When you load an item, the item attaches its upper left corner to the registry point of the clip you load it into.

You can use an empty movie clip if you wanted, size doesn’t matter, the registry point does.

Go to Insert/Create New Symbol and choose movie clip, then you will see a block with 9 squares, click on the square in the upper left hand corner, it will turn dark.

Now your registration point will be set there, and your image will attach there was well.

I went to Insert/Create New Symbol and choose movie clip, but did not see a block with 9 squares.  
I am using CS3 Is there another way to change the registry point?  
Thanks
