Is it possible to change the registration point of a movie clip?
I have set it to the top left corner on a movie clip that I now need to change to the middle, how can I do this in Adobe Flash CS3? Already answered

Got one more question:
I also have these variable updates in my TowerOne.as class:

_root.ButtonOne.alreadyOn = false;
_root.Range.placed = true;
_root.Wall.gold = _root.Wall.gold – 50;

but none of them are actually doing the things I ask them to, but still I am not getting any errors, anyone who can see why?

Kind Regards
XsiX

If you double-click on the movie clip (either in the stage or in the library) you will be able to edit the contents of the movie clip. There should be a little cross that represents the registration point of the move clip. Just select everything and use the align tools to center it on the little cross (in Flash 8 the align tools are in the Modify→Align menu, but I’m not sure if its the same in Flash CS3.)

Here are some graphical instructions for what WarKry is talking about. But those are for Flash MX, potentially they don’t apply to Flash CS3.

Cool, dident work the same way in Flash CS3, but I found out how to do it.
What you do is you go to Free Transform on the object you wish to change, then instead of moving the registration point around, you move the object around, and then place the object so it matches the where you want the registration point to be :)
