Symbol position issue in Edge animate (was:Positioning problem)

Branislav Milic Oct 6, 2014 7:16 AM

I have created a Symbol with no padding and I position it precisely in the middle of the animation: x:0 y:300

Visually the symbol is perfectly aligned.

But when I preview the animation, the Symbol is not perfectly aligned.

If I cheat on the position by setting X:-2 y:299

Then it is aligned perfectly on the final output.

I will send the source files to somebody with an adobe.com email address.

Thank you.

Check the stage size INSIDE your symbol. Probably your assets are not fixed et the 0 0 of the Symbol's stage

Hi,

As per my understanding, (which may/maynot be correct)

This issue is due to odd sized width of the symbol.
In your case: width = 411
So, rotation is about the centre(50%, 50%) i.e. 411 / 2 = 205.5 which gets rounded to 206 (since half-pixel can't be handled).

When rotated by 180, the left of the center now becomes 205 and right becomes 206. So, that's why you see the padding of around 1px on the left of the symbol.

Workaround:
Better try with even sized width(say 410 or 412), and see if this resolves the issue. Do let me know if either case.

hth,
Vivekuma
