Hi,

I’m a programmer in many languages, but a Flash/Actionscript newbie so be gentle. :wink:

Is there a way to set the registration point of a movie clip programmatically in actionscript?

I want to be able to use createEmptyMovieClip(…) and then set the registration point to the center of the clip in order to do a symmetrical rotation.

I’m open to any enlightenment.

Thanks

no, not specifically. That kind of registration manipulation is done via a containing clip where you have your imagery inside of the containing clip and move it around within effectively changing the centerpoint of that containing clip (as its contents were adjusted).

if you are creating empty movieclips, you can just make anotherone within the original and do what you need in that, then adjust its position within the first and rotate the first

Thanks a lot. Worked great!
