_ymouse (MovieClip._ymouse property)

public _ymouse : Number [read-only]

Indicates the y coordinate of the mouse position.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

Example

The following example returns the current x and y coordinates of the mouse on the Stage (_level0) and in relation to a movie clip on the Stage called my_mc.

this.createTextField("mouse_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 150, 66);
mouse_txt.html = true;
mouse_txt.multiline = true;
var row1_str:String = "&nbsp;\t<b>_xmouse\t</b><b>_ymouse</b>";
my_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
    mouse_txt.htmlText = "<textformat tabStops='[50,100]'>";
    mouse_txt.htmlText += row1_str;
    mouse_txt.htmlText += "<b>_level0</b>\t"+_xmouse+"\t"+_ymouse;
    mouse_txt.htmlText += "<b>my_mc</b>\t"+this._xmouse+"\t"+this._ymouse;
    mouse_txt.htmlText += "</textformat>";
};

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player 7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components' DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
