Hello,  
I’m looking to change the position of a movie’s graphic content; change it’s registration point, without changing it’s xy position. I can’t do it outside of runtime. Is there a way to, using AS3? I know I can move all the graphics in the Flash editor before runtime, but is it possible to do an operation like that during runtime.

Thank you in advance :beam:
