Ned Murphy Jun 4, 2013 9:38 AM (in response to mrm5102)You could always create another movieclip from the one you have (select the mc and choose create MovieClip) and when you do specify the upper left to be the registration point.

mrm5102 Jun 4, 2013 10:02 AM (in response to mrm5102)Hey Ned thanks for the reply.
Ok, so should I just create a "new" Movie Clip Symbol --OR-- do I copy the existing Movie Clip and do it that way? But I guess if I'm copying it, it won't
give me the option to change it's Registration Point?
Thanks Again for the reply!.
Thanks Again,
Matt

mrm5102 Jun 4, 2013 10:26 AM (in response to Ned Murphy)Hey Ned, I just stumbled across this thing that I think might do what I was trying to do (*i.e. Use the Dot-like grid for the Registration Point)... MAYBE??
I had selected the Movie Clip (*on the stage, not in the Library) and then clicked on the menu > Window > Info.
After selecting " Info" the "Info window-panel" appeared. Then in that window I could see at the top between "W" size and the "X" Coordinate
there is a little square which has 4 square-dots as it's corners. I can then click that square (*doesn't matter where on the square I click) and it changes
the top-left square-corner from a square to an "X". Then if I click it again the "X" becomes a square again and the bottom-right corner changes from a
square to a circle... Also, when doing the above, (i.e. clicking in the square) I can see the X and Y Coordinates are changing.
Is that thing considered the "Registration Point"?
Here's a Link to a Screenshot of what I'm talking about.

mrm5102 Jun 4, 2013 2:16 PM (in response to Ned Murphy)Hey Ned, don't worry about answering my other post. I was able to find a short tutorial on the Info Panel...
But I did as you said and created a new Movie Clip and was able to get the Registration Point in the correct location that I
wanted it in.
Thanks Again for you help,
Matt
