Flash :: Change Registration Point Of A MovieClip To Be Center Of Width And Bottom?
Oct 13, 2010
I have a MC in an AS3 animation and I want to increase its height from bottom to top which would mean that the registration point should be bottom of the MC and center of width (horizontal center).
When 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. Now onice you create object is there way to change this registration point e.g. i created it in center now i want to to be in upper left corner?
I'm trying to see if there's a way to change the registration point of a MovieClip that's importing an image dynamically?Here is my code where I add an image to an "overlayHolder":
What I need to do is rotate this image later on, upon interaction from someone, but need it to rotate with a center-registration.I've seen a bunch of tutorials/forums talk about centering a registration point when you're drawing a Sprite on the stage, but not when you're importing an image.

Can I set the registration point of a MovieClip (or other Display Object) to its center upon creation in AS3? the following
[Code]...
sets the registration point of myClip to its top left corner by default. Using Flash CS4 to set it to its center is just a couple of clicks, so I am wondering how I can perform the same action only with code.
Is there a way to extend only the bottom part of a dynamic Movieclip? I tried to change the height or to scale my mc but it always makes the change relativity to the center of the Movieclip. I guess I should define a registration point and change the height according to it but i'm not sure of how to do it
I'm having some troubles trying to scroll a container MovieClip across the stage.I've attached an EventListener to the stage to track the MOUSE_MOVE MouseEvent, but it scrolls in a weird way (when halfway the screen it shows about 300 px of the container, when going below the horizontal centre, it goes up and disappears from sight.This is my code:
Code: private function moveHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
I need to have 2 kinds of masks, one with a registration point in the top left so that when I tween its height it expands downwards, and one with a registration point in the bottom left so that when I tween its height it expands upwards?how do i do that, with code ofcourse?i have made something but i dont know if its the right way:(this expands downwards, but i dont know how to get it to expand upwards)
Code: import gs.TweenLite; var subMask:Shape = new Shape();
I'm trying to use Zoom transition for my photo Gallery which I'm using loadMovie "jpg" from Xml file.Now the problem is here. The Registration Point is set to the top upper left corner and I would like it to be in the center of my loadMovie.The Zoom transition only zoom from left corner and need to be center equal sides. How do I do this. My image size is "width 400px height 240px
I'm making a 3D room builder. The user places Sprites around the 2D stage and my script converts those Sprites to Papervision3D DisplayObject3D objects. I'm having problems with the 3D object positioning because Sprites have registration points at their top-left corner and 3D objects have registration points at their center. How can I make that conversion?ere's a scheme of how the 2 different coordinate systems work:
I've tried this code: child3D.x = child2D.x; child3D.z = child2D.y - child2D.y - child2D.y; // just to make it negative
I start with a question: how could I change the registration point of a movie clip created or loaded at runtime? I want to move the registration point from top/left to center.
Is there a way to change the position of the registration point inside a Movie Clip using Flash5 ?I've found stuff online for older Flash versions but not CS5.
Has anyone got a bit of code I can use to change the center point DisplayObjects rotate around in a 3D space? I need it to work with rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ. I know theres a workaround of wrapping every object in aother sprite and offsetting the x & y positions but I'd much prefer a math solution. As an example of the problem, this code should make a star shape:
I have a symbol created out of a bitmap image. When I converted the "bitmap" to a "movieclip" object, I selected the center registration point in the dialog box. After the symbol is created an placed on the stage, I can seen the registration point at the center of the movieclip. Nevertheless, if I check the coordinates of the movieclip, it refers to the top left corner instead of the registration point. The most strange thing is that if I try to check the coordinates of the movieclip using Actionscript - something like trace("x: " + mc._x + "y: " + mc._y); - it do refers to the center point of the movieclip. So how can I have the coordinates during design time the same as during runtime? Why do I always have to refer to the top left corner and not to the ACTUAL registration point?
I want to learn how you can change the registration point for the Canvas.I want to make a zoom of this component, but the point registration in the upper left corner! How do I move to the center?

To load an image onto a movieclip, the mc's registration point must be top left. Is there a way of loading the image on the whole movieclip, when it's reg point is not top left. In other words to set where to start putting the image in reference to the movieclip
I have a movie clip on my stage with various elements in it. When I edit this movie clip all the coordinates for the various elements have really random values because the registration point is not set to the top left corner of the symbol but I can't find any way to change the registration point - nothing I've found online so far works.
Using the new 3D features in CS4. I know you can change the 3d center point manually via the Transform panel, but does anyone know how to do this dynamically at runtime? (ie via code)
I 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.
how to change the registration point of a movie clip at run time using action script 3.0.I have gotten a lot of code in the past but none of it worked and all of it was not for 3.0 but other versions.
