pagex- ($(circleelement).width()/2)) + "px";

var posy = (e.pagey- ($(circleelement).height()/2)) + "px";

 

sym.$(circleelement).css({"position":"absolute", "top":posy, "left":posx});

 

 

 

i wanted create childsymbols on premade symbol have called 'rectangle'. works long symbol 'rectangle' same size stage or @ least placed @ top left of screen.

 

however if move symbol 'rectangle' away 0,0 coordinates child symbols appear offset distance 'rectangle 0 point.

 

any ideas on how keep child symbols want them on rectangle? tried calling childsymbol this:

 

var circle = sym.createchildsymbol("flower", "stage");

 

and keeps symbols should be, reason has performance lag , means can't click within bounds of generated childsymbol.

 

any appreciated!

 

thanks,

 

tom
