This may be a stupid question but do the Drawing API coordinates not match up to the actionscript \_x and \_y coordinates of movie clips? I am atempting to get a small movie clip to trace a specific path and its always off.

I just set it up to rebound off the edges of my flash project as well and it will disappear off the bottom edge then bounce back up and hit the top edge as it should.

Do you have your Registration points set up ?

Do you have your points set to the middle of your object, or top left corner ?

Or am I way off…
