How do I edit a Registration point

programming flash
1

Hi

Ihave a MC which has its registration point in the centre of the clip. I need it to be in the top left hand corner.

I have gone to free transform, and moved the small circle from the centre to the top left - no problems there. The cross hairs though stay in the centre, and this is still where the MC works from.

I suspect that shifting the cross hairs to the top left is what I need, but I can’t seem to find a way to do it.

Anyone have the answer?

Thanks in advance

If you are trying using AS to change theposition or rotation of your clip, it goes by the original location of the registration point. Moving the registration point only works for manually tweens.

In the case of AS, you would need to recreate your clip with the center in a new place, or double click your clip to open it for editing in place, then drag the contents in the clip so that the (0,0) point is where you want it to be.

what if you want it to be somewhere other than the options given ie between center and bottom-center

or double click your clip to open it for editing in place, then drag the contents in the clip so that the (0,0) point is where you want it to be.

Then you use that method. Usually the default locations are fine (at least I have never had to have a “custom” location), but if you need it, I think that is your best option.
