I'm a relative noobie struggling to understand object registration points / center points. For example, in this image of an empty movie clip from an XML gallery I'm customizing for my site, there is a circle with a cross and an empty circle.
Can someone point me to a thread or article that explains object registration points, how they relate to each other and how (and why) to move them (or not)?
using action script how can I set the registration point of an object. Also what import would I use.
View 1 RepliesI have an object which is converted into a symbol. I double click on this object/symbol and it goes into its own seperate timeline. For my coding purposes I would like to know how to change the registration point of the symbol so it moves along or is addjustable on a symbols its own timeline so a can create animations on an objects timeline without screwing up my codeing because objects don't register when their moved away from the registration point the compiler still thinks that the registration point is where it was previously.

This is probably really trivial, but how do I set an object's ransformation/registration point in AS3, not the IDE?

View 1 RepliesWhen you create shape on stage and right click and chose create object you can chose Registration point for the object you chose what corner will be used as center of coordinates for this object.

View 5 RepliesI am moving movieclips around my stage in relation to the users mouse location. All of my movieclips have the registration point placed in the default top left corner. As an object moves off the stage to the left it suddenly disappears when the registration point reaches the edge of the stage. I would like to see the whole object move off the screen instead of just disappearing when the left corner reaches the edge. I would move the registration point to the right side but I would like the movieclip to be able to move off all sides of the stage (top, bottom, left, right)

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip on my stage with various elements in it.

View 3 RepliesI want to load a series .jpgs into an existing mcs. The mcs are 75 x 75 pix and the .jpgs are 50 x 50 pix. The problem is that I made the mcs with the registration point at the top left corner. This causes the mcs to load in at that point so that the margine between the .jpg and the mc is uneven. How can I change the registration point of each mc so that the CENTER of the .jpg is positioned the CENTER of the mc?

View 2 RepliesI'm importing an image that I'll use as my pointer(arrow) in a speedometer. My problem is that I need to manually set the movieClip's registration point so that I'll get the rotation right. If I manually drag the image on stage and use F8 to convert it to a MovieClip, I can set the registration point in the dialog box popping up. The only thing I'm trying to do is just that, but with ActionScript since I create this thingie dynamically
View 3 RepliesI've got quite a few images that are being loaded into my project through the MovieClipLoader function, anyway, when they are loaded to a specific MovieClip, their registration point is set to the top left corner (0, 0).Is there any way of adjusting the registration point for this MovieClip? Or would I have to something like the following:
Code:
var pL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
// loader[code]......
I don't know if the above is even possible, but thats what I'd guess, if there is no way of setting the registration point in a easier way. I feel that the above is such a waste.
Do you usually set the registration point in the upper-left corner ?I usually have always troubles with the registration point in the center.. or is maybe useful in any situation ?

in my dynamic gallery my empty movie clips that load the images have their registration point at the top left of frame.this means that even if i have images of different sizes, I have to make them all the same size and then with white borders if necessary so that they all display in the same place. it would be better if they were centred inside the emoty movie clip and the movie clips registration point was at the centre.. is this possible ?
