Hey misssonia,  
That was one of the first features that I grumbled about: the lack of a means to edit the registration point. You have the option of setting the registration point when creating/converting a symbol. You will see 9 little boxes and you can click where you want the center to be.

The easiest method I found was to simply right click on a symbol and select ‘Edit in Place’. Once you are editing that symbol, move the stuff in that symbol in relation to the crosshair you will see in the center. That should help you to manually set the registration point of your movie.
