For a simple image editing application in Flash (AS 2.0) i’m looking for a method to change the registration point of a MC dynamically. This is needed since the imageHolder clip that i loadMovie() my jpeg in needs to be rotated, scaled etc. after it has been placed on the scene, and it’s a drag to correctly center the image on each event based on a point in the upper left corner instead of simply the middle of the image. trust me on that one 😉

I have tried simple loading the jpeg into a MC that already has it’s registration point centered but this does not seem to matter.

Any ideas/tips?
