The registration point according to Actionscript is created when you create your movie clip.

After you hit f8 and open up the symbols panel, you will see a block with 9 squares in it, each of those squares are clickable and allow you to edit where you want your registration point to be.

If you edit it with the free transform tool, that just edits it for things you do like rotating it with the free transform tool and such.

The center point is called the registration point.

When you turn your item into a symbol, in the panel where you can select what type of symbol (mc, button, or graphic) there is a block of 9 squares, each of these squares represents a spot where you can adjust the registration point
