I created an empty movie clip to load my external swf files, however when I go to Modify\>Edit Center and move the crosshairs to the upper left corner…there is still a crosshair in the middle as well. It shows 2 crosshairs. My movies end up loading in the middle one.

I’m confused. Also, I made a preloader and the bar loads from the middle outwards instead of from left to right. Similar to problem above. Could someone please help.

Try this!

I think it is best if you practice always placing the registration points to the upper left corner of your symbols
