center point (global) of sprite

[ofzach]

Greetings,

I am working on a project where I have a bunch of sprites that I'm manipulating the scale, rotation, anchor point and position of.  

I need to get their original center point (not their current pivot point) in global coordinates after these transformations and am a little lost with the best way to do that.

I see worldTransform -- is that useful?   If there's an example or short snippet it would be really helpful, even just an avenue to look down. 

thanks much!

You can use getBounds to get the global bounding box and calculate the center of it.

And to calculate the global position of child display objects, you can use

let globalPos = displayObject.toGlobal( displayObject.position );
