I’ve cut and pasted the random motion tutorial code into my movie, and for some reason the movie clips that are moving migrate to the bottom right off the movie, off-stage. I’ve tried setting the registration point of the movie to the upper left, but that didn’t help. Any ideas? I’ve attached the .fla. Thanks in advance,
Hi,
You are on the right track, it is the centre point of mc.mask_movie_clip that needs to be altered.
To do this, on the main stage, double click on your mc, once inside, double click again so that you are inside mc.mask_movie_clip, then highlight all of your green balls ( at the same time), and in the properties panel reset the x & y pos to 0.
Then come up a level to mc.moviecontainer and reset the x & y of instance mask_i to 0, then it will work OK
Hope that helps
