Hi —

I am importing an SWF Text Animation made with Swish into Flash MX. When it gets imported, it gets arbitrarily placed in the scene. When I attempt to move it I can not seem to be able to move the entire animation. I have only be able to move one frame – not the entire animation. I have attempted to group the object by but that doesn’t seem to work either.

HELP!

Also, I have attempted to convert it to a MovieClip, but then when I place the MC in the scene, only the registration point is visible and I can’t accurately place it where I need to. Is there I way to change the location of the registration point?

This whole situation is driving me nuts. Can someone please help?

Thanks for any and all respones.

Cheers.

Bubba

Tutorial !! [www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/rpoint.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/rpoint.asp)  
To move everything, did you try to click directly on the layer and then move it with the arrows ?
