[CS3] x position of a movieClip (registration point?)

[nikefido]

I'm not sure if the terminology is correct, however:

I have a movie clip and it's X position is registering from the center of the movie clip - is there a way to make Flash read it from the Left or Right most position of the movie clip?

example:
I have a stage, width is 550 pixels. The top left corner is (0,0) so the X positions also correspond to object widths.

My movie clip is 1000pixels long, and centered on the stage. It's X position is 275. (550 / 2 = 275).
The far left of the movie clip's X position is -225
The far right X pos. is 775.
The middle X pos is 275 (the x position Flash is returning).

Is it possible to make the registration point on the LEFT most of the movie clip so it's X in this current, centered position would be -225?

First you should make sure then when you go into the movie clip and select all the items, and change the x and y coordinates to 0,0

After that you should see the registration point (little circle with a plus sign in it) will be at the top left of your clip on the stage!

Hope that points you in the right direction!
