i’ve been using the equillibrium code that centers an object between 4 other objects, but when you put the 4 objects inside of another symbol it messes up and i have all the roots right. If you look at the .fla you will be able to see how easy the code is ( its in the square) but it wont work. ---

sorted you out via email… if ne1 wants to know, heres the prob he was havin: 1. you had \_root.ball1.1.\_x+\_root.1.ball2.\_x… notice the difference to the path for ball 1? 1. the mc your balls were in didnt actually have an instance name… but i gave it an instance name = the symbol name which led to problem 3: 2. flash does not like instance names starting with numbers. so i named your balls mc a1 changed the paths and hey presto…it works… ish… which leads to secret problem number 4! lol dont forget that in an mc a symbols xy values are calculated from the registration point, so to get it to be a “true” equilibrium, you have to ensure that your balls mc has a registration point at the top left hand corner of your document 😉 Prophet.
