Hi, I would like to know inside the canvas you can get the x and y coordinates of the sprites. Thanks.

Hi,

Is this a question or are you telling us that you know how to do this and are ready to tell others about it?

You can use the ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/b/4bd5d470082460764c7ed7fc22e4c856fe5635cd.png) to get the x/y value of a sprite (in the Motion drawer). In this sample project, tap the screen to move the sprite and see it’s x/y position.

In the designer, if you click on the sprite, you can see it’s x/y in the properties panel on the right:
