Sorry for another question so fast, but I am hyped up again, and on a roll. I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the registration point of a clip generated in AS with createEmptyMovieClip – I have a simplified example of the problem at these addresses:\r\r[www.interintuit.com/example.html (swf)\r\r[url=“http://www.interintuit.com/example.fla”]www.interintuit.com/example.fla](http://www.interintuit.com/example.html) (source)\r\rthis movie creates a new blank clip, “conch,” and then draws lines around a circle using various steps of increase in degrees and radius. When it is done drawing, I’d like the clip to rotate around its center of axis a few times, as shown in frames 4-6 of the source. Trouble is, it rotates around the upper left corner.\r\rThanks in advance for any help you can offer!!!\r\rShannon ---

you should place ‘conch’ in the center of the movie.\rthen draw the spiral around the center (not down and to the right).\rthen rotate ‘conch’.\r:) \rjeremy
