Apparently this is the question of the day - my question was answered in the thread 'Rotating a mc around a custom pivotpoint'.

Hi all,

This might be a silly question - but I've been searching for a while and haven't come up with a good answer yet. The question is - how do you change a movieclip's anchor point at runtime?

Lets say you've got a 400x300 movieclip, with an anchor point of 0,0 (upper lefthand corner).
If you want to change the anchor to 200,0 ... what do you do?

MovieClip.setAnchor(x,y) doesn't exist, right?

It seems like one would have to load the movie into another movieclip, offset the position of the subMovie, then rotate the parent clip.... right? Is this the only way? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
- Lou
