actor in screen area detection
Hi I've got a problem one of you bright sparks might have an idea about 
The scene size (ipad) is 2 widths and 2 heights. There's an actor that whizzes around the whole scene using a multi-directional joystick. The camera tracks him
When movement stops I need to be able to work out if he is in the upper half or lower half of the visible screen!!
I've got the actor's X & Y and the camera's (which is the same) but can't work out how to do this.
Depending on what direction he is moving he could stop at Y position 768 which is half way up the double size scene but he could stop in any position on the visible scene.
Is there some trick out there to do this?
Edit : sorry, the camera X&Y are different to the actor of course but since the tracking area is 500x300 the camera.Y doesn't always reflect movement on the screen. I know, this confuses the question. But if anyone understand what I mean...... thx

So lets say you actor stops at a y value of 768
and the cameras y origin is 500
The center of the screens position would be 500+384 which equals 884. so the actors position is less than the center making it in the lower half.
Hope that helps.
That was so simple I'm ashamed I didn't work it out myself.
