I’m new at FMX but it sounds like you want to change your registration point. It’s pretty easy. Double click on the MC in question. When you are on the level of the bitmap (graphic) - use the arrow keys to move the crosshairs where you want them. See if that works. ---

Okay, I double checked. In flash MX, you can move the registration point by using the arrow keys on the ‘edit in place’ function. This may not be what you want to do. But it moves the crosshairs to where you want. 🙂 ---

First off - you know I’m new at this too, I hope so.🙂 The round spot on your movie clip - forgive me for not knowing the name, can be moved with free transform… This will (for all practical purposes) change the point of rotation if you choose to rotate your movie clip on the stage. (I don’t know the real name, sorry…😏) If you double click on that same movie clip - you will go into a different mode (same as F8 while the MC is selected - then ‘Edit In Place’) - then you can use your arrow keys to move the crosshairs wherever you desire. This is all in Flash MX. I have never used a Flash program before MX (6.0). If you are using a different version - it could be the basis of our miscommunication. 🙂 ---

Forgot something: Otherwise - the arrow keys will do nothing but move your MC around the stage. (-: 🙂 ---
