How to bind text to object coordinates in actionscript 3?

Question

ActionScript

How to bind text to object coordinates. I bind either directly to ball.x or to a variable equal to this coordinate, the text shows only the initial coordinate, even if it is done through a timer.

Answer 1

Add a TextField directly to the ball to expose the TextField to the desired coordinates from the container.

var text:TextField = new TextField;
ball.addChild(text);

If the Ball changes its position then the text will follow the ball as it is anchored to the container's local coordinates.
